WHEN I sat down to complete the 2020 Census online, I was astonished at the number of questions asked and the details requested – it took me close to two hours to complete as I also needed to check some answers with my wife.
The deadline for filling in the e-census has been extended to Oct 6, and thus far, about 2.9 million people have taken part, said Chief Statistician of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin, when we met on Thursday. From Oct 7 till Oct 24, trained enumerators will conduct door-to-door and face-to- face interviews.
