In 2022, there were approximately 123.56 thousand refugees and 34.6 thousand asylum-seekers from Myanmar in Malaysia. The majority of refugees and asylum-seekers from Myanmar in Malaysia were the Rohingyas. Malaysia however, has maintained a tough stance against refugees and asylum-seekers from Myanmar, and regularly turned away boats with displaced Rohingyas in its waters.
