Well with a bit more persistent searching I did find this information on a third-party website, so I don't think it's official:

It seems that you will be fine and the embassy/consulate is open in August 2013. According to the official website of Chinese embassy in Malaysia:

PLEASE BE KINDLY INFORMED THAT THE CONSULAR SECTION OF THE CHINESE EMBASSY WILL BE CLOSED DURING THE FOLLOWING CHINESE HOLIDAYS.

New Year’s Day January 1-3

Spring Festival February 9-15

Qingming Festival April 4-6

Int'l Labor Day April 29 - May 1

Dragon Boat Festival June 10-12

Mid-autumn Festival September 19-21

National Day October 1-7

I still think this information is missing the national holidays for Malaysia. Usually embassies respect the host countries and stop working on the host's country holidays. So I think they won't be working on August (7-9) depending on the end of the lunar month of Ramadan.

For future reference for the coming years.
