MyGOV Malaysia Mobile App Set To Transform Public Service Delivery
By Mohd Ashraf Syafiq Mazlan PUTRAJAYA, June 29 (Bernama) -- MyGOV Malaysia, the country's single digital gateway for public services, set to launch next month, is expected to revolutionise how citizens interact with government agencies and departments, making transactions easier, faster and more efficient. The mobile application integrates various public services, offering seamless access for the public, civil servants and businesses. Through the application, users will be able to check, submit applications and receive notifications for services involving government agencies such as summons checks, welfare aid and assistance for government retirees. Senior lecturer in Computer Science at the Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Universiti Teknologi MARA Seremban Campus, Associate Professor Dr Siti Salwa Salleh, said the introduction of MyGOV Malaysia is the right move to drive the government's digital transformation efforts towards more efficient service delivery. 'This is an improvement in public access, as people can obtain information and services regardless of time and location,' she told Bernama. She said the application will ease dealings with government agencies by eliminating the need to visit physical counters, thereby reducing bureaucracy. However, she stressed the need to enhance communication and user understanding of the application to ensure its full potential is realised. Commenting on data privacy concerns, Siti Salwa said the government must clearly explain how user data is collected, stored and protected.
