There were still small number of them living there and Chinese gave them money and asked them relocate to top of the mountains instead of killing them like what Angmoh did in North and South America, these people are now called mountain people, 高山族。
The purest "Malay" genes should be from Taiwan n Yunan imo.
Some of them were exterminated by the Japanese when the former rebelled against them.
Those in SE Asia are a mixed of the Taiwan aborigines with the original SE Asian inhabitants who have darker skin (eg the Negritos in Malaysia).
And there were less mixing in Irian Jaya/PNG thus the population there are predominantly black.
