myGovernment website now fully operational

Sarban Singh GEORGE TOWN, Apr 10:

A mind-boggling 2,460 forms can now be downloaded from the new myGovernment Public Service portal, the one-stop source for government information and services that is finally fully operational.

The idea to have the portal was raised five years ago, but till a few months ago only limited information was available online.

In both English and Bahasa Malaysia, the portal now allows users to download forms for a variety of reasons ranging from lodging a complaint of a dog bite to allowing users to check the status of EPF applications and to view their accounts online.

"The myGovernment portal simplifies the process of finding specific government-related information and enables the public and businesses to better communicate and interact with the Government," reads a statement on the portal.

"It also provides the public the added convenience of interacting with the Government via the Internet, thereby avoiding unnecessary trips to government offices.

"Previously, the public could access some of these functions through the Malaysian Civil Service Link (MCSL) website.A user can choose information according to groupings provided, including for citizens, businesses and Government. Each sector is linked to the websites of more than 700 government agencies.

Users can also apply for jobs via the Electronic Labour Exchange and access the e-library, which has hundreds of thousands of publications stored in the archives of the National Library and the Malaysian Centre For Remote Sensing (MACRES) Library, Malaysian Cocoa Board e-library and Malaysian National Digital Library (MyLib).

The portal also uploads information on government-related events and notices
