Unless I missed something, that patch only altered Asia/Singapore.
I'd be truly astounded if the same was not also required for
Asia/Kuala_Lumpur.

it says:
Dr Mahathir [PM at the time] passed the Malaysian Standard Time Act (1981),
which set the clocks ahead 30 minutes on 11.30pm December 31st 1981.
New Year\u2019s celebrations came early that year.
There's also a summary of the earlier changes, but nothing we didn't
already know, and no additional details on exact transition times/dates.
