How is this data produced?
The Immigration Department of Malaysia operates the Malaysian Immigration System (MyIMMs), which is used to record arrivals and departures by air, land, and sea at all international points of entry to Malaysia. The dataset shown here is aggregated from the transactional data stored in MyIMMs, which is the single source of truth for movement in and out of Malaysia.
What caveats I should bear in mind when using this data?
This data is based solely on records in MyIMMS. Furthermore, it should be noted that approximately 0.01% of arrivals do not have a nationality specified, including stateless individuals and refugees.
