BTEC Level 3 and HND Level 4 to CS Degree in Malaysia - Math requirement advice needed

general question

Hey everyone, looking for some advice from people who know about Malaysian uni admissions. I finished a Pearson BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma and I am currently finishing a Level 4 HND in Computer Science. My BTEC did not have any math modules like calculus or statistics, and I know CS programs in Malaysia can be strict about that.

I have a few questions: Do private unis like APU, SEGi, or HELP accept BTEC Level 3 for direct entry without those math modules? Would my Level 4 HND transcript be useful for a credit transfer into Year 2? How serious is the math requirement—can I just do a bridging course? And if anyone else got in without a math background, how are you surviving the workload?

Appreciate any help or info. Thanks.
