Malaysian Jews are Jews living in Malaysia, whether immigrants or those originally from the country. The state of Penang was once home to a Jewish community, until the latter part of the 1970s, by which time most had emigrated due to growing state-sanctioned antisemitism. Indications of the growing racial and religious hostility in the nation in response to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict has caused many Malaysian Jews to leave or flee the country.[1] The Malaysian Jewish community consists of Jews of Sephardic origin who live discreetly amongst the Kristang people (Malacca-Portuguese),[2][3] Mizrahi Jews (the majority of whom are Baghdadi Jews), Malabar Jews, and Ashkenazi Jews.[4]
