What can you advise him?

Answer 1

Ask to send it by mail to Malaysia (unless, of course, there is such an opportunity) - they practically do not find fault there.
Otherwise, if the matter is in the batteries (I will assume that there are 18650), you can send the flashlight without them in order to avoid problems. The batteries themselves - order through Malaysia on fasttech

Answer 2

without a flashlight? With batteries, they have big problems at customs. I don't know if the ban has been lifted.
