Not to be confused with Malays (ethnic group).
Overseas Malays refers to individuals with Malay race ancestry (inc. Javanese, Minangkabau, Baweanese, Bugis, Batak, Banjarese, Acehnese and even Orang Laut[1][2]) living outside of Indonesia,[3] Malaysia and Brunei. Singapore,[4] parts of Myanmar, East Timor, the Philippines and Southern Thailand[5] are not considered to be Malay countries at present time, due to geopolitical reasons. Albeit being an overseas community, this does not change the fact that they are still a part of the Malay archipelago, and share common ancestral and historical ties together.
