Malaysia mortality rate and its causes

In 2024. Malaysia recorded 34.1 million population, an increase of 1.9% compared to the previous year. This figure is contributed by both citizens and noncitizens. In general, citizens can be categorized as Malay bumiputera, other bumiputra, like those from Sabah and Sarawak, and indigenous people in Semenanjung. Two of the biggest non bumiputra ethnicities are Indian and Chinese, while non-citizens are mostly made up of foreign workers, expatriates, refugees or asylum seekers, and foreign students. It is important to note that the population does not count temporary citizens, who are the people that stay in Malaysia legally for a short stay, often under specific visas and permits.
