The answer usually given to this question is "metal" and that answer is correct.
But, a metal is actually a material that conducts electricity well. The reason both conductivities, electrical and thermal, are high is that the "free electrons" that make a metal conduct electricity are also the mechanism for conducting heat.
Malleable means "easily shaped" and the question remains as to why metals are easily shaped.
Atoms in solids are held together by "bonds" formed by the electrons of the constituent atoms. (That is a long diversion to explain further.) The "bonds" in a metal are different than those in a generic materials because the electrons in those bonds are not strongly localized in the immediate vicinity of the individual atoms. These "metal" bonds are actually diffused throughout the metal. As a result, moving metallic atoms relative to one another does not require large distortions of the bonds and does not necessitate breaking bonds. The movement or material requires a general rearrangement of the electronic structure of the diffuse metallic bonds but that leaves the "bonds" in place.
Thus, gradual disruption of atomic arrangement associated with changing the shape does not result in the destruction of the microscopic arrangements of "bonds" as it does in a brittle material where cracks result.
A small caveat is necessary. Cracks do develop in metals, but the explanation here is one of degree and a qualitative description of the microscopic explanation of malleability.
A metal is malleable and can conduct electricity.
Most transition metals fit that description.
Wow really?... this is 100% common sense its METAL! dumb @$$
All the metals are malleable i.e. they produce sound when strike on hard surface & all metals are good conductor of electricity. Example :- Silver & gold
Gold
A metal.
All of the elements are having malleabiltiy nature and good conducted of electricity is copper and silver
Metal
t that is a malleable, shiny solid, but doesn't conduct heat or electricity
nonmetal
No, it would be a nonmetal. Metals are usually malleable and do conduct electricity well.
yes, as all it's constituent substances can also conduct electricity
Some do. Electrolytes, which are substances that break into ions when dissolved in water, will conduct electricity. Such substances include soluble salts, acids, and bases.Other water soluble substances are non electrolytes and do not break into ions in water, or at least do so in extremely minute amounts. They do not conduct electricity. These include alcohols, sugars, and some other polar compounds.
Carbon is not malleable but in some forms can conduct electricity. Gold is malleable and conductive.

nonmetal
Metals
The alkali metals, transition metals and metals in group 13, 14, and 15 on the periodic table all are malleable and good conductors of electricityEach of these groups has different characteristics, but all are able to conduct electricity and be formed or shaped easily.
nonmetals
Nonmetals
metals
No. Covalent substances do not conduct electricity in solid or liquid state.
Most molecular substances do not conduct electricity since the ions don't dissociate very well with molecular substances. However, most ionic substances do conduct electricity very well due to their ability to dissociate very well in water.
