The majority of Chinese people in Malaysia live along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia as well as in the main towns in Sabah and Sarawak.

They form at least 30% or more of the inhabitants of many major towns in Kedah, Perak, Selangor and Johor, and are the majority in Penang and Kuala Lumpur. 

The towns in Perak with a significant Chinese population includes Ipoh, Taiping, Batu Gajah and Setiawan.

In Johor, there is a significant percentage of Chinese in Johor Bahru, Kluang, Batu Pahat, Muar and Segamat.
