- Second Wave
- The second wave was caused by the
massacre in Fujian in 1651-52 when the
Manchus took over China. The Fujian
refugees of Zhangzhou resettled on the
northern part of the Malay peninsula while
those of Amoy and Quanzhou resettled on
the southern part of the peninsula. This

- Third Wave
- Chinese immigrants, mainly from the controlled ports of Fujian and Guangdong provinces, were
attracted by the prospect of work in the tin mines, rubber plantations or the possibility of
opening up new farmlands at the beginning of the 19th century until the 1930s in British
Malaya. Between the period of 1927-1949, some Republic of China citizens were forced to
emigrate because of insecurity, lack of food and lack of business opportunity due to the Chinese
Civil War. Some Nationalist refugees also fled to Singapore, Sarawak, North Borneo and Malaya
after the Nationalists lost the civil war to avoid persecution or execution by the Communist
party of China. This wave from the Qing dynasty and Republic of China period represented the
largest wave. Their immigration to Malaya and Straits Settlements was encouraged by the
British. This group was responsible for establishing the many Chinese-medium schools in
Malaya and are mostly Chinese-educated.

China. These were mostly foreign spouses married to
Malaysian Chinese. Some national sports coaches

repeated rejections of their citizenship applications.
