THE Malaysian Health Coalition (MHC) is concerned over recent reports on the ownership and operations of the MySejahtera app. We welcome the Health Minister’s official statement regarding the ownership of MySejahtera (issued on March 27), but we also note the recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee for the government to “take over the operations of the MySejahtera application without involving any additional costs.”
The importance of a centralised national contact tracing application in managing Covid-19 cannot be underscored, hence we urge the government to safeguard the ownership of MySejahtera.
