MyLabourHub to help Malaysia stay top in global open data ranking
PUTRAJAYA: The launch of MyLabourHub is expected to help Malaysia maintain its top global ranking in the Open Data Inventory (ODIN) by strengthening the availability and accessibility of labour and social statistics. Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) chief statistician Datuk Seri Dr Mohd Uzir Mahidin said the platform aligns with the criteria assessed by Open Data Watch, which include the openness of social, economic and environmental data. "One of the key areas assessed by Open Data Watch is the availability of social, economic and environmental data. "With the launch of MyLabourHub, we are in a stronger position to sustain our No. 1 ranking," he said at the launch of MyLabourHub at the DOSM headquarters in Putrajaya today. Uzir added that DOSM will soon launch the Integrated Agricultural Statistical System (TaniStats), a centralised digital system that organises and simplifies agricultural data. Together with MyLabourHub, he said, the initiative will expand the scope of accessible data points, variables and structured datasets that are .evaluated in global assessments. "MyLabourHub and Tanistats are among the efforts that will increase the number of data points, variables and access mechanisms that are measured internationally." He said growing international attention on food security and agricultural resilience had prompted calls from institutions such as the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) for countries to strengthen their statistical systems in those areas. "These issues used to focus heavily on industrial data, but agriculture and food have now become major areas of concern globally." Uzir added that improving data in both labour and agriculture was key to reinforcing Malaysia's position. "I am confident that with MyLabourHub, Tanistats and other emerging initiatives, we can continue to elevate the country's name and maintain our position as a global leader in open data." Malaysia ranks first out of 198 countries in the ODIN 2024/25 report, rising from 67th in the previous edition. MyLabourHub compiles real-time labour market data from more than 40 ministries and agencies, offering detailed, accessible insights for policymakers, researchers and the public.

Nga lauds nation's top spot in open data
On the ground: Nga with residents at the Sentuhan Kasih KPKT 3.0 programme in Kuantan. PETALING JAYA: Malaysia scored two major achievements on the global stage in the areas of open data and press freedom, says Nga Kor Ming. The Housing and Local Government Minister lauded the achievements, particularly in the Open Data Inventory (ODIN) 2024/25 ranking where the nation came up tops. 'Malaysia created history by securing the top position in the ODIN with an impressive overall score of 90. 'We outperformed 198 others, including developed nations such as Singapore, Finland, Denmark and Poland,' he told a press conference in conjunction with the Sentuhan Kasih KPKT 3.0 programme in Kuantan yesterday. Nga said the milestone reflects the commitment of the Madani government with regard to data transparency and public accessibility, particularly through the launch of the OpenDOSM portal in 2023. The platform modernised and centralised access to Malaysia's official data while reinforcing the country's digital governance framework. 'Open data is crucial because it supports evidence-based policy planning. 'When data is openly accessible, it enables more accurate, informed decision-making by policymakers. 'This also helps build public trust and strengthens governance,' he said. The achievement, Nga added, also highlights Malaysia's capability to compete globally with regard to its openness and coverage of official data. He said this further cemented Malaysia's status as a global leader on open government data. The minister also highlighted a significant improvement in Malaysia's ranking on the World Press Freedom Index 2025, published by Reporters Without Borders. 'Based on the latest evaluation, our ranking rose 19 spots from 107th in 2024 to 88th this year,' he said. This marked improvement is seen as a positive sign due to ongoing reforms and improvements of the media landscape, he added. Among Asean nations, Malaysia now holds the second-highest position on the index, behind Thailand, which is ranked 85th globally.
