PETALING JAYA (July 6, 2010): Technology has now made it possible for internet -savvy people like Helena Ping, 27, (picture) to offer online information
for the 5th Population and Housing Census 2010 which was launched today.

She's not alone in wanting to take part in the census out of convenience.

Enumerator Abdul Rahim Abdul Wahab, 19, said many people they approached while conducting the first census rounds were tech savvy and had asked directly
if they could do it online.

The new E-census method is an alternative to filling in the questionnaire which comes in a DOPU (Drop Off Pick Up) package. Both online and paper questionnaire
format are new methods brought in this year to accompany the traditional interview technique employed by enumerators.

Kamisa Tahir, 63, who has been living in the same house on a quiet street in Kelana Jaya for 27 years, however prefers being interviewed. She does not
remember any of the previous censuses.

"Ten years is such a long time," she said, during a visit by theSun to check on the start of the census.

The census which covers the whole of Malaysia and deals with an estimated 28.3 million people, was launched today at the Putra World Trade Centre here
by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop.

"This is a really big and complex operation and includes every single resident in Malaysia whether here illegally or illegally," the minister said.

"We have a come a long way since the first census was conducted in 1970."

Chief Statistician and Census Commissioner Datuk Wan Ramlah Wan Abd Raof said preparations for the census began as far back as 2005
