As of 18 February 2022, Malaysia

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/region/malaysia

Deaths 32,240

Mortality Rate -

( 32,240 "official Mayasian deaths" / 33,036,315 population of Malaysia ) x 100 = 0.0975 % death rate.

Less than one-tenth of one percent over more than two years' "data."

Malaysia vs. USA:

Climate much less favorable for this type virus, than, say, the USA.

Younger, fitter population.

Much better mitigating population than USA. (Most Americans are too arrogant or bullheaded to recognize this.)

Low infection rate (VERY low prior to Delta) > lower virion levels being spread in general, esp. in public places > less severe infections.
