MyGov Malaysia digital gateway app for govt services to be launched in July
PUTRAJAYA: MyGov Malaysia, a single digital gateway app for government services, will be launched in July 2025, says Gobind Singh Deo.
The Digital Minister said the app is part of the nation's government technology (GovTech) initiative, providing Malaysians easy access to various government agencies.
"This is part of the government's plan to transform Malaysia into a digital nation. It is only right to ensure we have a single platform where Malaysians can deal with various government agencies seamlessly," said Gobind.
The MyGov Malaysia mobile application will focus on seven main services – travel (passport-related matters); registration (birth and citizenship); driving (road tax and driving license); healthcare (appointments and medical records); summonses; housing (land tax/assessment rates); and Rahmah Cash Aid, with more features to be added in the near future.
Gobind said MyGov Malaysia would be integrated with MyDigital ID to streamline access to government services via a single, secure platform.
"Users will be able to verify their identity and access multiple services directly through the mobile application using their MyDigital ID credentials. This unified approach not only simplifies user interaction with government platforms but also underpins the broader commitment to digital inclusivity, trust, and service excellence by the Digital Ministry," he said.
As of June 23, a total of 2,604,160 MyDigital ID registrations have been recorded. The integration of the single sign-on will be for 34 main government system applications.

PPP Youth lashes out at criticism of first Malaysian Chinese lieutenant-general
KUALA LUMPUR: PPP Youth has criticised a politician whose now-deleted Facebook post had allegedly criticised the promotion of the nation's first three-star general of Chinese descent. In congratulating Lieutenant-General Johnny Lim Eng Seng, PPP Youth chief Sathiah Sudakaran said the promotion was a recognition of his outstanding service and contributions over 41 years. He said in the conext of Malaysia Madani and a progressive nation, race or religious background should never be the basis for appointments to key national positions. Sathiah said the wing took "serious exception" to the posting of Sungai Buloh Pas chief Zaharuddin Muhammad, for questioning the promotion. "Such a statement not only insults the individual appointed but also tarnishes the dignity of thousands of Malaysians who have contributed to the nation across various sectors, including in defence. "What is more concerning is that the remark indirectly undermines the trust placed by the Malaysian armed forces and questions the wisdom and authority of His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the supreme commander of the armed forces, in making this appointment. "This is not only disrespectful, but can also be seen as incitement and an affront to one of the nation's highest institutions." Sathiah said the authorities must take firm action against remark. "Racial politics must never be used as a tool to sow hatred and division among Malaysians who live in a diverse and multicultural society." Sathiah's statement comes after Armed Forces chief General Tan Sri Mohd Nizam Jaffar had also slammed criticism of Lim's promotion, though he did not mention anyone by name.
