Madani kiosks providing vast government services a big hit
KUALA LUMPUR: The Kiosk Sentuhan Madani has seen 'remarkable' success, with usage at the inaugural kiosk in Alamanda, Putrajaya increasing by over 40 per cent in two months. "In January 2025, the kiosk served 4,600 users and by March, this number had surged to 6,600. "This remarkable growth highlights the public's enthusiasm for accessible and efficient government services," said Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo at the launch of the third kiosk in 1 Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya. Gobind said the second kiosk at KL Sentral had recorded 5,000 users in its first month of operation. Chief secretary Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar said the next installation is planned for Plaza Angsana in Johor Bahru by August. He added that the government aimed to open more kiosks in the main cities by 2030. The expansion aligns with the government's aim to serve the public at strategic and high-traffic locations to ease the public. The Sentuhan Madani kiosks, spearheaded by Gobind, have been designed to deliver over 100 services. This includes official document applications, bill payments and account services under one roof. The services are offered through kiosks managed by agencies such as KWSP, ASNB, MyDigital ID, TM Unifi and Pos Malaysia, with strategic partners like TM One and Digital Nasional Bhd providing 5G connectivity to support seamless operations. These digital hubs offer extended hours aligned with the shopping centre's operating times, providing greater flexibility compared to traditional offices and meeting the needs of busy citizens. "This initiative highlights a whole-of-nation approach, with collaboration between government agencies, the private sector and local corporations," said Gobind. The kiosks are also constantly evolving with new features such as debit card payments, zakat contributions and transaction continuity even during system outages.

Third Sentuhan Madani kiosk opens at 1 Utama's old wing with over 100 govt services including JPJ, EPF, ASNB, TM Unifi
PETALING JAYA, May 8 — The third Sentuhan Madani Kiosk, offering access to over 100 government digital services, was officially launched today at 1 Utama Shopping Centre. Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said that the shopping centre was chosen as it attracts a high average number of daily visitors from diverse segments of society. 'With its easily accessible location for visitors from the Klang Valley and surrounding areas, this kiosk has the potential to benefit even more members of the public,' he said in his speech at the launch of the kiosk at the Centre Court of 1 Utama's Old Wing here. 'So, it's not because it's under my constituency,' he added in jest. Gobind said the extended operating hours of the shopping centre, including weekends and public holidays, offer greater flexibility for the public to manage government-related matters without being limited to office hours. The six kiosks are located on Level 2 of 1 Utama's Old Wing, in front of the Wondermama restaurant and Le Creuset store. It operates daily from 10am to 10pm, and supported by six supervising agencies including the Road Transport Department (JPJ), MyDigital ID, Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Amanah Saham Nasional Berhad (ASNB), Pos Malaysia, and the latest addition, TM Unifi. The services offered are similar to those available online and at government departments. In January, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim launched the first Sentuhan Madani kiosk at Alamanda shopping mall in Putrajaya and Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook launched the second one in KL Sentral.
