I think it’s a legitimate printing.
Something I’ve noticed is that non-Japanese pressings bring a premium on YJA. For example, the US version of Donkey Kong Country 2 sells for much more on YJA than on eBay. I would guess it’s because most folks in Japan just don’t use eBay, and so to them the album is rare and hard to get (hence the high price).
It could be similar for Malaysian goods as well.
Out of curiosity, does anyone know where to find a cheaper copy?
e.g. is there some Malaysia-specific auction site or online marketplace?
