Re Malaysia, it's outside the scope of my current research.

I can say that in T2K Australia is producing some oil for domestic and local allied use, the biggest problem being Australian refineries are located on the other side of the continent for the most part and set up to use a completely different grade of crude. They can process Australian oil, but it's very inefficient with lots of waste, and then there's the small problem of transporting the crude to the refineries in the first place (there's no major pipelines such as from Alaska).

One small note from Mediterranean Cruise is Libya is producing a trickle of oil, but the only refining is letting it settle in barrels before scooping the top layer off to burn in diesels.
