Since Orbitz charges you in USD but not MYR, your BRG must fail. In other words, you must find a website quoting and booking the room in MYR for BRG. It is the hard part to do if the hotel currency is not a worldwide used currency like USD and EUR.
You're right, that was me being in a hurry and not seeing the switchback. Edited to use hotels.com where you can select MYR for matching currency. Thanks.
