Introduction
Politweet Insights is a system offering access to our automated reports on tweets from users in Malaysia and research topics related to Malaysia.
In the future we plan to include detailed statistics of Malaysia's 14th General Election (2018) showing party support by ethnic group and age group for each polling district, state assembly (DUN) seat and Parliament seat.
If you are interested in paid access to our data, please contact Ahmed Kamal at akn81.garrison@gmail.com or admin@politweet.org.
