It seems that babel doesn't have support for Malay so this won't help.
I provided a solution for the original question in another mail.
However you should know that lyx >= 1.1.5 does have full babel support,
including multi-lingual documents: You select the main language in
layout->document->language, and you can change a paragraph/sentence to a
different language using layout->character->language.
LyX will automatically generate the necessary \selectlanguage commands and the
\usepackage{babel} command.
