Immigration launches new and improved MyVisa 2.0 system
The system, dubbed MyVisa 2.0, will be implemented starting Aug 1 following its official launch as part of the 103rd Immigration Day celebrations on Monday (July 21).
"It is an enhanced version of the original MyVisa system introduced on Dec 1, 2021. The new system has been rebuilt as an integrated digital visa platform, offering faster, safer and more efficient application experiences, in line with the expectations of citizens and international visitors who prioritise convenience in public services.
"MyVisa 2.0 incorporates various advanced technologies such as Optical Character Recognition (OCR), real-time notifications, smart automation and a dedicated mobile app for applicants.
"It provides a fully digital visa application process, including passport scanning, document uploads, virtual interviews, real-time tracking, eVisa approval with QR codes and interactive support via live chat," the Immigration Department said in a statement on Monday.
It added that the new systems would no longer require applicants abroad to go Malaysian representative offices in other countries.
The ceremony was officiated by Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah on behalf of Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution.

Scam response centre gets major upgrade to fight menace
KUALA LUMPUR: With scam-related losses climbing to RM1.5 billion and the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) fielding up to 500 calls a day, the government is ramping it up with a major operational upgrade. In September, the NSRC will relocate to a larger, purpose-built facility in Cyberjaya. Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution said the move will allow the centre to function more effectively with increased staffing and better support mechanisms. 'Alongside enforcement improvements and legislative amendments, public awareness programmes will be intensified to address the increasingly complex nature of scams,' he said during a press conference yesterday. Saifuddin said the new facility offers a more spacious, accurate and conducive working environment which will allow the centre to centralise its key operations. He added that the premises will be equipped with all necessary components, including a physical complaints counter. 'Currently, NSRC operations are supported by the police and other partner agencies. In the initial phase, 40 personnel from the Commercial Crime Investigation Department will be assigned to the centre. We are aware of the staffing shortage within the commercial crime unit, but we are making use of internal resources as a temporary measure.' He added as of now, 18 officers are handling calls simultaneously, and this number will be increased in stages to meet growing demand. 'The move will also involve the addition of 139 officers and greater inter-agency collaboration. At present, the centre operates with four core agencies but two more – the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry and the Securities Commission Malaysia – will soon come on board.' Saifuddin said the government amended several laws last year, including introducing Sections 424A and 424B in the Penal Code to increase penalties – with fines raised from RM1,000 to RM10,000. 'In the past, only an inspector could freeze an account under the Criminal Procedure Code, but now a sergeant has that authority. We've simplified the process,' he added. Saifudin highlighted that the centre's mechanisms will also be improved, including the ability to handle calls in four major languages – Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mandarin and Tamil – to better serve the public. He said complaints received by NSRC fall into two categories: general inquiries and real scam cases, the latter involving financial fraud, such as online scams, phishing or malware. 'The pattern of victims includes pensioners who have lost their retirement savings and working professionals. These are real financial crimes affecting everyday Malaysians. The centre operates 24/7 to respond to public complaints but the convention enables 24/7 cooperation at the international level, facilitating intelligence exchange when cross-border incidents occur.' He also announced that Malaysia is set to sign the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime in Vietnam at the end of October, a move that will strengthen real-time information sharing between countries. Saifuddin added that the upcoming Asean Ministerial Meeting on security in September will list online scams as one of its 10 key agenda items, with emphasis on capacity building, intelligence sharing and coordinated operations among member states. 'We will also intensify awareness campaigns as cybercrime is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Enforcement, prevention and legislative updates must go hand in hand to ensure our efforts to combat scams and fraudulent activities are truly effective.'

