This is a SCAM. This is one of the Nigerian scam...
Do not send money, tell him to contact the Australian Embassy in Malaysia for help.
Check full header of emails he sent you, you will find those were send from IP address in some country in Africa.

The term "allowance" is a clue that this is wrong. How can an "allowance" be required, unless its given by the Malaysian government? scam.
