Per G. Malm
Swedish Mormon leader (1948–2016)
Per Gösta Malm (12 September 1948 – 26 July 2016) was a general authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) from 2010 until his death. Malm was the first general authority who was a resident of Sweden at the time of his call.
Malm was raised by Latter-day Saint parents. His father had read the Book of Mormon and then told the missionaries he was meeting with that he wanted to be baptized. Malm first met his wife, Ingrid Agneta Karlsson, at a campground while their families were traveling to the Swiss Temple. They were later married in the Swiss Temple and are the parents of eight children.
At age 16, Malm was called as a construction missionary for the LDS Church. He worked as a bricklayer on buildings in Sweden, Finland, Germany, and the Netherlands. After serving a short time in the Swedish military, Malm served as a regular missionary in the church's Sweden Stockholm Mission.
Malm earned degrees in business and public law from the University of Gothenburg and a Swedish law degree (LLM) from the University of Lund.

“Per G. Malm” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Malm, Swedish and Mormon provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7166686. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1948, 2016 and 2010.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
