In performing its functions on the collection, interpretation and dissemination of statistics, the Department of Statistics, Malaysia now faces the challenges of the new millennium in contributing towards the formation of a knowledge society through information dissemination.
Society now demands easy access to information in real time.
The Department in working towards this goal, has upgraded its information technology capacity to enable the provision of statistics to users, be it government, private or from outside the country. The new millennium also sees the world becoming borderless. The process of globalisation demands an urgent need for a transparent and timely system of dissemination of information. Our products, services as well as key data which are useful in planning for development activities and for research purposes are posted on this web site. Statistics provided are continuously updated as and when new data are made available.
