Updated: Disney+ Malaysia has reached out to us to clarify the confusion. They said at present, there is only one plan for consumers in Malaysia who are subscribing directly from Disney+ Hotstar, which is RM54.90 for three months.

It seems that Apple One subscription service is now officially available in Malaysia starting from the price of RM19.90 for the Individual plan, while Family plan will be priced at RM33.90 a month which can be shared up to 5 people.
