The 2009 edition of the Jelajah Malaysia, scheduled for January 11-18 as a 2.2 category event according to the UCI's Asia calendar, has been postponed. The New Straits Times cited difficulty in securing sponsorship and indicated that the race may be rescheduled for April pending approval from the UCI.
The race was to run over a longer route over eight stages. In contrast, the 2008 event was run in seven stages from January 7 - 13.
