I am trying to take a week off from work overseas to fly back to Malaysia Jabatan to change my name on my passport and IC.

(The reason I want to use it is that my Chinese name has changed.)

May I know if one week is enough time for making this process and getting a new passport?

A week should be sufficient. Note that you need a statutory declaration for changing your legal name. So it's a 3-step process involving 3 departments, with one day each at the quickest timeframe.
