Motivation edit

Every company registered in Malaysia will be given their own registration number which is unique to the company. This number is will be helpful for uniquely identifying a company stored in Wikidata. The number can usually be seen after the name of the company in the packaging of their products, their website, or even on the signs of stores. I couldn't find a documentation of the ID but I notice that it will always start with a string of numbers followed by a dash and then a single letter.— Jeluang Terluang (talk) 15:08, 16 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
