When to check this page
Users in Malaysia should consult this page if they observe persistent issues with multiple online services. This includes situations where an application appears broken across various devices, several unrelated applications fail to load simultaneously, payments are consistently declined, or login attempts result in infinite loops. Such widespread symptoms often indicate a broader infrastructure disruption rather than an isolated problem. It is also advisable to check the official status page of the specific service provider experiencing issues, as they typically offer the most immediate and detailed updates regarding their operational status.

FAQ - Malaysia outages
Is the internet down in Malaysia?
This page aims to provide insights into widespread digital service availability, but it does not directly report on the entire internet infrastructure of Malaysia. If multiple key services shown here are experiencing disruptions, it suggests a significant issue affecting many users. However, if only your specific connection is failing while others can access services, the problem is likely with your local internet service provider or home network. This page aggregates signals to help users distinguish between a localised issue and a broader service disruption impacting a large segment of the Malaysian digital ecosystem.
Which cloud regions serve Malaysia?
Major hyperscale cloud providers operate data centres in regions geographically close to or directly within Malaysia to serve the local market and surrounding areas. These include Amazon Web Services (AWS) regions such as Singapore and Jakarta, Microsoft Azure regions like Singapore and East Asia, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions including Singapore and Jakarta. These facilities provide the underlying infrastructure for many online services and applications used by businesses and consumers in Malaysia, influencing factors such as latency and data residency for various digital operations.
Why do apps go down even when my connection works?
Applications can become unavailable even when your home internet connection is stable because many services rely on shared cloud infrastructure. An app might depend on a specific cloud data centre, a third-party payment gateway, or a DNS provider that is experiencing an outage. Your internet connection may be functioning perfectly, but the path to the application's servers could be disrupted further upstream in the digital infrastructure. This means that while you can browse other websites, the specific services you are attempting to use are affected by a disruption external to your local network.
How quickly is this page updated?
GlobalOutageMap employs a continuous ingestion pipeline that collects and processes data from official service status pages, various news feeds, and community reports in real-time. This allows for rapid detection and reporting of potential service disruptions. While we strive to provide the most current information, it is important to note that this page aggregates signals from numerous sources and is not an official declaration of outage by any specific provider. Updates reflect the evolving situation as new information becomes available, aiming to offer an up-to-the-minute overview of known issues.
What should I do during an outage in Malaysia?
During an outage impacting services in Malaysia, it is generally advisable to exercise patience. Avoid attempting workarounds that could exacerbate the issue, such as repeatedly restarting devices or redeploying critical applications, unless specifically instructed by the provider. The most effective course of action is to monitor the official status pages of the affected service providers for updates. This page also provides aggregated information. Once the service provider confirms a resolution, normal operations typically resume automatically when the underlying issue has been addressed. Focus on monitoring for official updates rather than attempting technical fixes yourself.
