 CONCLUSION
Death statistics is a critical input for policy-making.
Insights from these statistics are essential for the
formulation and monitoring of evidence-based health,
social and economic policies. For example, deaths from
road accidents in Malaysia continues to be alarming,
particularly for adult men. This insight can inform new
and adjustments to existing policy interventions. This is
true for other related policies, such as those pertaining
the high incidence of non-communicable diseases related
deaths.
