In the PAC report on the MySejahtera application published this morning, it was found that the Government did not use the correct channels when awarding the application development contract to KPISoft. Some more interesting information has been made public for the first time. First of all, the operational cost of using Google API and sending SMS notifications to users costs RM 9,317,142.21.
This is used to cover the cost of third-party services through the Google API to display the hotspots of the Covid-19 outbreak through Google Maps and for vaccination registration. Meanwhile, the SMS service payment is for reminder notifications for appointments and also the results of the COVID-19 examination and if there is an issue of forgetting the MySejahtera password.
MySejahtera has also been downloaded over 38 million times so far with over 13 billion premises check-ins recorded. A total of 80 million positive and negative Covid-19 test results have been uploaded using the application.
