KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 — Downloads of the MyGOV app have jumped 200 per cent, reaching 1.57 million new users as of yesterday, up from just 437,000 in December.
Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo said the surge reflects strong interest among Malaysians, with the app now offering 44 services across 16 government agencies.
He added that the rise in downloads was also fueled by features allowing users to check the status of Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah and unclaimed funds.
“The integration of additional services will continue in phases, prioritising high-impact and widely used public services, including app and payment features. This year, over 30 new services are set to be added to the MyGOV app,” Gobind said during Ministerial Question Time in Parliament today.
He was responding to a question from Tan Hong Pin (PH-Bakri) on whether the government plans to create a super app consolidating all government transactions, replacing the various individual apps currently used by different agencies.
Regarding the cost of developing MyGOV, Gobind explained that the platform was built in-house by government experts using existing platforms and infrastructure under current initiatives.
