There will be many local eyes focused on Sinkies going to JB. No it's not scaremongering. Snatch thieves, car thieves all waiting with welcome hands at the arrival of Sinkies. Lest not forget, Fasting month coming soon and then Hari Raya. Traffic Cops and local criminals alike hoping to earn extra cash for Hari Raya. I would rather let things stabilised first before going there even though I'm myself am tempted by the numerous Telegram messages that my regular JB OKT has sent me on a weekly basis informing me of his Siam Bus new stock.
I kenna once from the mutt traffic police on Hari raya day itself. They deliberately blocked the exit of a two way road (left) so you are forced to drive out from the right. And the fuckers were smiling and waving me to stop. That road was just next to the petrol station. They let me off with after a 100 ringgit bribe and admitted sheepishly it's Hari Raya so they need to earn extra.

The mysteries surrounding MySejahtera deals​

https://www.themalaysianinsight.com/s/374495

HOW obscure is the entire deal surrounding MySejahtera that not even high-level officials from the Health Ministry (MOH) and the Ministry of Finance (MOF) share the same understanding of what is happening? Reports of the Public Accounts Commission (PAC) hearing dated March 24 mentioned that Harjeet Singh, deputy secretary-general (finance) of the MOH, told the PAC that KPISoft Sdn Bhd (KPISoft) changed its name to MYSJ Sdn Bhd (MySJ).

At the same time, we also have Rosni Mohd Yusoff, deputy secretary at the government procurement division in MOF, reportedly stating that KPISoft and MYSJ are two different entities.

On a press statement dated March 27, the MOH asserts that the government owns MySejahtera, while mentioning nothing about MySJ. However, later on, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin also pointed out that negotiations with MySJ would not continue should MySJ disagree that the government own the app.

How can MOH assert that the government has “decided” that the MySejahtera application is owned by the government while the ownership is still be in dispute?

If we assume that MySJ has not agreed on the ownership of the app, what is the fate of MySejahtera data?

As reported by CodeBlue, Entomo Malaysia is the owner of “all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property (IP) rights” related to the MySejahtera app, based on a share sale agreement on December 31, 2020. CodeBlue noted that this excludes “trademark and data collected through the operation of MySejahtera” which are owned by the Malaysian government.

It is unclear what are the implications of the Malaysian government owning the data without “all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property (IP) rights” of the MySejahtera app.

Questions arise on the accessibility, privacy, and security of the data which may not be exclusive to the Malaysian government given that another private entity owns all rights.

On this, Khairy said the following: “The data is kept by the government. It’s just that the new company needs to make a new deal in terms of platform maintenance. But we’re also in the process of looking at what services we need for the long term.”

Again, some key questions come to mind. Is the Malaysian government the sole owner or one of the owners? Is the Malaysian government the “only” party that has access to the trademark and data collected through the operation of MySejahtera?

Khairy said the deal for KPISoft/Entomo to transfer ownership of the app’s IP and software licence toMySJ had nothing to do with the government’s latest negotiations.

That doesn’t clarify anything. If anything, it raises more doubt that only the MOH has access to the data gathered and processed by MySejahtera, even if it owns it.

Deals between the government and MySJ cannot override established contracts between MySJ and Entomo. Therefore, if the government has an interest to acquire rights and fights for the ownership of the app and its data, the government is at least indirectly involved in this tripartite mess.

Thus, it is unclear how the government can simply cut out MySJ given that the latter is the recipient of MySejahtera’s IP and software license from Entomo.

The cabinet’s decision on the matter could be a consequence of the original CSR deal, which appears to have “trapped” the government into dealing with whoever KPISoft/Entomo has transferred the ownership of the app’s IP and licence to.

In other words, relying on a CSR deal with only one company in mind was a mistake. It’s reasonable to question if the error was unintentional or planned.

If the government does not mind not owning all rights to MySejahtera so long as it can be the sole owners of the data, does this mean that the government is stuck with some form of agreement with private entities, through licensing or otherwise, instead of wholly owning all rights to MySejahtera perpetually?

Was the government somehow conned by the owners of KPISoft/Entomo and MySJ?


As reported by CodeBlue, the agreement “grants MySJ rights to use the KPISoft software to exclusively develop, own the application trademark for MySejahtera, and test and support the MySejahtera app”, while “all rights, title, and interest in and to the KPISoft software, the trademarks, and the services, among others, shall be retained by KPISoft unless expressly provided otherwise in the agreement”.

Note that having the rights to use the software and owning the application trademark may not be the same as owning the application in its entirety.

Foreign ownership of MySejahtera developers?

On the issue of ownership, CodeBlue also revealed that the Singaporean company Entomo Pte Ltd is listed as the sole shareholder of Entomo Malaysia and that Entomo Pte Ltd’s biggest shareholder is also a Singaporean company.

As a direct consequence, “all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights” related to the MySejahtera app owned by Entomo Malaysia is indirectly owned by a Singaporean entity.

Raveenderen Ramamoothie, one of the founders of KPISoft, and Naveen Prashad Despanden —who are the directors of both KPISoft/Entomo Malaysia and the company Revolusi Asia, which holds the majority share in MySJ, are also reported to be directors of Singapore’s Entomo Pte Ltd, alongside two other Singaporean individuals, Tan Seng Hong and Finian Tan.

