Malaysia

I'm sorry but I believe that is incorrect inhabitants of Malaysia are known as Malaysian.

Malays do not come from a specific country. Malays form an ethnic group, part of which live in Malaysia but also Thailand or Indonesia.

Basically the Malay Peninsula and the Malay Archipelago. Malays are called "Melayu" in the Malay language. BY COUNTRY Ethnic Malays, make up a majority of Malaysia and Brunei's populations.

Malays also make up a large population in Singapore, a country south of Peninsular Malaysia that is even smaller than Brunei. Brunei and Singapore are perhaps, Southeast Asia's smallest countries and both have big ethnic Malay populations. Malay is even an official language in Singapore.
