Now live · launching at SF Tech Week

Malaysia's talent,
connected worldwide.

Global Malaysians is the network linking the Malaysian diaspora across the world's great innovation hubs — to each other, to students back home, and to Malaysia's future. Starting in the San Francisco Bay Area.

An initiative by NAMSA — built by the diaspora, for the diaspora.
The network

The most valuable pool of Malaysian talent in the world, finally connected.

Malaysians sit at the frontier of Big Tech, AI labs, venture capital, and biotech — but for years the community lived in scattered WhatsApp groups and one-off alumni dinners. Global Malaysians is the infrastructure that turns it into a network with memory, reach, and a way home.

Pillar 01

A living directory

A searchable, frictionless directory of Malaysian professionals and students — by industry, company, and expertise. Find a mentor, a co-founder, or a first job. Opt-in, privacy-first, no heavy sign-up.

Pillar 02

Full-spectrum programming

Speaker series, AI show-and-tells, mixers, and structured mentor matching — a steady rhythm of gathering that goes far beyond the once-a-year career fair.

Pillar 03

The Malaysia connection

Channelling knowledge, capital, and networks home — reverse mentorship for Malaysian founders and GLCs, warm FDI introductions, and a real pathway back through the Returning Expert Programme.

Across the AI revolution

Global Malaysians are already at the frontier.

The people shaping the AI and semiconductor era are already Malaysian. Hock Tan runs Broadcom. Lip-Bu Tan runs Intel. KS Pua built Phison and helped give the world the USB flash drive. And a new generation is forming right now — in communities like Malaysian.ai and NAMSA's campus network. Global Malaysians connects the nodes.
