Inclusive Statistician

Jousairi Hasbullah:
We are now entering a new world of information. Unfortunately what we call as information actually is not information and is not knowledge. Information could be regarded as a knowledge if it come from a complex mechanism involving scientific process.

We are witnessing the world poured with data and information but no scientific basis. Sometime, data created based on "shaky methodology" can be quoted and put it as scientific evidence. On the other hand, information with no clear sources quoted in the public debate especially through social media.  Information is spread like a virus. Even, true quality data can be misinterpreted by the public even by senior officials ..this types of error of what we call as "mutant" Statistics.

Dealing with this situation, all statistician around the world should go to the people, to the public, hand in hand to reach as many people as possible to educate them againts the ignorance"virus of information".
But..all statistician should shift their isolated behaviour:exclusive tobe more inclusive.
We should bring data relevant to the need of the people, present in a way people can easily understand..and use language coherent with people' habitual behaviour, people'culture, and people'interest. This is what I do call as Inclusive Statistician.
