Intellectual property filing in Malaysia is territorial in nature. If the intellectual property filing is in Malaysia, protection is only within Malaysia.
No, being a registered proprietor of a trademark means you have the exclusive right over your trademark. This would prevent any unauthorized use of your trademark by any third party. You may however choose to licence the trademark.
Nonetheless, you may seek professional advice if you believe that someone is infringing your trademark. An intellectual property expert would be the right person to give you information on the existing options in Malaysia and, presumably, also in neighbouring countries to initiate action against counterfeiting and infringement and will provide you with advice on how to enforce your rights.
