I would think most likely the ancestors of the original inhabitant of SE Asia -- the Negrotis.
These Negrotis were later displaced by the Malay ancestors who came from Southwest and Southern (including Taiwan) China.

The Black people who are labeled “The Negritos,” are believed to be the earliest inhabitants of Southeast Asia, remnants of the earliest populations from the Out of Africa migration. The term refers to the current populations which include 12 Andamanese peoples of the Andaman Islands, six Semang peoples of Malaysia, the Mani of Thailand, and also the Aeta, Agta, Ati and 30 other peoples of the Philippines.

Neither Malay nor Chinese are locals in Malaysia. Malay people used to live in Yunnan province in China and later migrated to Malaya after First Emperor conquered southern China 2000 years ago.

Rubbish, the malays are actually descendants of Tamil Indians who sail across the ocean to south east Asia
