Answering the LIES towards MyEG

Teresa Kok and Johari Bedul made several misleading and untrue allegations against MyEG. 

1. THE LIES: MyEG will not disburse the money paid meant for Ketua Imigresen

THE TRUTH:  MyEG collected money on behalf of Government for the past 14 years for roadtax, driver’s license, police summons and many other services. 

They are supposed to remit to the Accountant General on the very same day. Government impose a bond deposit to ensure MyEG comply. They can't even take advantage of the float for interest income.

Over the years, some RM20 billion have been collected and remitted efficiently. So why only concern now? To divert the pressure on Ngeh and Nga?

2. THE LIES: MyEG charges are unnecessary, overcharging and forcing public to subscribe to their insurance services.

THE TRUTH: MyEG does not charge any additional amount if insurance is not purchased through us. 

Actually, they will end up doing more work since it require verifying the insurance details with the insurance principals. There had been many cases of fake insurance documents. 

The extra RM20 fee is only an OPTIONAL fee. It is only for user who want MyEG services to make appointments for FOMEMA. 

3. THE LIES: Why must MyEG be given monopoly for online Govt payment on foreign workers permit?

THE TRUTH: MyEG's task is to create and compile a centralised database of legal and iIlegal foreign workers; employers of legal workers,  employer not knowing they are being used to register illegal foreign workers and employers of illegal foreign workers.

This entail MyEG to visit the offices of all the employers to verify the existence of their office and capture biometric identification of their authorised representative.  

For the database to be clean and comprehensive, one party has to be responsible for it. However, the database belongs to the Immigration Dept and not MyEG.

Can that get done efficiently when there is many hands in the soup? To do that it needs a dedicated outfit to do it.
