only for MyCensus 2020 but also for future Censuses and Surveys by using the
same integrated architecture.

4. Discussion
DOSM aims to minimize human resources needed, reduce census
operation time while rapidly generating current population and demographic
data by using the use of latest, more dynamic and flexible ICT infrastructure
and application system. Hence, the use of relevant administrative data in
MyCensus 2020 is hoped to achieve its objectives effectively.
By using current Open Data Initiative and Big Data Analytics platform in
order to analyse the huge data from MyCensus 2020, this transformation will
also lead to a more well-organised of pre, during and post census activities.
More quality and reliable data will be produced as the primary data can be
compared with administrative data from DOSM and other agencies.
The development of MyIPCS is a long term and continuous investment as
well as cost effective since it can be used beyond MyCensus 2020. The
transformation will lead to the implementation of smaller scale of Census in
the future.

5. Conclusion
By providing platforms such as MyCTP and MyIPCS, the effort to ensure
MyCensus2020 could be capitalized in data acquisition of the national
landscape is fulfilled. The modernisation of Population Census 2020 through
MyIPCS introduces new elements and business process to the Department of
Statistics Malaysia. As the world changes, these platforms could lead the way
in big data and machine learning in the future development of the digital
revolution. Thus save valuable resources and financial burdens DOSM faces
and increase data processing efficiency. In the future, the study in the area of
data integration and data security within the system can be explored.
