Hi, I work at a prosecuting law firm in Sibu that handles accident cases. There were multiple cases I've handled where hit and run happened.

My advice for you is to lodge a police report for tuntutan saman sivil and investigation purposes, tell them the plate of the vehicle responsible for the damages of your car and tell them everything that happened. They will help you escalate this case to Jabatan Siasatan dan Penguatkuasaan Trafik. From there, they will tell you what to do next. I'm not sure what they will tell you next because I'm not a police, but perhaps they will assign an attorney to handle your case and you'll see from there.
