Squaresoft Enix should take a geography lesson?

I was invited for Final Fantasy 14 Beta test from Square Enix. was on my way to it, but run into a small "bump". I was asked to register my country of residence. So I searched HIGH AND LOW FOR "MALAYSIA" in Europe & Other Region.
(Note: There was 3 more categories
1) Europe & The Middle East
2) Africa
3) Oceania & Other Regions)
Since Malaysia does not belong in the category (1) and (2), category (3) should be the correct choice.

But HELL NO, there was no Malaysia and there wasn't even our closest neighbor, Singapore, not even Thailand or Indonesia.?

WTF?!@# Square Enix staff are either ignorant or they were just plain stupid to leave out countries like us.

According to the system, there is no way to change country of residence once I made the confirmation. So? what did I do? I emailed them 2 days ago, I still did not receive any reply regarding this. YOU TELL ME, SQUARESOFT ENIX. Should I still be excited about Final Fantasy XIV?!!


UPDATE:
I just checked the SQUARESOFT got my question answered.

Why is my country of residence not listed?

The list of countries provided are the countries that the Square Enix Account service is currently available in. If your country is not listed, then you will be unable to complete the Square Enix Account registration process.


Check the screenshot below to prove that I'm not lying.



WHAT THE HELL?! Isn't very discriminating to those people who are stayed outside Square Enix Account "coverage"?So, Squaresoft Enix, my opinion doesn't matter now?

I say let's all Singaporean, Malaysians, Indonesians gamers should rally up and boycott Squaresoft Enix games. [but I don't feel like boycotting Deus Ex : Human Revolution :( ]

Squaresoft Enix, if you're reading THIS. PLEASE JUST PUT THE GOD DAMN SQUARESOFT ENIX ACCOUNT in our COUNTRY or WHATEVER. JUST LET US PLAY FINAL FANTAST XIV BETA OK?!
