I would prefer the Prince Court Medical Centre in Kuala Lumpur also if it needs some more minutes then to Thalang hospital.

Flying time from HKT to KLIA is 1hr 10 mins. Also, Kuala Lumpur is 28 minutes distant by train from the airport so an ambulance would likely be that much slower.

Bad quality condoms can cause a lot of different problems

All depending on what you put in your condoms and where then push it all in

I do not know if this the case nowbut such things have reportedly occurred before when somone is trying to amugle drugs into a country by putting the drugs into condoms and swallowing them.

If a drug filled condom bursts inside the body the swalower can die quickly.

Not saying this is the case, but just that it can happen.

The 1:10 flight time presumably includes take off and landing. 

Net distance HKT to KLIA is 438 Miles. at a cruising speed of 560 Miles that would be less than 50 minutes extra. not taking any diversion or wind / weather into account.

I would also hope that KL is a bit more organized, i.e. having Helicopter to Hospital etc. 

So, I would also favor schlog's solution.

Unconscious, indeed dead,  passengers don't get a choice of hospitals in an emergency.  This Somalian pax had probably never heard of any of the medical options in the region.

In such a situation the pilot will head for the nearest airport, not the one with the reputedly best medical facilities.

why would he have been taken to downtown KL when there are good hospitals at Putrajaya, very close to KLIA. Or do you think the government of Malaysia who lives there does not want to have proper health care in their City ?
