Open data is government data that can be freely used, shared and reused by the public, public or private sector agencies for any purpose.

The implementation of open data improves the quality and transparency of government service delivery through the sharing of accurate, timely and relevant data, as well as the productivity and economy of the nation through new industries and innovations.

The Public Sector Open Data Portal (data.gov.my) was developed in 2014 and facilitates access to government open data from official sources. The Kelantan State Government has responded to this initiative and this page displays a set of data that can be shared and reused.
