isMobilePhone accept invalid phone numbers

[ValeriyaZavozova]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

isMobilePhone successfully validates invalid numbers (see examples below).
I suppose the problem is in the next regular expressions:
'ro-RO': /^(\+?4?0)\s?7\d{2}(\/|\s|\.|\-)?\d{3}(\s|\.|\-)?\d{3}$/,
'ms-MY': /^(\+?6?01){1}(([0145]{1}(\-|\s)?\d{7,8})|([236789]{1}(\s|\-)?\d{7}))$/,

Examples
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

The next numbers will be accepted as valid even though the are not:
+0711419752
+0765351689
+0111419752

Additional context
Validator.js version: 13.7.0
Node.js version: v18.9.1
OS platform: [windows, linux, macOS, etc] macOS

@ValeriyaZavozova - the above bug is for ro-RO locale (i.e Romania) and ms-MY locale (i.e Malaysia)?

@meeraj257 I found only this two cases

[VarnikaB]

Could anyone verify if - 01468987837 is valid
and are these 088387675, 16-2838768 invalid? for ms-my

@VarnikaB I researched a little on Malaysian telephony on the relevant Wikipedia page. From what I gathered from my research, here's what I can conclude about those numbers.

088387675 is an east Malaysian landline number; it is not a mobile phone number. In the area code, the first digit, ignoring the leading zero, is eight, but it must be one. (Also, if we wanted to convert this into a mobile number, the successor number needs one more digit, but that's not the main point I want to emphasize here.)

01468987837 is invalid. This number has an extra digit in the sequence of digits after the area code (014). There should only be seven digits (in this case) after the area code, not eight.

16-2838768 is an invalid number. It does not start with the number zero.

FWIW: I can confirm that the numbers return "true" with isMobilePhone:

+0711419752
+0765351689
+0111419752

that last one is similarly also reported here: #1066

both are caused by the regexp optionally matching the country code and allowing numbers to also start with 0
I'll take a stab at fixing these in the current version this evening.

For a more future proof solution, there also is a discussion going on here #2124

[pano9000]

that +0111419752 will be fixed with PR #2155

will now also take a look at those issues caused by the Romanian Regexp

[pano9000]

+0711419752
+0765351689

those types of numbers will be fixed by #2156
