INTRODUCTION
! The Department of Survey and Mapping
Malaysia (JUPEM) - the authorize agency in the maintaining of the national reference system for horizontal and vertical control in Malaysia. The Geocentric Datum of Malaysia or GDM2000 is the new national geodetic datum for Malaysia and it replaces the old datum of MRT48 and BT68. It was officially launched nationwide on 26 August 2003.

MyRTKnet
! Beginning 2002, JUPEM has established a
network known as the Malaysia Real-Time Kinematic GNSS Network or MyRTKnet that uses a new generation of RTK solution known as Virtual Reference Station (VRS). MyRTKnet is based on a network of continuous operating GPS reference stations. ! By 2008, Malaysia has seventy-eight (78) RTK reference stations for the network covering the whole Peninsular Malaysia with fifty (50) stations, Sabah (14 stations) and Sarawak (14 stations).

MPGN2000 (2009)
!
Apart from producing MyRTKnet stations in GDM2000 (2009) coordinates, similar efforts were also made for the MPGN2000 stations. Thus, with the availability of GDM2000 (2009) coordinates for all the MyRTKnet stations, the next step is to revise the GDM2000 coordinates of the MPGN2000 stations, bearing in mind that stations in Sabah and Sarawak still maintain their GDM2000 coordinates due to insignificant displacements from the two earthquakes in Sumatra.
MPGN2000 (2009)
!
Results indicate that the coordinate displacement of the MPGN2000 network in Peninsular Malaysia is not linear and displays elastic properties. In addition, the displacements also differ from one station to another. Thus, any type of modelling of the actual displacement needs a long period of monitoring in order to produce precise parameter. As an alternative, a multiple regression model was thus produced using GPS data obtained from 2009 to provide a relationship between the MPGN2000 in GDM2000 and MPGN2000 in GDM2000 (2009). Tests indicate that through the re-observations at selected MPGN2000 stations and connection to the MyRTKnet stations is at cm-level accuracy.
CONCLUSION
!
The GDM2000 supersedes the classical geodetic datums in Malaysia and has been established with respect to a geocentric reference frame defined in ITRF system at ITRF2000 epoch 2 January 2000 at an accuracy of 1 cm. On the other hand, the new GDM2000 (2009) coordinates have taken into account the displacement and movement due to the Sumatran earthquakes in 2004, 2005 and 2007 with its reference and epoch maintained.
