Malaysia treats a pet from Cambodia as non-scheduled: at least seven days in quarantine, extendable up to six months. It must travel as cargo and, if quarantined, land only at KLIA, Penang or Padang Besar. Cambodia publishes no pet export page we could find, so ask the DAHP office in Phnom Penh what it will certify.
