Sign languages which predate BIM in Malaysia are Penang Sign (PSL) and Selangor Sign (Kuala Lumpur Sign, SSL or KLSL).

Kod Tangan Bahasa Malaysia or Manually Coded Malay (KTBM) is another teaching method created by hearing educators and linguists in between 19 and remains the only form of sign recognized by the Malaysian Ministry of Education as a method to teach Malay to deaf students in formal education settings rather than act as an official language. BIM in turn has been the basis for Indonesian Sign Language.

Malaysian Sign Language was created with the establishment of the in 1998, and its use has expanded among deaf leaders and participants. BIM has many dialects, differing from state to state.
