4 weeks: Ultimately it will depend on the rules in Malaysia. Most countries will allow you to donate blood again 4 weeks after you have completely recovered.

Your blood is fine n: The Dengue infection is cleared by the immune system of our body and it takes place quite fast , within one to 2 weeks as evidenced by appearance of antibodies against the virus. So you should be able to give blood sometime soon after you are feeling back to normal like 2-3 weeks after the infection related symptoms of Fatigue and fever have resolved.

American Red Cross: recommends deferring blood donations for 6 months if you have had Dengue Fever. “In most countries, donors who have been infected with dengue virus are deferred for periods of up to 6 months or even longer if they have received blood transfusions.” REF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2713854/ REF: http://www.americanredcrossblood.org/faq.html
