text: # List of Catholic dioceses in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei
  
  The Catholic Church in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei (its two small Malay neighbors) is composed of a Latin (Roman Rite) hierarchy, joint in the transnational Episcopal Conference of Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei, consisting of
  
  * three ecclesiastical provinces in Malaysia, each headed by a Metropolitan archdiocese, with two suffragan dioceses each.
  * two exempt jurisdictions, one for each small neighbor : a non-Metropolitan archdiocese for Singapore and a pre-diocesan Apostolic Vicariate for Brunei.
  
  There are no Eastern Catholic jurisdictions.
  
  There is an Apostolic Nunciature to Malaysia as papal diplomatic representation (embassy-level) in the national capital Kuala Lumpur. In it the Apostolic Delegation (lower level) to Brunei is also vested. There is a separate Apostolic Nunciature to Singapore (in the capital of the same name), into which are vested the Non-Residential Pontifical Representation for Vietnam and Apostolic Nunciature to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN, which all abovementioned states belong to, with others in the region).
