Of course we do receive Japanese mangas earlier than US. But mostly are in Chinese and I can't read that. Some may turn it into Malay language but I don't like it. It is because they are using Chinese translated stuff into Malay. The translation might be Chinese-ish (sometimes with Chinese names). Plus double scanning sucks. Japanese > Chinese > Malay. That's a LOL job.
But of course that there are local magazines that do the same thing like Shounen Jump magazine and others. Some of it even translated directly from them. Those are cool stuffs plus Malaysia and other Asian countries have special relationship with Japan. In fact, Naruto (I dont like Naruto. I just want to point out) anime was being dubbed into local here earlier than in US. And of course, it was licensed earlier in this country. Same goes to Gundam Seed (I dont like Gundam too).
