The Finance Ministry website trails a far second with 14,309,102 hits compared with Jakim's staggering 99,560,009.
The third most popular government website is that of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry with 10,340,803 hits followed by Kolej Universiti Islam Malaysia (8,166,483) and the Malaysian Industrial Development Board (7,426,992).
This was followed by UDA Holdings Bhd's website with 609 hits, Bank Pertanian Malaysia (10,992), National Security Division (12,586) and the Johor Tenggara Development Board or Kejora (14,000).
"There are 900 government websites. The number of visitors is taken as an indicator of the people's confidence towards the efficiency of their various services," Abdul Rahman said, adding "we will continue to improve and monitor government websites to make sure they are functional and provide good services to the public".
Abdul Rahman said the penetration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Malaysia was wide.
"We are among the Top 5 ICT users in the world," he added.
Meanwhile, Parliamentary Opposition Leader Lim Kit Siang (DAP-Ipoh Timur) questioned how Abdul Rahman could announce that the government had rejected the Global E-Government Rankings when he did not know anything about it.
"This explains his request for me to hand over the annual surveys of the Brown University to him. This is most shocking when this is the sixth year of the ranking survey," he added.
"Abdul Rahman says the government could not accept the rankings. And yet (he) asked me to forward to him the annual surveys.
"Abdul Rahman's claim that Malaysia is one of the Top Five countries in the use of ICT for e-government is not reflected by his reply. It's a sad reflection of the lack of seriousness of the government to use e-government as a major driver of international competitiveness," he added.
