Reddit mentions of Colloquial Malay: The Complete Course for Beginners (The Colloquial Series)

Not much resources. Most people learn Indonesian as it have more resources but most native Malay can't understand it completely.

My post from a while back -

Material are scarce if you compare to Japanese or Chinese but you can get to conversational level.

Many free links are available >here<

But more proper material for English speaker is not available unless you buy them (check used books at Abebooks or library copy). There are TY Malay, the cheap AW Hamilton old book or that poorly designed Colloquial Malay

I think with the first two book, you should jump to cartoons or drama. Both use simple conversational Malay. Almost all should have English sub.

• Upin Ipin with subs
  
• Tonton (like Netflix of Malaysia)
  
  It takes a long time but if you religiously check dictionary, then you can make it within a couple of months (not days)
  
  Also, visit HelloTalk or lang 8. Hundreds of native will help you because we don't match with anyone else as everyone likes to learn more popular languages.
  
  If you want to read children's book or novels, you can but they actually use advanced Malay that no one use ever even if you talk to official government personal. It mostly in literature.
  > example of book
  
  Most books are sold through Facebook or social media and centralized market for books can be hard to find but plentiful in local book store Now u can subscribe cheap Malay books from a website call NovelPlus as low as USD3/mo
  
  For music, I recommend the following artist as they have great voice - Siti Nurhaliza, Sheila Majid, M. Nasir, Ning Baizura. For rock, Bunkface, Search and Hujan are my favorite.
