Charting a new course with the country's data

Did you know that a 10kg bag of rice is cheapest in Perlis and Pahang, at only RM22.88, while the very same bag can fetch as much as RM30 in Sarawak?

OpenDOSM is described as: “A platform that catalogues, visualises, and analyses Malaysia’s wealth of data. “Datasets in this platform are presented in a data catalogue and dashboard with comprehensive metadata. It also contains the limitations of use for each dataset. “But if they notice that the allocation doesn’t match the data, the opportunity arises to question whether it is an efficient use of public funds, and have their point backed up by data.

“And secondly, to encourage other government agencies to collaborate in data sharing and make it available to the public, while preserving the integrity, provenance and attribution,” Mohd Uzir said. Examples given by Mohd Uzir of the types of data that could be made available include the likelihood of employment based on the area of study and industry, average salaries and tourism hotspots.

“The same can be said for data, so those with specialised skills are in a position to guide the public on how it should be done,” Mohd Uzir said. “For some countries, even cab drivers at the airport know and can talk about the socioeconomic situation of their country alongside tourist spots. “Nevertheless, intended misinterpretation is unavoidable if users themselves understand the data context well but purposely misuse it,” Mohd Uzir said.

However, those who want to harness the data will have to equip themselves with the right analytical tools for deeper insights.
