  • Malaysia: Connecting with the 21st century

    Under the National Broadband Implementation Plan, the drive to connect the general population is well in motion to ensure Malaysians in and beyond urban areas can get connected to broadband.

    Once, water supply and electricity were the keystones to national development and attracting foreign investments.

    But now, broadband connectivity has become a basic necessity for businesses and homes alike.

  • Malaysia: Convenience at your fingertips

    THINGS are so simplified with the advent of the Internet which has transcended from a tool of communication to a platform in facilitating e-payment. The best thing about online facilities is that you can choose the time when to settle bills or pay for certain facilities at anytime of the day at your convenience when opting for online facility. There are no closing hours unlike payment counters where you have to queue up and settle the necessary bills within the stipulated period of the opening hours.

  • Malaysia: Creating awareness in govt-to-citizen services

    Since its introduction and implementation, e-Government has been under scrutiny because it promises to revolutionise not only the way the Government works but also how it deals with partners and clients, including businesses and citizens.

    An important component is government-to-citizen (G2C) services as this is where the public deals with the Government and could subsequently assess how successful this initiative has been.

  • Malaysia: Developing Integrated Flagship E-Government Projects

    Dr Muhammad Ghazie Ismail, Senior Vice President, Multimedia Development Corporation, Malaysia explains how e-government project can be integrated into a broader technology roadmap.

    Since 1999 the Malaysian government has promoted a series of flagship technology applications, each of which has required different government ministries to establish collaborative workflows and systems. Examples of flagship applications that have required coordination between agencies include e-government, smart schools, the government multipurpose card, and telehealth.

  • Malaysia: Dusting off the websites

    Almost two years ago, when he was still Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi issued a directive to all government departments and agencies to update their websites.

    Archive Since 1991 Although we are not privy to the proceedings of the National Information, Communication and Technology Cabinet Committee meeting held last week, the very fact that the Prime Minister issued a similar instruction when chairing the meeting can lead to only one conclusion - that not all heeded the order.

  • Malaysia: E-court integrated system to be adopted in e-govt programme

    Sarawak Judiciary's e-court integrated system, the first in Asia can be adopted into certain sectors of Malaysia's e-government programme, said Chief Secretary to the government Tan Sri Sidek Hassan.

  • Malaysia: E-government use growing here, but slowly

    Electronic government adoption is growing in Malaysia, but rather slowly, according to a survey by market information group TNS.

  • Malaysia: E-government with a smile

    The Government wants to make e-government more customer-oriented to complement the large infrastructure build-up that has been the primary focus of its efforts.

  • Malaysia: E-govt damper

    Low information and communications technology (ICT) adoption and unoptimised Government Web sites are slowing down electronic government implementation in Malaysia as suggested by a recent report released by the United Nations.

    In the Global E-government Readiness Report 2005: From E-Government to E-Inclusion, which measures e-government readiness in 176 countries, Malaysia managed only a low score in both categories, with 0.3048 and 0.5679 index points respectively.

  • Malaysia: E-govt is not just about services for citizens

    Since the start of the new millennium, Malaysia has launched a number of initiatives to transform public sector services delivery from the traditional to an electronic one. This is in line with developments across the globe to make work processes and operations in the public sector more efficient.

    But based on some reports, Malaysia is showing a rather slow progress. According to the United Nations’ e-government readiness report for 2005, Malaysia was ranked No. 43 globally. In the Southeast Asian region, Malaysia lags Korea, Singapore, Japan and even the Philippines!

  • Malaysia: E-govt knowledge management needs accountability

    Knowledge management and e-learning are key components of public services, and require transparency and accountability between government agencies and the public they serve, according to Oracle Corp’s Susan Slocum.

  • Malaysia: E-judiciary to go nationwide

    Delays, postponements and huge case backlogs will be greatly reduced when courts nationwide go online.

    Encouraged by the positive results of a pilot project involving 11 courtrooms, the government has decided to expand the e-judiciary project nationwide as soon as possible.

    "We are studying the proposal for a nationwide roll-out, with a decision expected in March," Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz said.

  • Malaysia: E-services at local authorities

    The Housing and Local Government Ministry (MHLG) is targeting for all 144 local authorities in Malaysia to offer e-government services to its customers under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP).

  • Malaysia: E-sourcing to make public sector more efficient

    ADOPTING a transparent e-sourcing programme for the public sector could make Malaysia 7% richer, lower its borrowings by 16% and save the federal government up to US$1.8bil a year in supply costs, a recently released US-Asean Business Council white paper claims.

  • Malaysia: Electronic matchmaker

    The Electronic Labour Exchange (ELX) developed by the Human Resource Ministry since 2004 has successfully provided jobs for 40,915 applicants.

    Labour Department employment division director Ahmad Mudi Onn Nor said since its inception, the ELX has recorded 297,173 new registrants for jobs while employers registering in the free online job portal stood at 66,423.

  • Malaysia: Enterprise architecture to boost e-government
