If you have seen MoH’s latest Covid dashboards before, then these dashboards apply the same UX on data from other govt agencies.

Previously these data are made public but with rather antiquated ways of displaying and utilizing the numbers. I felt the current design is more appealing to a broader audience, although some quotes and quips they pepper throughout the dashboard prefaces might be overdone.

There are a few upcoming dashboards like:

• 9 November 2023 (Thursday), Baby Name Popularity lets you explore the popularity of any Malaysian name. Yeah they pushed the ETA by another four weeks wtf.
• Available since 22 September 2023 (Friday), explore ridership from any origin to any destination on Rapid Bus and Rail services, at daily frequency.
• Also available the same day, explore ridership from any origin to any destination on KTMB-operated services at daily frequency, based on data from KTM Integrated Ticketing System (KITS).
• “On 14th Sep, look out for the release of daily births data, daily rainfall and temperature data, as well as granular income tax data!” As far as I know these dashboards were live a day before, if not earlier. EDIT: Daily births here, placed under “Data Catalogue” which is a separate category to the dashboard page I linked for this post.

Hope you have fun exploring these dashboards. Do share any interesting insights or bugs you encounter (not a dev, don’t @ me).
