on data for selangor state, since 23rd july, the total registration, is more than adult population of 4,747,900. for example, on 23rd july, total registration is 4,778,443, on 21st aug, is 5,416,791.

Same issue happens on johor, melaka, n.sembilan, pulau pinang, kuala lumpur and putrajaya data.

could it be due to the outdated census from DOSM showing underestimated population numbers. Esp among undocumented, foreign workers.

the underestimate is as expected, but what is the range of +- tolerance? at the end of this exercise, we shall know if dosm is too conservative on population estimation, because it has huge impact to our society, if the estimated number far from real figure.
