Background
The Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) has been conducting the Household Income Survey (HIS) since 1973, and then twice in every five years.[5] Apart from determining the economic well-being of the population in all Malaysian states through this survey, HIS plays a role in collecting information on income distribution patterns of Malaysian households.[5] DOSM highlights that the collection of household income statistics shows a better economic indicator in determining the country's economic policies, rather than individual wages as majority of Malaysians live as households.[6]
