So... I solved the problem 
The whole issue is nothing to do with exhaust or aircon, but related to burning plastic and wire.
The third-brake light was burning up, the housing has a big chunk melted off. Which explains why the burning smell only happens when idle and accelerate (foot on brake)
This issue is truly bodoh tahap gaban.
To anyone having weird smells in their cabin next time, do check the brakelights as well
Case closed, thank you everyone for their contribution

I was having the same issue for several days now, thought it was an AC problem at first, replaced cabin air filter, intake air filter, sprayed the AC with those AC cleaner thingy but to no avail.
Was about to send it to a professional before coming across your post, about the exact same car having the exact same issue.
And turns out, it indeed a burnt 3rd brake light, the entire housing is melted, connecter and bulb are blacker than my burnt roti canai.
Now I know what the actual problem is, I can finally fix it on my own.
