It took me forever to think of the one beside Shenzhen… I took 20 minutes of my life just naming cities I thought could be around there, then it hit me. Shenzhen was the one I was missing.
It seems like the data for Sabah is using the data from CityPopulation for subdivisions instead of urban areas, leading to places like Kinabatangan showing up as over 100K when really it has less than 50K.
Per the source there are only district populations for Sabah:
https://citypopulation.de/en/malaysia/admin/12__sabah/
If you know of another source with their census info for cities/townships you can let me know.
You could use the urban area population from here:
Malaysia: States, Federal Territories, Major Urban Areas & Conurbations – Population Statistics, Maps, Charts, Weather and Web Information (citypopulation.de)
Seems like it would be a much better equivalent for cities than the districts.
Actually I think the “urban area” populations that I linked are just the city proper populations, which is even better. I noticed that some other parts of Malaysia on the quiz are using district populations instead of city populations, so I think you should switch all of Malaysia to the “urban area” populations.
