I think that place=city is for Majlis Perbandaran or Majlis Bandaraya and Muar can be a little city..

Comment from AkuAnakTimur
I see what you are trying to say. Muar is the royal city of Johor (Bandar Maharani), but Majlis Perbandaran Muar is the "governing local entity" (PBT), not Majlis Bandaraya Muar. See http://www.mpmuar.gov.my/

Whoops, local governing entity or Pihak Berkuasa Tempatan.

In fact, the Wikipedia article explicitly mention Muar is a town.

My city standard is a local goverment that over 200,000 people and Muar already over this standard that have 247,957 people in 2010 see this
https://ms.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senarai_bandar_di_Malaysia_mengikut_penduduk
Wikipedia say it is a town but maybe now Muar can be consider as a Little city as Kangar or Sibu

If consider your standard, then we have 39 (12+12+12+3) cities across Malaysia. I think better we stick to what's official and easier and clearer: which place got Majlis Bandaraya (that's definitely a city) and which got simply Majlis Perbandaran.

Kangar is special case, but common knowledge says it is the capital of Perlis. Regardless its status as place=city or place=town, other tag can definitely help saying that Kangar is the capital of Perlis.

Always remember that we tag data because that's simply it is in real life, not how we are going to show on the map --->

Ok so now Cities in Malaysia in OSM give to all capital and urban area as Klang Taiping or BM and other u can just give town as Temerloh Bentong Muar Sitiawan Kulim Dungun Kemaman Nibong Tebal Kuah Jasin Alor Gajah Kuala Kangsar Sepang for West Malaysia and other Just leave City. Just follow your standard..
But One day Maybe them will be grown to a city.. -

I will stick to something simple and official. Which place got Majlis Bandaraya, and which place not have Majlis Bandaraya - got only Majlis Perbandaran.
Even Sungai Petani is under Majlis Perbandaran Sungai Petani, not Majlis Bandaraya Sungai Petani. It's official, Sungai Petani is only place=town, not place=city.
Come and discuss in the forum. Open new table, discuss.

So that mean you only reconize MB/DBs as a city?But the great city status normally is a capital too(only PJ is not a capital).Some place cannot get city status because money tax...So my side is MB/DB absolute a city.MP sometime is a city sometime not.
