Malay, officially the Municipality of Malay (Aklanon: Banwa it Malay; Hiligaynon: Banwa sang Malay; Filipino: Bayan ng Malay), is a municipality in the province of Aklan in the Western Visayas (Region VI) of the Philippines. The population was 52,973 at the 2015 census. In the 2016 electoral roll, it had 33,813 registered voters.
The resort island of Boracay is part of the municipality.
The municipality of Malay was created in the province of Capiz on June 15, 1949, from the barrio of Malay and surrounding barrios which were then part of Buruanga. The new municipality then included the following barrios: Malay (poblacion, seat of local government), Dumlog, Cabulihan, Balusbos, Nabaoy, Cubay Norte, Cubay Sur, Cogon, Argao, Sambiray, Caticlan, Manoc-Manoc, Balabag, Yapak, Motag, Napaan, and Naasog. On April 25, 1956, Malay became a municipality of the newly created province of Aklan, along with several other towns of Capiz.
It was hit severely by typhoon Seniang on 9–10 December 2006, with much destruction and damage of homes and infrastructure.
"Resolution no. 066, series of 2010" created an ad hoc Committee and Technical Working Group to conduct initial study and evaluation for the proposed cityhood of the Municipality of Malay, Aklan.
Malay is located at 11°54′N 121°55′E / 11.9°N 121.92°E.
