Sri Lankans in Malaysia
The Sri Lankan Malaysians consists of people of full or partial Sri Lankan descent who were born in or immigrated to Malaysia.
==History==
The Ceylonese (mostly Tamils with smaller numbers of Sinhalese and Burghers) started arriving in Malaya with the advent of the 19th Century. They were sought after by the British to assist in the administration of the British Government of Malaya.〔"(An Introduction to the Malaysian Ceylonese Community and the Malaysian Ceylonese Congress )", ''penangstory.net''.〕 The British offered them readily available appointments in its service as it was not the practice of the British Government to employ persons direct from England. Instead they advertised vacancies in its service in prominent dailies of Ceylon inviting suitable applicants to apply for the posts.
After the Pangkor Treaty of 1874, the British embarked upon the construction of roads, railways, schools, hospitals and government offices in the Malay Peninsula, to develop the country and to increase its revenue and the Ceylonese were brought to survey the railways and to build and man them, to be apothecaries in the hospitals, to be technical assistants to qualified engineers and to staff the clerical services on which an expanding government was bound increasingly to depend.
With the establishment of the Federated Malay States, a large number of clerks, surveyors, hospital assistants, teachers and technical assistants from Ceylon began to arrive.
