MYEG IN FIRST OVERSEAS VENTURE IN KAZAKHSTAN

KUALA LUMPUR, June 8 2011 (Bernama) -- MY E.G. Services Bhd (MyEG), the e-government services provider, Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding with Kazakhstan's National Information Technologies JSC (NIT) to jointly introduce e-government services in that country.

In a statement Wednesday, MyEG said its first overseas venture would leverage on its experience in delivering online government services in Malaysia to help NIT build Kazakhstan's national information technology infrastructure.

The signing ceremony, witnessed by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak Tun Razak, who is on a four-day official visit to Kazakhstan, and his counterpart Karim Massimov, was held in conjunction with the World Islamic Economic Forum.

MyEG's Executive Chairman Datuk Dr Norraesah Mohamad said MyEG had developed its expertise and has a track record in providing online public services which could be potentially applied to other markets.

"We are excited by the opportunities presented by this collaboration given that it marks our first venture overseas.

"We hope this mutually-beneficial venture would result in a substantial source of additional revenue from overseas for MyEG and diversify our earnings base in the long-run," she said.

Both parties hope to see the outcome of the collaboration after a year.
