Outdated?
The figure in the latest WG seems to be really outdated. The figures seems to be like from the 1990 or 1980 census and almost 2/3 less than the latest 2010 official statistics. I think we ought to use official stats as it is more reliable.

2010 statistics makes sense.

ok I will update it using the census. There are actually 2 ways to use the census -
district population or
local govt area population. I was thinking of using the district population for this template. Although LGA would seem more accurate to describe the pop. of a city, some cities have more than 1 LGAs (eg Kuching). I have compiled the list in
List of cities and towns in Malaysia by population based on the 2010 census. Any ideas welcomed.

Or i could mix and match using both sets of data to give a clearer picture.

By district is probably better. Both would be political divisions, but a district is probably more likely to encapsulate a city, and I doubt rural areas will make that much of a difference. If you have a really good idea for mixing and matching, that'd be good, but it'd have to be very good to overcome OR/Synth issues that may arise.

Ok thanks for your thoughts, CMD. I have updated using data by districts except for those problematic districts in Selangor surrounding KL (Klang Valley). Districts such as
Petaling and
Hulu Langat are vague and contains several towns/cities in them; eg Petaling District has
Petaling Jaya,
Shah Alam and
Subang Jaya. So on the list, only
Kajang,
Klang,
Subang Jaya and
Petaling Jaya are based on LGA.

Question
there is double counting in this list. Kajang, Klang, Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya are all part of the KL agglomeration. --unsigned comment added by
