What is Open Data

Open data is data that can be freely used, shared and reused by citizens, Government agencies and the private sector for a variety of purposes. It serves as a catalyst in the Government-led initiatives of the people. Implementation of the Government's open data can enhance transparency in the delivery of Government services through accurate, fast and relevant data sharing while increasing the productivity of the nation's digital economy through new industries or innovations with the involvement of the people and the business community. It also puts Malaysia on par with other countries in the Digital Government initiative. The Perak Islamic Religious Department has taken action to identify the data sets for the implementation of open data in each departmental service.
