“MySejahtera owned by private entity?”: Netizens raise alarm over possible regulation breach

WITH news going around that the Government is mulling to sell the MySejahtera app to a private entity, netizens took to social media to decry the move as it contains personal data of multitudes of Malaysians.

Netizen Kalai Vani Maniam retorted:

Earlier today, Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim raised alarm over the MySejahtera app being sold to a private company, which was agreed upon by the Cabinet on Nov 26 via direct negotiation.  

During a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting in December last year, the committee had recommended for the Government to take over the app, without incurring any additional costs as it has become an integral part of the national health system. 

“The Health Ministry officers who testified in front of the PAC claimed that MySJ Sdn. Bhd. is not related to KPISoft, the company which built MySejahtera as a corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative.  

“KPISoft has since changed its name to Entomo.  The claim that there is no relation between KPISoft/Entomo and MYSJ Sdn. Bhd must be scrutinised,” Anwar added.  

Can we uninstall it then?  

The Port Dickson MP also added that the directors of MySJ include individuals with connections to the ruling Government such as former Sapura Energy CEO Tan Sri Shahril Shamsuddin and Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia leader Tan Sri Megat Najmuddin.  

Unable to stomach the latest development, user Seniman Pemberontak said that the people must consider filing a class action suit against it.  

Netizen Azam Abdullah quired: “If mysejahtera is under a private entity, shouldn’t we, the public, has the right to not use it and even uninstall it?” – March 27, 2022
