Finally, Figure 23 presents data for the Asian Group. Nearly all measures are partially or fully

implemented (scores of 2 or 3), which explains the relatively high average score for the group,

referenced above. Malaysia, which is addressed in more detail in Section 4, stands out as having

the maximum possible score on all five indicators. As a result, it is very much at or close to the

global best practice frontier in this area. A number of other countries, fromdifferent sub-regions,

have two or three instances of the maximum possible score, which is again indicative of strong

overall performance by the group. Compared with the other two groups, there are few missing

bars, which suggests that countries in the Asian Group have generally at least made a start, and

typically considerable progress, in terms of implementing the key agenda items in relation to

public information availability identified in the UNGS.
