From Ancient Times To Modern Days: A Brief History Of Indian Migration To Malaysia

Malaysian Indians are people with full or partial Indian descent, who were either born in Malaysia or have gained Malaysian citizenship. They can be considered as Person of Indian Origin (PIO) - people who are not citizens of India but have Indian ancestry, and are citizens of other countries.

Malaysia is the third country in the world with the largest population of overseas Indians. There are more than two million Indians living here currently, with some 200,000 Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who are currently working and residing in Malaysia, concentrated in the IT industry.
