Actually the true story is that long ago Michelle Yeoh showed her forefinger to display support for the Malay ruling party called BN that is unfair to the Chinese in Malaysia. Then the opposition DAP party(where the majority members are of Chinese ethnicity) and the other Malays who are more rational called her a traitor ever since then. So if this Malay called her a traitor then he is actually siding with the DAP.
(Wait. Now I'm confused. Where exactly is the Malay who is calling her a traitor? The guy in the second video was talking nothing but good things about her. Unless the thread starter was just joking by mistranslating him like in one of those non-serious threads.)
