Out of the entire PPRuNe forum, I don't think many can answer but I can answer tough question that nobody can answer.

For Malaysian holding any foreign license, it can be converted to CAAM license!

For your case (based on your limited info written here), it is most likely, you must convert it through Malaysia AFTO out of your own pocket. The conversion requires applicant to clear all papers and 25-35 hours in ME.

Before answering to your second question about time building in Malaysia. For "ATP minimums", are you referring to FAA ATP minimum?
