More or less it will hinder abit lar, but you will be surprice that most people in btm know abit of english (immigration people, taxi driver, foodcourt). Of course, chinese there do speak chinese, teochew or hokkien....and some indon malay cewek also can speak teochew and hokkien.
Try your luck and enjoy your trip if you go btm lah.
(I once get to know a girl (Indon malay girl) only by speaking engish to her, and she insist to sms and talk to me only in english, and refuse to teach me bahasa indonesia, she said that is to revent me from flirting around with other indon cewek, hehehe.)
Cheers and have fun.
