In Malaysia, there are government agencies that play its vital roles in upholding the initiatives by introducing Big Data in public service (Data Raya Sektor Awam) as the key step in implementing Big Data at the national level. Malaysia’s 11th Plan (2016-2020) has outlined the Big Data as a strategy to transform public sector for the better service delivery and to reduce the cost to the government.
