US schools tend to have more formal programs to transfer and recognize courses from a country like Malaysia.  See https://www.usnews.com/education/blogs/international-student-counsel/2015/02/03/tips-for-international-students-looking-to-transfer-schools.

The individual colleges in the UK tend to partner with UK-style schools in the UK and less with other countries. For instance, Coventry suggests their "online degree" program for international students who are not in close collaboration with Coventry.

I recommend the US for the services that are available to assess transfer credit for international students.
