[Are you sure that Malaysians of different races always fall back to Bahasa Melayu?
It seems that a good number of Malaysians prefer English to speak with each other. ]

That's quite true. Even some of the Malay themselves prefer to do that. And it's not uncommon to hear them speak Rojak Malay like "I beritahu you".

LOL! Is rojak = rujak? The mix of fruits with some (peanut) sauce?

So Rojak is called Rujak in Indonesian. ;)

In Malaysia, is "buat" also used in the meaning of "untuk"?

So "buat dia" = "untuk dia"?
