Either new parts or half cut or OEM from Taobao.
There are a lot of JDM half cut in Malaysia. Estima is quite a common car here and people are still importing them today.

There reason why there are a lot of Toyota parts is because they use the same parts across multiple model and Toyota dont very often come out with new technology. Most of their stuff are still 10-20 year old technology and just keep using it.

Only recently when they switch to TNGA and Dynamic Force Engine, parts will be significantly different.

Other than that, the current Estima is still on an older platform and technology that is 20 years ago. Nothing wrong with that, it is proven to be reliable.
