I really don't think that's a Savannah nor a Bengal. They look like actual domestic cats, but are big and have very wild tendencies because of the wild cat in them, depending on the generation. This one looks straight up like a wild cat. Being able to buy it doesn't necessarily mean there was licensing involved.
I'm sorry I'm not much more help, but I am not familiar with the animal authorities. Do we know if they are Malaysian?

You should come back to Malaysia more often. Yes, they are Malaysian. That guy almost a celebrity.

I didn't watch the video but wild animal will always be wild & will not have "normal" connection with their owner like "normal" cats. The only way to have good connection if you adopt it since it still a baby.
That's how my suspicion arose when I read an article stating that it's a Savannah. It looks more like a jungle cat of sorts. Yes, he's Malaysian & about the licensing confuses me even more because he never really revealed details of the information online. I'm just really surprised how the fact that he has this animal has gone viral on social media yet no authorities are alerted.
His latest video is of him bringing the "pet" to his product event. Apparently it's for show and tell. Lord I hope the animal doesn't feel cornered and distressed by all the noise & photo taking. Since it's wild it might resort to pawing (or clawing more like) and hurting people unintentionally.
