Malaysian Gujaratis (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) are people of full or partial Gujarati descent who were born in, or immigrated to Malaysia. Gujaratis first arrived in Malaya in the 14th century CE, to trade spices with the Sultanate of Malacca.[1] It was until the 19th century, they settled in Malaysia.[2] Most Malaysian Gujaratis work as traders. The Gujaratis were mainly from the ports of Cambay, Kutch and Surat in Gujarat, and settled in urban parts of Malaya, including Georgetown, Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh.[1][3]
