According to the Statistics Department only 1 in 10 Malaysians have completed the Census 2020 online.

Chief statistician and Census 2020 commissioner Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said, about 10% have filled their information through the e-Census form in the first phase of Census 2020, which ends on Sept 30.

The census online is expected reach target of 10 million or 30% of the total Malaysian population in the coming days.

"There are still a few days left before the first phase ends and we hope that those who have not filled in their information to do so to avoid congestion on the e-Census website. The chief said.

"The first phase is being implemented through the e-Census, while the second phase, via face-to-face interview, will be from Oct 7 to Oct 24 where we hope to be able to achieve 100% completion," he added.

The public awareness of the Census 2020 is very high and the Malaysian habit of doing things last minute is the major reason for the low number of participation .
