The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is postponing two of its surveys until further notice.
The Hand Phone Users Survey 2019 and e-Commerce Consumer Survey 2019 were supposed to run from now until May 31.
The regulatory body said the survey’s goal was to collect “data and information about handphone users and e-commerce consumers in Malaysia”.
In a tweet, it said the survey would be postponed but did not give a reason or new date.
In its initial announcement, MCMC’s said the calls would be made via its CATI (computer-assisted telephone interviewing) centre in Cyberjaya, and would be conducted daily from 9am to 6pm, except on national holidays or holidays affecting Selangor.
MCMC claimed that the survey is for data collection purposes only, and no sales will be solicited nor money collected.
“Participation is on a voluntary basis; however, cooperation from the respondents are much appreciated,” it said in a statement. -The Star
