Hi Anu,
Read Malaysian governmental laws at https://interfaithshaadi.org/?p=11100. Basically a Hindu cannot marry and register your marriage in Malaysia. It is possible that they may not bother much with non-Malay but you will have more problems if you ever decide to settle there. For ex-pats, it is possible they may say go register in your own country’s embassy, check it out.
More important question is, how are you planning to be a “Hindu” in Muslim home, especially if you ever return to India? What have you decided about religion of your children? Are your parents okay with this marriage or are you planning to lie to them?
You have to know that you are walking on fire, make sure you understand clearly what you are getting into. We are here to help you, so do keep in touch.
