A guy selling second hand Wharfedale diamond 121 bookshelf speaker for RM880. Original price RM1088. 
Q ACOUSTICS 3020 BOOKSHELF SPEAKER - RM1399 (NEW)
Any recommendation for center channel speaker?
The Wharfedale Diamond 121 at RM880 is a pretty price I think. Depends which you like better, to be honest I prefer the QA3020 over any Wharfedale in the same price range because the QA3020 does not dull the highs as much as the Wharfedales. The only Wharfedales I like now a days are the Jades, that's my 2 cents. That said, try and go demo the QA3020 first. You may or may not like it at the end of the day.Q ACOUSTICS 3020 BOOKSHELF SPEAKER - RM1399 (NEW)
Any recommendation for center channel speaker?
As for center, you can go with the same QA3090 center? It's a general MTM design though so try to avoid having very wide sitting areas off axis.

And obviously needs speaker as well thinking on 5.1 would do since the room is small

yup...he set around 20K i think...since the room is small, dont want overkill as well..lol...its like getting a Porsche and driving 2km weekend
RM20k is a pretty healthy budget as long as the projector is 1080p. In a room that size, 7.1.4 may be a challenge. But IMO, if your cousin is up for 5.1.4 that will absolutely be the way to go if Atmos/DTSX is an interest for him.
x2300w is nice, but keep in mind it only has 7 channels of processing so if your cousin is up for 9 channels, then this receiver is a no go. But if 5.1.4 isn't a consideration, then the x2300w is a decent receiver.
However, my suggestion would be to go for the Marantz SR5011 instead as it is the same price as the x2300w but offers pre-outs of which can always be useful in the future if your cousin decides to add hard to drive speakers for his front LCRs. External amps can then be used instead of throwing the entire x2300w away.
For sub, definitely look for an SVS or PSA sub. The latter is kind of overpriced in Malaysia, but it beats SVS subs handedly. Ported is preferred for max output but if space is a concern, then sealed is the way to go.
There is no such thing as "overkill" in audio. There comes a point where you can play at a low volume yet hear all the intricacies in a content, enjoy it as a whole. The saying is that if you get very expensive speakers and only play at a low volume is "overkill" is a common misonception with people who associates everything to cars. Speakers are not cars, not even remotely similar.
