Details

From the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia official portal, there datasets are not available. 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.

Reviewer comments

the Department of Survey and Mapping Malaysia official portal seems to offer different kinds of maps and data for sale, but the catalauge doesn't work at the time of this review, thus the data exists, not for free, and the rest is unknown in my opinion.
