Malaysia is a Southeast Asian country. There is diversity of different cultures and languages in this country. Malaysia is an economic powerhouse in the region, with revenues generated from crude oil, rubber, and palm oil. They are also the region’s top supplier of hardwoods. Malaysia was in the headlines over the abduction and disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh a few years ago. It was a probe by the subsequent government which concluded that the disappearance was state-sponsored.

Over the next few years, the Malaysian government has toned down the calls for persecution against Christian Believers. This reduction in persecution levels does not include new Christian Believers who converted from Islam. There are laws against such conversions. The persecution is not limited to intimidation or discrimination. Although Open Doors dropped Malaysia from the Persecuted Country List for 2025, persecution of Christian Believers persists.
