Mereka melawat New Zealand kerana kekurangan tempat di dalam   universiti-universiti tempatan. Biasanya, orang Melayu datang menggunakan biasiswa often came Pelan  Colombo.

To support these newcomers, the Malaysian–Singapore Students Association was formed at the University of Otago in 1963. Universities in other centres also set up associations. By the late 1960s there were hundreds of Malays students throughout New Zealand. For most students there was little time for activities outside study, but some excelled at sports such as badminton. After completing their education they returned home.

Racial riots in Malaysia in 1969 encouraged even more students to seek an education in New Zealand. Following the riots, Malaysia introduced affirmative action policies to help the Bumiputra (Malays and indigenous people) achieve economic equality with the wealthier Chinese.

By the mid-1970s Malaysians formed a major proportion of overseas students at New Zealand universities. They were particularly visible in their distinctive black songkok (headdress). In 1977 the government introduced a quota of 300 new Malaysian university students per year, and a substantial fee was imposed on all overseas students three years later. In response, the New Zealand Union of Malaysian Students was formed to lobby for the interests of overseas students.
