PM targets 95% digital federal services by 2030
Speaking in Parliament during the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (RMK13), Anwar said the MyDigital ID will serve as a secure, single digital identity to facilitate online access to various public services.
'A unified public sector gateway will also be developed as a one-stop platform to simplify dealings with government agencies,' he said.
To support this transformation, the government will enforce the Government Service Efficiency Commitment Act 2025 (Akta Iltizam).
'This is part of our effort to reduce the regulatory burden that has long hampered the public and the business community,' Anwar said.
He added that integrity-based governance reforms are already showing results.
'Malaysia's image has improved significantly. We've jumped 11 spots to 23rd in the 2025 World Competitiveness Index,' he said.
The achievement was backed by efforts such as the Akta Iltizam, the formation of the STAR special task force, and the Public Service Reform Agenda.
By 2030, the government aims for 95% of federal services to be delivered fully online.
'With this targeted and sustained approach, we believe Malaysia can stand tall as a high-income nation powered by AI and digital technology,' Anwar added.

PM Anwar visits comedian Amir Raja Lawak, offers support for ailing father
KOTA BHARU, Aug 9 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today spent about 30 minutes visiting popular comedian Mohammad Amirullah Azmi, better known as Amir Raja Lawak, at the latter's shop near the Sultan Muhammad IV Stadium, here. Anwar was accompanied by Kelantan Menteri Besar Datuk Mohd Nassuruddin Daud. During the meeting with Amir, 39, Anwar expressed concern for the comedian's father, who is undergoing treatment for colon cancer at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), in Kubang Kerian. As a gesture of support, Anwar and Mohd Nassuruddin presented a cash donation to Amir. The visit followed Amir's Facebook post yesterday, in which he expressed his wish to meet the Prime Minister. Meanwhile, Amir expressed his gratitude and said he was deeply moved to meet Anwar. 'I only posted on Facebook because I knew the Prime Minister would be attending the closing ceremony of the PMR (MADANI Rakyat Programme) near my shop. 'I asked who was arranging for his (Anwar's) presence, and I didn't think the Prime Minister himself knew about my problem. Amir said that he was informed by the Prime Minister's political secretary Datuk Farhan Fauzi yesterday, that Anwar would be stopping by his shop. 'I am very grateful and surprised. I thought that only the Prime Minister would be present, but many other senior leaders were there as well,' he said. — Bernama
