I have already revised some of the data streams (WDI, WID or world income inequality, Unctadstat, Ford) where quite a large number of data (yearwise) are missing. How to recover the data? Can I use data cleaning or other methods when many years of data are missing? Or, is there national data streams such as Department of Statistics which can provide the missing ones?
I think that WID has a very good website https://wid.world/ , where you can find the last report and country data. What I especially value it that they have country data for long periods (like 100 years) not only for Gini, but also for shares of top 10%, bottom 50%, top 1% in income and wealth disrtribution.
There are various sources that provide data on income inequality (measured by the Gini coefficient) for ASEAN countries. Some of the commonly used sources are: -
1) The World Bank: The World Bank provides Gini coefficient data for ASEAN countries on its website. You can access the data through the World Bank's data portal, which provides access to a range of economic and social indicators. The data is regularly updated and available for download in various formats.
2) The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP): The UNDP provides Gini coefficient data for ASEAN countries in its Human Development Reports. The data is usually updated annually and can be accessed through the UNDP's website.
3) National Statistical Offices: Each ASEAN country has its own national statistical office that collects and publishes data on various economic and social indicators, including income inequality. You can check the websites of these offices to see if they have the data you need.
4) International Monetary Fund (IMF): The IMF also provides Gini coefficient data for ASEAN countries through its World Economic Outlook database. The data is usually updated twice a year and can be accessed through the IMF's website.
5) Asian Development Bank (ADB): The ADB provides data on income inequality for ASEAN countries through its Asian Development Outlook reports. The data is updated annually and can be accessed through the ADB's website.
It is important to note that data availability and quality can vary across sources, and it is always a good idea to cross-check and validate the data before using it for any analysis or decision-making.

Dear Debasmita.
kindly check other sources of data recommended @ Lazaro Athanes Mwonge.

The best way to find data is to dig into the national bureaus of a country regarding any variable. You can use VPN and institutional email if they are not providing access.
