In 1965 Chinese, indian and borneo natives (1.6 mil) make up close to 56% of Malaysia population of 10 million. The non malay population reduced by 1.5 mil once Singapore left the federation.
72 malay
30 chinese
2 indian
15 sg
24 sarawak
16 sabah
Technically for 159 seats malays will not be majority. however after singapore pull out of malaysia in 1965 there were 144 seats
72 malay
30 chinese
2 indian
24 sarawak
16 sabah
Thus from this point onwards malay has already form the majority by 1969 to 1974. Roughly speaking non malay will not form more than 36% of the total seats.
If we look in 2015, Malaysia population 30 million (15.5 mil Malay, 6.5 mil chinese, 2 mil indian) and Singapore is about 3.5 mil citizens. In this regard Malay vs Non Malay is about the same.
