MyKiosk: A major white elephant and a failure in public fund management


The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission’s (MACC) recent governance recommendations on the MyKiosk programme have confirmed what MCA Youth warned from the very beginning - this project was deeply flawed in its planning, execution and oversight.

Today, MyKiosk stands as a clear white elephant project. Across the country, kiosks remain empty, underutilised or commercially unviable. Public funds were poured into physical structures without proper demand studies, feasibility assessments or location planning. What was promised as an initiative to uplift small traders has instead resulted in idle units and wasted resources.
