The Malaysian population census on 2010 showed that 2.5 millions above the age of 25 were unmarried. They were either never married, divorced or widows.
The statistics show that out of 2.5million, 64.4 were men and 35.6% were women. The average marrying age for men were 28 and for women was 25.
A further survey by the ministry showed that 32% of the respondents were never married, the majority of whom are men (56%) and women (44%).
Among the reasons quoted for not marrying are:
a. They have not met any suitable candidates (19%)
b. Career commitment (13%)
c. Family Commitment (7%)
Currently, there are a number of private agencies that operate the match making companies. The situation for Malaysian are still under control, as the population is still growing, unlike some other nation like Singapore.
