Template talk:Largest cities of Malaysia

Outdated?
The figure in the latest WG seems to be really outdated. The figures seems to be like from the 1990 or 1980 census and almost 2/3 less than the latest 2010 official statistics. I think we ought to use official stats as it is more reliable. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 02:55, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 2010 statistics makes sense. CMD (talk) 06:42, 20 April 2012 (UTC)


 * ok I will update it using the census. There are actually 2 ways to use the census - district population or local govt area population. I was thinking of using the district population for this template. Although LGA would seem more accurate to describe the pop. of a city, some cities have more than 1 LGAs (eg Kuching). I have compiled the list in List of cities and towns in Malaysia by population based on the 2010 census. Any ideas welcomed. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 07:15, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Or i could mix and match using both sets of data to give a clearer picture. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 07:20, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * By district is probably better. Both would be political divisions, but a district is probably more likely to encapsulate a city, and I doubt rural areas will make that much of a difference. If you have a really good idea for mixing and matching, that'd be good, but it'd have to be very good to overcome OR/Synth issues that may arise. CMD (talk) 08:06, 20 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok thanks for your thoughts, CMD. I have updated using data by districts except for those problematic districts in Selangor surrounding KL (Klang Valley). Districts such as Petaling and Hulu Langat are vague and contains several towns/cities in them; eg Petaling District has Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Subang Jaya. So on the list, only Kajang, Klang, Subang Jaya and Petaling Jaya are based on LGA. ќמшמφטтгמ torque 09:17, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Question
there is double counting in this list. Kajang, Klang, Petaling Jaya and Subang Jaya are all part of the KL agglomeration. --unsigned comment added by 115.135.96.36 (talk) on 7 may 2013 here.