Systems failure : Time for government to hire experts
Once again, we are witnessing an embarrassing failure of government procurement and implementation. The most recent examples, KLIA's RM1 billion autogate system and the much-hyped Aerotrain replacement, expose a deeper, long-standing structural flaw in how our government handles large-scale technology and infrastructure contracts. They are symptoms of a systemic failure that repeats itself over and over, costing taxpayers billions with little accountability or reform. The more than RM1 billion autogate system, which failed to deliver in the first tender, was re-tendered and awarded to a government-friendly party. Implemented at both KLIA and the Johor-Singapore Causeway, it malfunctioned within days of being put into use. The system, which is meant to ease immigration clearance, failed to perform its basic function, leaving thousands of passengers stranded and confused; leaving a poor impression on visitors and our southern neighbour. This comes on the heels of the KLIA Aerotrain fiasco, which broke down after just one day of public operation. What these failures have in common is glaring: they were systems outsourced to private corporations, supplied by external vendors, but managed without any real in-house expertise from the government. The departments including the Immigration Department, Border Control Agency, and MAHB, appear to lack qualified technical personnel who can critically evaluate, test and intervene when problems arise. How is it that such expensive, high-profile systems were allowed to go live without robust pre-commissioning and testing? And where were the internal checks and balances to ensure proper oversight? In both cases, the root problem is not just technical, it's governance. These systems were meant to be commissioned and run by supposed "experts" from corporate vendors. But the moment something fails, the government scrambles, unable to diagnose or even understand the extent of the problem without going back to the same vendors. This outsourcing dependency model, without internal technical validation, is a disaster waiting to happen, again and again. The pattern is now depressingly familiar. We saw it in the Navy's Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project, where billions were paid out for ships that never sailed. Helicopters for the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) were ordered but never delivered. School IT systems under the Ministry of Education were installed but never properly functioned. And then there's MEX2, the infamous highway fiasco that never saw the light of day due to lack of oversight and strict financial controls. Despite these high-profile failures, we seemed determined to repeat the same mistakes: awarding billion-ringgit contracts without building the internal capacity to monitor, supervise, and hold suppliers and vendors accountable. The solution is not complicated, but it does require political will. The government must begin hiring, or at least contracting, independent technical experts, who can represent public interest in these massive procurement exercises. These professionals known as subject matter experts (or SMEs) such as engineers, IT or systems experts, traffic and transport experts, including project managers, must be hired or embedded within ministries and tasked with reviewing system designs, pre-tender review, verifying delivery milestones, auditing implementation processes, and ensuring proper testing before any public rollout. Without this layer of internal scrutiny, the government is simply signing blank cheques and hoping for the best. There is no reason why such oversight cannot be put in place. It doesn't cost much, certainly much cheaper than failing costs, bad publicity and poor reputation. In fact, many developed nations require project proponents to undergo third-party system verification and independent quality audits before deployment. Yet in Malaysia, such measures are almost always bypassed, either due to ignorance, arrogance, or worse, vested interests. We need a permanent, institutionalised mechanism, a "Government Technical Oversight Unit", perhaps, tasked solely with protecting public interest in all large-scale contracts. Whether it is defence procurement, transport infrastructure, or digital systems, this body must be empowered to question suppliers, halt faulty implementations, and report directly to Parliament or the Auditor-General. Until such a policy is implemented, Malaysians should brace for more of the same: billion-ringgit contracts that fail to deliver, with no one held accountable, and no lessons learned. It is time the government starts building the technical expertise to safeguard national interest. There should be an independent, third party review on large scale government procurement such as: * Penang LRT * Leasing of locomotives and coaches from China * Leasing of Augusta Westland helicopters by the defence ministry * MRT3 proposal. Given that the government has to borrow more to fund these projects, this raises concerns over the rising government debt that has now surpassed the trillion ringgit mark, representing almost 70 per cent of our GDP. These projects are likely candidates to go wrong and will likely get singled out by the Auditor General in a couple of years from now. Kuala Lumpur

MyVisa 2.0 to elevate Immigration digital services
Ever-ready team: Elite Immigration enforcement personnel conducting a drill showcasing their operational capabilities. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star PUTRAJAYA: Enhanced digital service delivery from the Immigration Department for electronic visa applications is in the pipeline with the launch of MyVisa 2.0. The upgraded system was launched yesterday in conjunction with the 103rd Immigration Day celebrations and is slated for rollout on Aug 1. 'It is an enhanced version of the original MyVisa system introduced on Dec 1, 2021. The new system has been developed as an integrated digital visa platform, offering faster, safer and more efficient application experiences, in line with the expectations of citizens and international visitors who prioritise convenience in public services. 'MyVisa 2.0 incorporates various advanced technologies such as Optical Character Recognition, real-time notifications, smart automation and a dedicated mobile app for applicants. 'It provides a fully digital visa application process, including passport scanning, document uploads, virtual interviews, real-time tracking, eVisa approval with QR codes and interactive support via live chat,' the department said in a statement yesterday. It added that the new system will no longer require applicants to head to the Malaysian Representative Offices abroad. The 103rd Immigration Day celebration ceremony was launched by Deputy Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah on behalf of Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution. He left the event before its conclusion to attend another meeting. Earlier, Saifuddin Nasution said the country is still behind despite embracing artificial intelligence (AI). 'Today, we embrace AI, but we are still three years behind. 'But if we don't start now, we will be 30 years behind,' he said in his opening speech. The minister urged the department to send officers for AI training at local universities. 'Send personnel to local public universities such as UKM and UiTM in batches. 'Give them the opportunity to attend one- to two-week courses to gain knowledge of AI and develop the skills needed to use AI tools, which are evolving rapidly day by day.' Saifuddin Nasution also urged the Immigration Department to increase its commitment to combating graft within its ranks. 'With reforms anchored on efficient governance, strengthened integrity and impactful service delivery, I hope the department will uphold a zero-tolerance policy against corruption,' he said.
