I’ve no idea when the announcement was made, but the Department of Statistics has now made available detailed external trade data for Malaysia online. The database covers 2006 onwards on a monthly frequency and you can query by country, country grouping, or product codes (both HS and SITC codes), with output in pdf or Excel formats.
This is one heck of a fantastic resource for researchers, especially if DOS manages to extend the sample range further back.
For a good alternative for longer series (all the way back to the 60s), you can try the United Nations Comtrade database.
