STORY NOTES
What makes this worth sharing?
The counter format is designed for scale: it makes cumulative national change instantly legible on a small social screen.
SOCIAL HEADLINE
Watch Malaysia's population grow across five decades
CAPTION
One number. More than five decades. Malaysia's population story becomes much easier to feel when the total moves year by year.
Source: Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM), aggregated from Population Table: States.#PulseKita#Malaysia#Population#DataVisualization
METHODOLOGY
One number, built transparently.
PulseKita sums the all-sexes, all-ages, all-ethnicities totals published by DOSM for every state and federal territory in each available year.
This visual is an aggregation of the state table rather than a separate national-series dataset.
Administrative changes follow the way DOSM publishes each year's state and federal-territory totals.
