On the comparison of lightning fatality rates between states in Malaysia from 2008-2019
This study briefly canvasses lightning fatalities in Malaysia. Acquiring lightning fatality statics are a challenge as mandatory reporting of such events is seldom required, and as such, many lightning incidences were unreported. For that reason, numerous cases were undocumented in the official reco...
