As the lead agency for MGPWA, Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) proffers our profound gratitude and acknowledgment to all the agencies that have collaborated and participated in undertaking the MGPWA exercise. In particular, we would like to accentuate the dedication and tireless effort of several key agencies, namely: • Electronic Government Development and Management Division (BPPEG) from Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU); • Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovations (MOSTI); • Public Service Department of Malaysia; and • Economic Planning Unit (EPU). © Multimedia Development Corporation 2013 Page 6 of 200 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2005, Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) launched the first Malaysia Government Portals and Websites Assessment (MGPWA) with the aim to provide a “check-and-balance” assessment that not only offers the agencies a score-card of their online presence but also as a guidance to improve their services to serve the public effectively. MGPWA has been conducted annually with the exception of the year 2008, and the reports are issued to all the agencies identified by the Government. After seven years, the MGPWA 2013 remains a significant initiative as a means to guide various types of Government agencies to improve their service delivery via portals and websites. In addition, the MGPWA initiative has played the role of an advocator for more agencies to expand its online government services. To ensure that the MGPWA 2013 is up-to-date and remains relevant, MDeC with the support and advice from the Technical Working Group (TWG) comprised of MAMPU, MOSTI, PSD and EPU have made several key changes to the assessment criteria. In a nutshell, the changes are as follows: (i) Introduction of new criteria: Sub-agencies Gateway; Loading Time; Logging In; Copyright; and Disclaimer (ii) Enhancement of existing criteria: Number of Online Services; New Media; Contact Details; and Feedback Mechanism (iii) Elimination of criteria: Link to MSC Malaysia; Support Link; and Digital Certificate / Trust Mark The TWG have also deliberated and revised the scope of assessment as described below: (i) Format
