The SF-36 and it's translations are managed by a company called Optum. You can contact them using the email addresses or phone numbers listed here: https://campaign.optum.com/optum-outcomes/contact-us.html.
All the translations available are listed here: http://campaign.optum.com/content/optum/en/optum-outcomes/what-we-do/health-survey-translation/surveys-translation-tables.html, and there are a number of language versions validated for use in Malaysia.
I believe the license fees are much reduced or waived for academic research compared to pharmaceutical industry use.
I hope the links above help. Good luck with your project.
