E-Government in Malaysia: Its implementation so far and citizen’s adoption strategies.

The Electronic Government initiative in Malaysia was launched to lead the country into the Information Age. It has improved both how the government operates internally as well as how it delivers services to the people of Malaysia. It seeks to improve the convenience, accessibility and quality of interactions with citizens and businesses; simultaneously, it will improve information flows and processes within government to improve the speed and quality of policy development, coordination and enforcement.

Current applications of e-Government in Malaysia such as
1. e-Filling- Renewing Road Tax
2. Driving License online,
3. KWSP’s i-Akaun
4 .E-Perolehan

Common problems encountered by consumers

1. Security and privacy – consumer maybe worry about their private personal data and the tax return can see by others.


2. Credibility – how accuracy of the e filing system and how to ensure that the system will not make the mistake?

3.Technological knowledge – some of the people maybe don’t have the technological knowledge. So they maybe don’t how to use the e government application via internet.

Suggest ways to encourage more citizens to use the e-government applications
