International student applying for a Hong Kong university?

Hello!

I'm from Malaysia, and I plan on doing an undergraduate degree in mathematics/physics. How hard is it to get into good universities in Hong Kong?
And as a Malaysian, would it be okay if I took the SPM (local equivalent of the GCSE) and the GCE A-Levels afterwards?
I have good results, and I'm very active in extra-curriculars, but I heard that it's extremely hard for international students to be selected. Is this true?
One last question: How much does it generally cost to complete a four-year undergraduate degree in Hong Kong (tuition fees+living expenses+everything else)? After digging around on the internet, the deviation of the numbers I've come to is quite large - from about 10,000 USD per year to 35,000 USD. Different sources give very different information, I'm confused.

I hope my questions will be answered, and thank you!
