With a POD of 1500, Han Chinese people have to be the majority in Malaysia. The majority can be a razor thin majority, but it has to be a majority in 2018. What can be done to get to that point??
Wouldn't the answer be "more of the same"?
AFAIK in 1960 the Chinese were 37% - and that is without Singapore. Plus 10% Indians. With Singapore the Malays were barely past the 50% mark.
So, simply do not bring in Indians and bring in a little more Chinese and you have a Chinese majority.

More Chinese immigration would be a good way to get this, but how would you get this? What were the factors that drove Chinese immigration to Malaya, particularly, in the first place? Why were Chinese so numerous there in ways that they generally were not elsewhere in Southeast Asia, or were these Chinese-plurality regions elsewhere that simply were not sovereign states?
It's honestly not that hard to get a Chinese-majority in Malaysia, so long as conditions in China remain horrific (Mao-era China was pretty bad). The main issue is whether the colonial or local authorities would allow it.
Honestly, any case of a Chinese majority-Malay(si)a will inevitably result in becoming a vassal state of the Ming/Qing Empire and in modern day it would be wildly different from OTL Malaysia.
