The dataset covers Malaysia (national and state level) from 2017-01-01 through 2022-01-01.

## Schema

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `date` | date | The date in YYYY-MM-DD format, with MM-DD set to 01-01 as the data is at annual frequency |
| `state` | string | One of 16 states, or Malaysia; data for W.P. Putrajaya is subsumed under W.P. Kuala Lumpur. |
