In this regard, Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli urged residents to cooperate with the interviewers to ensure the survey achieves its goal of obtaining accurate, up-to-date and comprehensive data on the population and family life.
“A total of 37,550 residences nationwide will be visited during the survey period, including 1,810 in Perlis.
