Department of Statistics is responsible for compilation of statistics including statistics on causes of death. Death records were obtained from the National Registration Department. Causes of death is coded based on the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems 10th Revision (ICD-10).
The Department of Statistics, Malaysia (DOSM) compiles a wide range of economic and labour statistics through conducting establishment surveys. The survey data are used by both the Government and the private sector in formulating policies and making decisions for economic development.
DOSM cannot exchange information with any other government departments, agencies including IRBM or to other persons for whatever purpose. All information relating to individual establishments will be kept in strict confidence.
Even though figures from audited accounts are preferred, figures base on preliminary accounts or best estimates available are also acceptable.
The survey samples are selected by scientific and probability-based statistical methods. We cannot purposely add or remove any establishment to/from the sample, as this will affect the representativeness of the survey results.
