Ever wondered just how many people in Malaysia share your birthday?
Probably not, but that doesn't matter.
Because there's a government website that tells you just how many babies were born on any given date, including your not-so-unique birthday. ;)
The Birthday Explorer, created by the National Registration Department (JPN), is a tool that shows all birthdays from 1920 to 2022
The caption and explanation of the site are so cute.
It states:
Mark Twain once wrote that "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why". This website can't tell you the meaning of life; we're just a data site, after all.
But what we can do is give you a fun, data-driven way to contextualise your birthday. How many people share your birthday? Which months of the year are most popular for giving birth? Which dates were particularly special? Explore the data below and find out!
Want to know how many babies were born on your birthday? Curious if your birth month is part of a baby boom? Or maybe you're wondering if your birth date lands among Malaysia's all-time most popular days?
Just head over to the website and insert your birthday. Within seconds, you'll uncover fun insights, like whether your birthday belongs to the "cool kids club" of most celebrated dates or whether it's a quiet achiever.
Don't worry — your search is private, and no data is stored.
Pro tip: Data nerds will love exploring broader trends too, like which months Malaysians love welcoming new bundles of joy. (Spoiler: seems like most Malaysian babies are conceived during New Year celebrations hehe).
