I don't know about internationally, but we travelled interstate and didn't run into any problems with carrying formula or water in our bottles, so I hope you don't either. We carried a few of the ready to drink cartons though, just in our carry on luggage, because it was easier to do that than to make up the formula when we were on the plane.
We flew to the UK & back again a few weeks ago. My DD2 is FF, and I took all her bottles with the boiled water, and the little containers with pre measured amounts of formula (novalac reflux doesn't come pre packaged) I also took solids (rice cereal & frozen cubes of veges) and her 120ml bottle of Losec suspension (need to be friged on the plane) We stopped in Singapore & Dubai on the way over & landed in Birmingham. We had no problems whatsoever.
On our return trip, going through customs at Birmingham, they made me take a sip from each of her bottles of boiled water, and taste her solids - no big deal really - I guess at least they are being vigilant. When I made the bottles with the cooled boiled water, I put a bit extra in so tasting them wouldn't affect making them up correctly. HTH

p.s. Have you organised to get a bassinette on the plane? - it made for a really comfortable flight (my DD was 4 months old when we flew) and she was a dream on the plane - sucking a dummy during take off & landing helped loads!
Hi I haven't been through Malaysia, but with the UK they just made me take a sip of any fluids that we were taking with us. With the USA they actually test a small amount of any fluids that you take. Can you see if there is a website for the airport at you will be flying through, or ask the airline?
On all my travels I have found that most places are pretty good when it comes to little ones and all the extra things at you need to carry.
