Review: Official Malaysian (Government) Website
What caught my eyes was the public complain, we can actually complain about the government and the government has provided a means for that. So does that mean we can tell the government about possible corruption by VIPs, poor management, useless policy, rising oil prices and why did Barcelona win the Champions League. Eager to make the world a better place I clicked at the option so fast that no evolution actually manages to occur in that split moment. I was very exited with the prospect to be able to complain about a certain
Ok fine, I click back to homepage and try another link that can some how convince me the government is trying to combat corruption. So went to see the government tenders. Hoping to see tons and tons of tender here especially since RM-9 has just been announced, NOT!!! There were only 2 bloody tender categories available!! I understand if some of the tender are not listed for tender due to the nature of the project wouldn’t it still make more sense for the Government to show the respective status of tender (more transparency remember?). Of course I am not expecting it to be filled with tender information those stuff as confidential anyway but a least I would like to know who tendered for them and who got them, right? Maybe just maybe informing us why they got it, a general information will do like company A won the tender because they offered the lowest price or company B got the project because so and so son in law is a share holder.
Yes fellow readers (if any), the government is actively combating corruption as we can all see and they are using the internet as well. At least for this they are censoring the content as they say they would. Admitedly I did not surf the whole site but I lost interest and felt disgusted by just these few links. Final score 2/10 (round up number).

one thing for sure is why the gov wanted us to put down our id is because they wanted to trace people who spam and hack and etc....make insensitive comment.
I agree with you too that putting our id's will be a problem for everyone to complain.
Well who releases statictics, there might be an error in statistic too rite ;) cheers...
