it seems like they taxed you at a rate of 20% on the total cost [item+freight+insurance].i need help as i got 1 item shipped out from japan (mandrake) to malaysia using DHL shipping and now kena crazy high import tax as u can see my figure value is around only RM211 but charge me crazy high tax RM157 is really crazy and so is it possible to avoid this totally?

the RM50 disbursement fee is charged by DHL to facilitate the release of the item.
As for the calculation, your shipment was done by way of CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight), so usually custom will tax % based on the total cost, so that is correct. as for the import duties for toys is currently 20%, so I think the custom calculation is correct. Here's the rate if you wanna take a look:

as for avoiding payment, if you want you item you have to pay DHL :-/
