BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (Borneo Bulletin/ANN) Some 57 per cent or around 47,000 households had selected to use e-census for Stage Two during stage one of the Population and Housing Census from January to February 2021, Department of Economic Planning and Statistics (JPES) Director General Mariah Yahya said.

“The high number of participation in the e-census was a positive sign that the public has accepted the use of innovative technology. JPES is hopeful that during Stage Three, the number of families needing face-to-face interviews will be reduced, ” she said.
