Who sold it to you in Malaysia?
That would be your contact partner, I think!

I got it from a rc hobby shop, before the latest update, I was flying it and the motor stopped and fell to the ground. I contacted the shop but the warranty was void because my drone fell to the ground.
That's when i file a report to DJI customer support. Upon checking, dji support informed me my drone was bought from the mainland CHINA and that cannot be covered by the DJI warranty unless i can provide a local china address right there. Now the help dji support can offer is to check my flight data for me, but the repair cost i will have to bear it my self even if the fault was not from me.

Kinda bummer, to know even owning an original DJI drone, doesn't entitle a warranty if the drone was sold by shops that got it from CHINA.

An expensive learning experience for me.

What is the meaning of "unless i can provide a local china address right there"?
Do you need to get it to China and send it in from a local adress?
Or you need a bill from China?
I think, your RC shop is importing under the DJI radar, ok.
But how can they void a warranty, which may have happened because of a warranty malfunction?

The warranty is, unless a worldwide one, a very local thing, thats true.
But that "only" means you have to get it to China, right?
Dont you know some Main-Land Chinese People?

Or isn't the RC Shop somehow connected and wanna keep customers?

I would probably not buy there again, methinks

Here's an idea. Maybe we should all remove the props, add tires to the spark and use it as an RC Car.
