Migration history

As of 2011, there were approximately 60,000 Iranians studying or working. They have shares on 2,000 Malaysian businesses and occupy about 15,000 spots in Malaysian universities.[3] [4] Naturalisation is uncommon; as Christoph Marcinowski of the Middle East Institute observed, "it is very difficult for any foreign-born national, including Iranians, to obtain Malaysian citizenship".[1]
