The Malay Archipelago consists of the modern day countries of Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and East Timor. This is where people got the concept of Malay as a race (Malays are also an ethnic group). Although, Malay as a race is being an outdated term.

So the Malay Archipelago is located in Asia, Southeast Asia. Before, the entire region was called "Malaysia" (combination of Malay and Asia).
