When you relocate permanently to a different country you need to make sure you change your country settings entirely and be ready to do so when you actually move country. The article Change your Apple Account country or region - Apple Support describes how to change your Apple ID country or region, and the requirements and results of doing this.


You should be able to resolve this by adding a Malaysian payment method billed to you at your old address in Malaysia. You will probably find that a Pakistan payment method will not be accepted for an account set to Malaysia.


Unless you can resolve this online you will find it very difficult to get resolution to this. Apple does not provide telephone support for users in a different country from that to which their accounts are set. Hopefully Malaysia provides online chat support. Refer to this page for Apple Support features ➔ Contact - Official Apple Support

Select from the presented options until you find a solution for your issue, or see if there is a chat or phone call contact method offered lower on the page (you sometimes have to narrow down the options multiple times before this is shown). If you do not see your issue, keep experimenting with any series of selections until you reach one that offers a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.
