How is this data produced?
A Malaysian Passport is a valid Travel Document issued to a Malaysian citizen for the purpose of traveling out of the country. In Malaysia, passports are issued solely by the Immigration Department of Malaysia, and are valid for a period of 5 years from the date of issue. This data is tabulated from the transactional administrative data produced and stored by the Immigration Department in the process of implementing the issuance of passports in Malaysia.
