Aevamo’s reading
The Immigration Department of Malaysia is the body that administers entry control under the Immigration Act 1959/63; its 'Visa Requirement by Country' page is the operative instrument stating which nationalities must obtain a visa before entry (who must apply), and the complementary visa-free durations are published by the same department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the documents cited. The page imposes the requirement ('Countries required to apply for a visa to enter Malaysia') rather than merely reporting that one exists.
The MOFA document lists these nationalities under 'Countries that require visa for a stay exceeding 3 months', i.e. they are visa-free for stays up to three months.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
