Malaysia is both a sending and destination country of international migrants. To date, the data collection activities of government agencies are focused more on recording immigration rather than emigration. The Department of Immigration is the main source of data on the different categories of international migrants to the country, and the Census is the primary source of information on non-Malaysians. The recording and reporting of data on refugees, unauthorized migration and return migration have yet to develop into regular activities. The formation of a Working Committee comprising the Department of Immigration, the Employees' Provident Fund, the Ministry of Human Resources, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Home Affairs can be helpful in coordinating the collection and processing of international migration data.

Former Secretary-General of Malaysia's Transport Ministry and Former President of Transparency International Malaysia, Ramon Navaratnam speaks his mind. An outspoken critic of Malaysian politics and society, Mr Navaratnam feels that it is his duty to speak up and tell the truth. He shares his thoughts with DNA over the merger and separation of Malaysia and Singapore, as well as his frank assessment of the two countries' pioneer Prime Ministers, Tunku Abdul Rahman and Lee Kuan Yew.

The year 2014 saw four significant developments in Malaysia: the mishandling of the missing flight MH 370 jetliner; rejection of the use of the term "Allah" in a Malay-language Christian publication; an anti-sedition blitz; and the resignation of the Selangor chief minister. However, Malaysia managed its foreign and economic affairs reasonably well.

The most important event to take place in Malaysia during 2013 was its general election. The incumbent National Front government was returned to power, though with less than a majority of the popular vote. The government then rewarded Malay supporters with new affirmative action programs. It also repulsed an armed incursion into Sabah launched from the southern Philippines.

The Najib government continued to consolidate its political hold on Malaysia in 2017. Various factors, including a moderately improved economic situation and a relatively generous 2018 budget, suggested that it had good prospects for winning the next election, to be held at the latest in August 2018. Beyond party politics, however, there were indications of deep change taking place in Malaysian society—deep enough to raise questions about the nation's identity.
