Mainland China is state run does not use most of Google services so ranking for China is some what a different thing as search results are filted by the great firewall of China.

For Traditional Chinese, the best KW info will come from Baidu. Baidu has its own KW/SEO tools baked into the backend, similar to Google’s set of tools.

I’d look at your traffic and where it’s coming from. A site I worked for had significant Trad Chinese visitation and search terms, with said traffic coming from the US. Most likely all VPN traffic. So we focused on Google & used Western SEO tools (SEMrush).

Malay you can get from Western sources, but a more local source might be better. I didn’t do any work with Malay, so don’t have actual experience there.

For Malaysia Ahrefs is your best bet.
