The Malay diaspora consists of Malay people who live outside of their native homeland of Malaysia, Indonesia & Brunei. These countries are known to be areas of where the Malay Diasporas originally came from. Singapore and Parts of Southern Thailand also belongs to the Malay Peninsular, as they share historical ties and migration patterns with these three countries. Originally, the Malay ethnic group are thought to have started in Borneo, stretching out to Eastern Sumatra, before expanding into modern day Malaysia and Singapore.
