Its easy you make an application and wait for the result.

Gravitas

You have to be able to speak Bahasa Malaysia, as one of the many requirements.

Naturalization

Naturalization is the method by which people with no Malay heritage may become citizens. This process requires would-be citizens to live in Malaysia for 10 of the 12 years prior to the application and speak the Malay language. The level of speech and comprehension of Malay is vaguely defined in the constitution, which states applicants should have "adequate knowledge." Besides providing one's own identity and residence documents and proving a knowledge of Malay, an applicant must submit the identity cards of two Malaysians who recommend the applicant for citizenship.

This links provides information about PR and Naturalization.

Chances are nil unless very rich or connected or have done great things in Malaysia like start a university. Malaysia is a very small country and quite sensibly restricts citizenship/pr/work permits to avoid being swamped with immigrants.
