Maybe because Malaysian society is separated into Chinese educated, English educated and Malay educated. It's like three different societies. English educated mostly don't understand mandarin, maybe know a little bit native dialects ie. Cantonese, Hokkien etc.

Yeah. All my Malaysian friends are Chinese and they speak fluently putonghua/Cantonese and English with almost no accent, or neutral accent, which surprised me a lot.

They told me because they went to Chinese school in Malaysia 🇲🇾 and speak Cantonese with their parents.

Do you speak canto?
