64 Pollutant Emissions


the data is been been Monitor for PM CO AND SOx no Monitor data for NOx exsit maybe the data shold be Considered not exist but the raw data of air Pollutant is given so its Considered not Publicly available the data online is here-http://apims.doe.gov.my/v2/ and its givs as a vale of Air Pollutant Index


Air Pollutant Index of Malaysia Aggregate data about the emission of air pollutants especially those potentially harmful to human health (althoug The Malaysian Air Quality Guidelines (MAAGs) which form the basis for calculating the API are presented in Table 1. These guidelines have been derived from available scientific and human health data, and basically represent "safe levels" below which no adverse health effects have been observed. The MAAGs are generally comparable to the corresponding air quality standards recommended by the World Health Organization and other countries.

The averaging time, which varies from 1 to 24 hours for the different air pollutants in MAAGs, represents the period of time over which measurements is monitored and reported for the assessment of human health impacts of specific air pollutants. As such, the air pollution indices are normally monitored and reported for the same averaging times as those employed for the air quality standards/guidelines.

The API values are reported for varying averaging time as follows:

a) PM10 and SO2 on 24-hour running averages. b) CO on 8-hour running averages. c) NO2 and O3 on 1-hour running averages.

The API for PM10 reflects specifically levels of particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 micron pollution and it may not be linked directly to visibility factors, as visibility is often determined by results of semi-quantitative observations over relatively shorter time periods.

The API value reported for a given time period represents the highest API value among all the sub-APIs calculated during that particular time period. The predominant parameter contributing towards a particular API value is normally indicated alongside the API value. This approach is an effort to promote a uniform and comparable API system. Ideally, all sub-API values exceeding the API 100 threshold limit should also be reported in addition to the predominant API value per se.

To determine the API for a given time period, the sub-index values (sub-API) for all 5 air pollutants included in the API system are first calculated using the above mentioned sub-index functions for the air quality data collected from the Continuous Air Quality Monitoring Stations (CAQMs). The corresponding air quality data are subjected to the necessary quality control processes and quality assurance procedures, prior to the sub-index calculations. Source of information -

48 Land Ownership


In Malaysia, land ownership at national level is managed by 2 agencies; Department of Lands and Mines (JKPTG) & The Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia (JUPEM). Link: http://www.nre.gov.my/ms-my/Tanah/Pages/default.aspx. Since, JKPTG and JUPEM are under the federal territory, the data available are not open to the public and entrance fees are required to request the data. However, there are several cases whereby Malay reserve land owner able to request the data at their respective state from the Land Department Office, which for Selangor and Penang case, the FOI act is available. Thus, the owners have their right to request access of the data.

80 Weather forecast


In Malaysia, the Meteorological Department is responsible for providing public information that relates to weather forecast. However, there are some loopholes found by follow the 4 criterias for this category:

  1. There are 3 types of weather forecast; general, states and districts. So, the 5-days forecast of temperature updated daily for districts only.
  2. Generally, there are summaries provided on strong winds and rough seas (http://www.met.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=4963). There are no 5-days forecast of wind updated daily.
  3. Normally, there will be 5-days forecast of percipitation updated daily but this is only for states (http://www.met.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1304&Itemid=1749) and districts (http://www.met.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3406&Itemid=1930).
  4. Unfortunately, there are limited historical temperature data provided. What was found from MetMalaysia website is data from 2014 until 2015. Normally, data was visualized in 4 types of figures; Rainfall Map for Malaysia, Mean Monthly Temperature, Mean Monthly Maximum Temperature & Mean Monthly Minimum Temperature. (http://www.met.gov.my/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=847&Itemid=1586)

In order for Malaysians or non-Malaysians to have access for complete data by follow these 4 criterias, the entrance fees may not required because there is Freedom of Information (FOI) Act takes place in the Selangor state territory. Therefore, it is possible for people to submit FOI request to the person in change in order to have access for the data.

There were only 2 elections results provided which is the results for the 13th (2013-current) and 12th (2008-2013) Parliament of Malaysia. In order to get complete information, the public have to make a request to the Election Commission of Malaysia. Given that the institution is in the Federal State territory, submitting for Freedom of Information request is impossible because there is no Freedom of Information Act for the Federal State Wilayah Persekutuan. Therefore, the public can refer to 3rd party who did published these datasets online http://everypolitician.org/malaysia/.
