Malaysian Britons are Malaysian immigrants to the United Kingdom, or British born people of Malaysian descent. The Malaysian British community bears a similar trend to the British Chinese and Singaporean British communities in terms of population spread and culture. The Malaysian community in the UK is one of the west's largest, this is mainly due to the influence of the British Empire on Malaysia.
