Hmm, let’s do it country by country
Australia
Marriageable age: 18, 16 with permission from a court and both parents (only granted in exceptional circumstances) – Commonwealth Marriage Act 1961 s.10-21.
Malaysia
Marriageable age: 21, 18 with parental consent, 16 for females with special marriage license.
The age of consent for sex in Malaysia is 16 for both males and females.

Singapore
Marriageable age: 21, 18 with parental consent, below 18 with special marriage license.
The age of consent in Singapore is 16 for all opposite-sex activity and only female same-sex sexual activity. Under section 377A (outrages on decency) in the Penal Code states that; Any male person who, in public or private, commits, or abets the commission of, or procures or attempts to procure the commission by any male person of, any act of gross indecency with another male person, shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to 2 years. Which means all male same-sex sexual activity (including mutual masturbation, oral and/or anal sex) is still illegal and the punishment is up to two (2) years jail, hardly ever enforced upon.
Putting this aside, i loaded the Interpol site and started searching
