I can only speak for Malaysia. So here's the news from last year census:

https://www.bernama.com/en/news.php?id=2297508#%3A%7E%3Atext=He+said+the+country%27s+male%2C100+females%2C%E2%80%9D+he+said.

In general, for citizen it's 103:100 male/female ratio, it's only when added the whole population, including permanent resident and immigrant, the ratio skewed to 111:100, because there's more immigrant men coming in to work as blue collar than women. There's no widespread infanticide happening as far as i can tell, so it's very likely just happen naturally.

What happened in Qatar is very likely similar situation.

Just a little female infanticide going on.

As little as USA, that's true. Except US prefer to kill pregnant woman, we here have free healthcare and sensible abortion rule.
