Purpose:

MyEG eServices is part of the MSC Flagship application of Malaysia’s Multimedia Supercorridor (MSC) initiative, which is intended to allow a tighter and closer interaction between the Malaysian Government and the citizens of Malaysia. The first 2 applications to rollout on the site are Billing Manager and Summons Manager.
The Billing Manager, is designed to help us manage, view and pay our bills at any given time of the day without the hassle of traffic congestion, stamps and long queues, and parking problems.
The Summons Manager, on the other hand, helps us to view and pay our JPJ and PDRM summons and check our KEJARA points in the most convenient way.

Experience:

I´m a frequent user of Myeg because it frees my time from queueing to get my road tax or insurance renewed. Compared to other road tax renewal services, Myeg´s interface is easy to use. It also has a payment gateway, which is great.
This is a glimpse of what Government service could have been if MSC really went ahead. Can you imagine the hassle if Myeg was not available and traffic offenders had to go all the way to Bukit Aman to settle their fines?
