The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) has declared World Statistics Day to be celebrated on 20 October 2010. Next, the Second World Statistics Day is celebrated on 20 October 2015 and is celebrated every five years on 20 October. The celebration of World Statistics Day in Malaysia has been celebrated since 2010 by holding activities that include various levels of society.
For the first time in 2017, National Statistics Day has been declared and celebrated annually on every 20 October starting 20 October 2017.
The Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) held MyStats Day celebrations in 2017, 2018 and 2019 with various activities throughout the year. The celebration in 2019 was celebrated together with the celebration of 70 years of existence of DOSM as the country's official statistics generator.
The celebration of National Statistics Day (MyStats Day) 2020 is very meaningful because it will be celebrated together with World Statistics Day (World Statistics Day) on 20 October 2020.
