Statistics compiled by the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (MAMPU), which developed and now maintains the portal, show that out of the top five online services visited by the public, three were those linked to job applications.
Ahead of them is RISDA (Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority), which registered 539,801 hits for vacant positions in the agency.
This was closely followed by the 202,256 hits recorded by the Human Resources Ministry via its electronic job finder website Electronic Labour Exchange.
Another hot site on the www.gov.my website is that of the Public Service Commission an impressive 182,432 hits ensured the department fourth placing among those ranked.
The Road Transport Department which had 200,647 hits by the public to mainly check and pay traffic summonses and the Employees' Provident Fund which recorded 106,206 hits on account statement enquiries rounded up the top five. Naturally, the top five downloaded forms charted by the www.gov.my portal were forms for job applications.
Holding on to the first spot was the local government department (23, 243 hits), with the Internal Revenue Board hot on its heels (14,455 hits) RISDA (13,869 hits), Majlis Amanah Rakyat or MARA (1,320 hits) and
The www.gov.my portal has seen a ten-fold increase in activity in just six months. In October 2006 there were only 28, 292 accesses detected for online services per month.
By March this year however, the figure rose to 296357 accesses.
This is a clear indication that waiting in line for public services will soon be a thing of the past.
The number of visits to the portal each month and the number of page hits have also gone up within the same period - from 173,496 to 269,482 visits and from 12.8mil to 21.8mil page hits respectively. Average daily visits now stand at 8,693 from that of 5,597 previously.
According to the profile, Mondays are the busiest days - the portal records the most activity and visits on Mondays.
This is usually the case as most people start their working week on Monday. Tuesdays and Thursdays tie for the second busiest day.
And the busiest month for the portal? November!
Last year, there were 477, 539 accesses for online services in November, a spike that even surpassed figures recorded recently.
There were 49.6mil page hits; an average of 12,204 visits daily and 477,539 accesses into its online services in that month alone.
And, while the usual number of accesses for the forms posted on the www.gov.my portal are about 100 a month, the figure rose almost three-fold to 3,381 accesses in November.
Why does November see such a heavy usage of the portal?
Government official attributed the massive traffic to those seeking for information on job vacancies in government departments and agencies.
The next time you are thinking of looking for a job, it would probably be a better idea to let your 'mouse' to do the searching for you.
