As of my last update in January 2022, I don’t have access to specific data from the 2020 Malaysian population census. However, the most recent census prior to that was conducted in 2010, when Malaysia’s population was around 28.3 million. For the latest population figures and demographic information, it’s best to refer to the Department of Statistics Malaysia or other official sources for the 2020 census data.
The total population of Malaysia in 2020 was 32.4 million compared to 27.5 million in 2010, MyCensus 2020 Report revealed. Total households in Malaysia was 8.2 million in 2020, up 1.9 million or 2.6% growth from 6.35 million or 2.9% growth in 2010. Of the total 8.2 million households, 97.3% were private households.
According to the most recent census in 2020, 63.5 percent of the population practices Islam; 18.7 percent, Buddhism; 9.1 percent, Christianity; 6.1 percent, Hinduism; 9 percent, other religious groups that include animists, Confucianists, Taoists, Sikhs, Jehovah’s Witnesses.
