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

Malaysia has improved vastly on its ranking worldwide. From number 157 to number 25, that’s a great jump in fact! We, as citizens of Malaysia, feel the change and have done ourselves a great deal of changes too, to adapt to this newly introduced technology. It has helped us is a lot of ways, and made our lives so much easier.

Some of the successful implementations include government’s drive for e-government services, Electronic Labour Exchange, SMS alert on e-government services, online renewal of driving licenses, Electronic filing of income tax forms, voter information, details for government tenders and employment opportunities. All these have in deed made our lives so much easier and advance. Things have been so much efficient compared to before.

However, despite the success, there are bound to have failures. There are a few unsuccessful start-ups, which maybe the government are doing something about it to improve or make it happen.

We as the people who are using such services, we have made a vast improvement on ourselves regarding our knowledge on these technologies. Internet has been an essential part of our lives, and we use them for almost everything if possible. To pay our tax, to renew our license or any membership, banking and also our bookings for flights and rooms, these are all the activities that we can do just with a click of the finger, no car driving, no jams and most of all, no waiting!
