original
Hai, kami akan ke Malaysia minggu depan. Jumpa anda di sana.

corrected
Hai, kami akan pergi ke Malaysia minggu depan. Jumpa kamu(anda) di sana.

"Anda" is very formal, but I don't know the context here. And the english says "malay" ? Mistype I suppose.

This review was found appropriate by 100% of translators.

Definitely a mistype. No such place as Malay, only Malaysia. Malay is a language, an ethnicity, a culture, but never a place. Anda is generally accepted, and can be used in formal and informal situations. The lack of contextual info can be misleading, kamu is suitable as well, so it's down to preference.
