Malaysia first competed at the Deaflympics for the first time in 1993. Since then, Malaysia has competed at the Summer Deaflympics on four occasions (2001, 2005, 2009 & 2017). Malaysia won its first Deaflympic medal also during its maiden appearance at the 1993 Summer Deaflympics.[1] Malaysia also narrowly missed the opportunity to compete at the 2013 Summer Deaflympics after being not readied to take part at the event.[2]
Prior to the 2017 Summer Deaflympics, Malaysian government announced that the medallists at the Summer Deaflympics would be rewarded.[3][4]
Malaysia have never competed at the Winter Deaflympics.
