Malaysians still have a chance to register for their e-Census 2020 since public members could still pre-register on Wednesday, Sept. 30, to receive their Invitation Code (IC). They have to visit the official website and go for the pre-registration page (ecensusreg.mycensus.gov.my).

If people did not receive any invitations, the Malaysian authorities recommend the public checking their Junk or Spam folder to see if the e-Census email may end up there. Once the people receive the 11-digit IC, representing their household, they could now log in on the e-Census website and answer the questionnaire.
The citizens may complete and submit the e-Census until Oct. 6. The Statistics Department encourages people to participate since the online Census 2020 could help maintain physical distancing during the ongoing pandemic.
Now, what would happen to those people who were not able to submit the questionnaire? Based on the FAQ statement, a surveyor will visit houses of those who failed to complete the registration to conduct a face-to-face interview using a smartphone, tablet, or questionnaire, from Oct. 7 onwards.
Datuk Seri Dr. Mohd Uzir Mahidin, the chief statistician and Census 2020 commissioner, said in a Sept. 27 report that only 1 out of 10 Malaysians completed the e-Census 2020.
"The first phase is being implemented through the e-Census, while the second phase, via face-to-face interview, will be from Oct. 7 to 24 where we hope to be able to achieve 100% completion," he added.
Why should Malaysians participate in the e-Census 2020?
Malaysians should complete the online Census since the Census Act 1960, Section 9(2) requires the residents to answer all the questions in the census form. Meanwhile, Section 17(1) explains that those who will not comply will be fined of no more than RM100 ($24.06) or imprisonment for no more than six months.
