Malaysia is home to a significant number of Bangladeshi migrant workers, who play an important role in the country's economy. These workers are especially prominent in industries such as construction, agriculture, and manufacturing. As a result, Malaysia has become a focal point for the Bangladeshi diaspora, with substantial communities in cities like [[Kuala Lumpur]], [[Johor Bahru]], and [[Penang]].

=== Economic and Cultural Impact ===
The Bangladeshi diaspora in Malaysia contributes significantly to both the Malaysian economy and the socio-cultural fabric of the country. Bangladeshi workers have introduced elements of their culture, including food, language, and festivals, while also sending significant remittances back to Bangladesh. These remittances support families in Bangladesh and contribute to the country's overall economy.
== Reception ==
The reception of the term "Malaydesh" is mixed. Some view it as a humorous and light-hearted reference to the close relationship between Malaysia and Bangladesh, while others use it to critique the reliance on migrant labor and the conditions faced by workers in Malaysia.
