The MSC Malaysia Flagship Applications

The MSC Malaysia Flagship Applications consists seven type of applications:

Electronic Government

The Electronic Government initiative was launched to lead the country into the Information Age. It seeks to improve both how the government operates internally as well as how it delivers services to the people of Malaysia, and to improve the convenience, accessibility and quality of interactions with citizens and businesses. Simultaneously, it seeks to improve information flows and processes within government to improve the speed and quality of policy development, coordination and enforcement. e-Government (from electronic government, also known as e-gov, digital government, online government or in a certain context transformational government) refers to government’s use of information technology to exchange information and services with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. ... e-Government (from electronic government, also known as e-gov, digital government, online government or in a certain context transformational government) refers to government’s use of information technology to exchange information and services with citizens, businesses, and other arms of government. ...

Multipurpose Card

The National Multipurpose Card seeks to develop a single and common platform for a Multipurpose Card (MPC) that will enable the government and private application providers to implement smart card solutions without duplications of effort and investment. Initially, the MPC is implemented through the GMPC and PMPC projects. As a result, MyKad and Bankcard are the products developed for the GMPC and PMPC initiatives. This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

The objectives of the MPC Flagship Application are:

• To provide the government and payment application, and other future applications on a single MPC platform;
• To provide enhanced services to customers; and
• To enhance security and convenience of existing and new applications delivered on the MPC platform.

MyKad is developed by the National Registration Department (JPN) and private ICT developers that create a common platform for smart card solutions. The card is embedded with a security enhanced 64K microprocessor chip that is multifunctional across varying systems. MyKad applications are:

1. National ID.
2. Driving License.
3. Passport Information.
4. Health Information.
5. Touch 'n Go.
6. MEPS Cash.
7. ATM.
8. Public Key Infrastructure.

The GMPC project is developed in two phases – the initial pilot roll-out for an estimated population of 2 millions in the Kuala Lumpur, Klang valley and MSC Malaysia area followed by a national roll-out. The project was successfully implemented with the issuance of 2.59 million people in the Klang Valley as of October 2002. As for the national roll-out (NRO), the project will be extended nationwide, targeted for 2005.

As one of the Multimedia Super Corridor Flagship Applications, the development and implementation of the chip based Bankcard began in 2000 with the Malaysian Electronic Payment System (1997) Sdn. Bhd. (MEPS) at the helm working together with domestic banking institutions. Bank Negara Malaysia served as the lead agency whose primary function is to facilitate the implementation. The Bankcard will spur the vision of promoting electronic payment in the country. Initially the Bankcard will contain three payment applications namely:

1. ATM.
2. e-Debit.
3. MEPS Cash.

The use of Bankcard encourages cashless payment transaction for various sectors e.g. retail, vending machines, car parks and transport and closed community to leverage on Bankcard to use MEPS Cash as the mode of payment. It also encourages participation of business venture in undertaking merchant acquiring business.

Under this initiative of implementing multiple payment applications onto a single smart card, the domestic banking institutions pioneered the chip based electronic purse during the Commonwealth Games (SUKOM) in September 1998. The full implementation of the PMPC project (ATM, e-Debit and MEPS Cash) commenced in early 2001. In August 2002, several domestic banking institutions began their pilot rollout by issuing the Bankcard to their staff and the public. On 28 February 2003, the Bankcard was officially launched.

Smart School

The Malaysian Smart School Flagship was premised on the strong belief that information and communication technology is a key enabler to imparting the learning desire to all. It was implemented on a Pilot basis between 1999 and 2002.

Deemed one of the most forward-looking ICT-mediated learning initiatives in the world, the Smart School Flagship attempts to reinvent the teaching-learning processes.

Since the early 1970s, the Malaysian Government introduced various initiatives to facilitate a wider adoption of ICT to boost capabilities in every field including education. The history of the Smart School Project is rooted in the two-pronged objectives of the flagship, which are:

• To jumpstart the MSC Malaysia towards:
  • Building a knowledge-based economy.
  • Contributing to the growth of the ICT industry.
  • Creating a pool of talent resulting in high-value job creation.
• To prepare the citizens for the information age through an innovative education delivery process.

The Concept Requests for Proposals (CRFP) process was used for the first time ever in the country to establish partnerships between the government of Malaysia and the private sector to help conceptualise plan and implement the Flagship Applications of the Multimedia Super Corridor. In July 1997, the Prime Minister launched the Smart School Flagship Application documents to invite proposals for solutions from the private sector within and outside the country.

Telehealth

The Telehealth initiative aims to keep people in the ‘wellness’ paradigm, through the seamless availability of health information and virtual health services thus transforming the way healthcare services are delivered and accessed. Definition of Telehealth is a multimedia network linking all players to provide products and services in health care.

The four Telehealth Flagship Application pilot projects are:

1. Teleconsultation (TC).
2. Mass Customised / Personalised Health Information and Education (MCPHIE).
3. Lifetime Health Plan (LHP).
4. Continuing Medical Education (CME).

Research and Development Clusters

MSC Malaysia’s Research and Development Cluster (R&D) flagship aims to realise the MSC Malaysia as a global hub and preferred location for innovative global R&D centres. This will also require forging collaborative R&D efforts among leading-edge corporations, public research institutions and universities.

To catalyse R&D activities in the MSC Malaysia, the following programs have been initiated:

1. Strategic Thrust Areas in Research (STAR).
2. MSC Malaysia R&D Grant Scheme (MGS).
3. MSC Malaysia Technology Forum Series.
4. Collaborative R&D efforts between firms, universities and research institutes.

E-Business

The E-Business cluster aims to shape an Electronic Business environment competitive with the major economic powers. This cluster has an enormous potential market that could be one of the driving forces for future economic growth.

Its objective is to transform the way in which business was conducted - it enables businesses to become more adaptive and responsive. The E-Biz aims to provide more efficient and better quality services to the community, and encourage the business and community to accept electronic business as an integral part of their daily lives.

Technopreneur Development

Since 1996, one of the MSC Malaysia’s key strategic thrusts has been emphasized on the development of Malaysian ICT Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) through its strategy to catalyze a highly competitive cluster of Malaysian ICT / Multimedia and other strategic high technology companies that will which can become world-class over time. The SMEs are seen as substantial contributors to economic growth as they create new wealth and job opportunities in the knowledge-based economy. As a result of MSC Malaysia initiatives, as of 31 July 2005, there were 3,413 Malaysian ICT SMEs compared to less than 300 in 1996.

In recognising the need to further enhance the MSC Malaysia’s efforts to develop Malaysian SMEs in the ICT and other strategic high technology industries, such as ICT, Multimedia,Biotechnology and other life science industries,the Government launched the Technopreneur Development Flagship (TDF) in November 2001. The lead agency driving the Flagship is the Ministry of Energy, Communications and Multimedia with Multimedia Development Corporation acting as the implementing agency for the Flagship.

The core objectives of the Flagship are to:

1. To spawn and nurture a critical mass of strategic high technology industries such as ICT, M, Biotechnology and other life science start-ups.
2. To facilitate the growth of existing ICT SMEs into world-class companies.
