The GCE-O score for English via SPM/MCE doesn't really matter.
You'd still need to take necessary English proficiency tests for college applications, such as MUET, IELTS, PET or TOEFL.
The GCE-O score for English isn't included in official minimum academic requirements in admissions so officially, it does not matter, but we will not know how much it does unofficially.

I've gotten a 1A on it.
The GCE-O score is based upon just some section of the paper so it is not a good indicator for the entire English paper.
You may be unequally good in that section but not the rest.
1119 is the subject code for SPM English which entitles you to GCE-O scoring on some sections.
Therefore, 1119 English should refer to your SPM grade scale, not the GCE-O.

The lack of knowledge among institutions and prospective employers creates a vagueness or ambiguity which allows smart candidates, like you perhaps, to pitch its usefulness in their favour. It is the manipulative presentation or explanation that can turn the tide of anything in your favour.

It's either that, or they already have an inaccurate representation of the GCE-O score from SPM by extrapolation of their interpretation or exaggeration of past candidates.

Then read carefully on the second part the either.
I am delegate within the national blueprints for education and can tell you that the GCE-0 scoring from 1119 subject code is based upon partial section and does not actually demonstrate the capability any equal to the actual GCE-0.
The agreement with Cambridge International Examinations set an international reputation upon the score which is extrapolated, quite inaccurately, to be a good measure for English proficiency.

And when I brought up manipulative presentation to pull something in your favour, if you are actually proficient in the corporate world, it was a compliment on your street-smart capabilities. I take that back.
And if you read carefully, you can see the highlight placed upon you pitching, as with prospective leaders pitching an idea, but all you can see is manipulative, and even that in a negative view. No, it's unfortunate for you.