However, as revealed by Tech In Asia and The Malaysianist writer Emmanuel Samarathisa, Entomo Pte Ltd’s major shareholder, Singapore-based DreamTeam Inc, is controlled by Malaysians. Reveenderen, who is also reported to be a director of MySJ, and Rekha Mani, one of the directors of Entomo Malaysia, are both directors of DreamTeam Inc.

Emmanuel also revealed that DreamTeam Inc has 16 shareholders consisting of eight Malaysians, one Singaporean, one Indonesian, and six Indians, and that the three largest shareholders of DreamTeam Inc are Raveenderen, Naveen, and Anuar Rozhan.

Recall that Raveenderen and Anuar are the so-called founders of KPISoft/Entomo and both are also directors in MySJ, while all three individuals (Raveenderen, Naveen, and Anuar) have been reported as directors in the company Revolusi Asia, which holds the majority share in MySJ.

Again, we have similar names and the same individuals across companies and international borders, engaging in commercial transactions.

Is this a case of the “right pocket dealing with left pocket, yet somehow, the brain apparently knowns nothing about it”?

Naveen, in particular, appears to be everywhere. The Indian national is reported to be a co-founder and group chief operating officer of Entomo (formerly KPISoft), a director of Singapore’s Entomo Pte Ltd and Revolusi Asia, and also appears to be the second-largest shareholder in DreamTeam Inc—the major shareholding company in Entomo Pte Ltd, which in turn is the sole shareholder of Entomo Malaysia.

Although Malaysians appear to hold the highest number of shares (if we combine Raveen and Anuar’s shares) in DreamTeam Inc, ultimately Entomo Pte Ltd is a company based in Singapore and it has other shareholders from other countries.

CodeBlue reported that Singapore’s Entomo Pte Ltd has 28 shareholders, consisting of Singaporean, American, and Japanese corporate and individual shareholders, and individual shareholders from Malaysia, India, and Indonesia.

Thus, even if Malaysians appear to have the “controlling” stake, by indirect consequence, the ownership of “all rights, title, and interest, including all intellectual property rights” related to the MySejahtera app could be accessible to Singaporean, American, and Japanese corporate and individual shareholders, and individual shareholders from Malaysia, India, and Indonesia.

The sensitive personal data of Malaysians could be at risk of being stolen out of the country, where Malaysia’s Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) holds no jurisdiction.


Khairy was reported to have said that the appointment of KPISoft for the management of MySejahtera app was made by the National Security Council (NSC) early on in the pandemic.

On the confusion over MySJ and KPISoft/Entomo, and as a response to PAC chairman Wong Kah Woh’s query on how the deal gained cabinet approval, Rosni is reported to have said the following:

“Yes, that’s right. Maybe Nacsa (National Cyber Security Agency) is the one who brought this paper, or the NSC. They all didn’t do a thorough check, but no matter, we have instructed MOH to check this issue. If it’s found that this really is inaccurate, then Mr Chairman needs to bring this back to the cabinet”.

According to CodeBlue, KPISoft was appointed to develop MySejahtera by Nacsa, which is under the Prime Minister’s (PM) Department.

Needless to say, the appointment chronology is questionable. Some questions include:

If it was Nacsa, why was it appointed under the PM’s department?

If it was the NSC, then it is still chaired by the PM. How can a public health matter be left to either the NSC or Nacsa? Why wasn’t the Health Ministry involved in the appointment?

If indeed the NSC or Nacsa invited other companies (in addition to KPISoft) to present their proposals, who were these companies and why was KPISoft selected?

If KPISoft was selected, was it mainly because they offered a CSR deal at no cost? What was the offer by the other companies? Even so, how can that be agreed given the importance of ensuring app and data ownership by the Malaysian government?

Whatever the reasons may be, the NSC and Nacsa must conduct the necessary due diligence to uncover the potential risks surrounding data ownership and the clear conflict of interests given similar names appearing on the companies involved.

Where are Malaysia’s capabilities?

Singapore reportedly spent S$13.8 (RM43) million for the development and acquisition of the SafeEntry digital check-in system and TraceTogether app and tokens, while KPISoft/Entomo has reportedly priced MySejahtera’s licensing at RM338 million to MySJ.

The huge gap in cost is the difference between developing it yourself, versus when buying IP and rights from someone else who developed it earlier. One is the development cost, while the other is the commercial price, which usually has built-in profit margins.

Only Entomo can explain what its profit margins are.


Selling IP or ownership of a valuable asset is usually marked up when the company is giving up all its rights to potential future profits, in exchange for a large sum now. That is the understood trade-off.

However, in the case where MySJ was reported to only acquire a licence to KPISoft’s software specifically for MySejahtera “and does not acquire any other rights or ownership interests”, RM338 million may be quite steep, to say the least.

The TraceTogether app was developed by Singapore’s Government Technology Agency with its Health Ministry, reportedly in just over eight weeks and at a fraction of the reported cost to license from Entomo.

Is the pricing fair?

The RM338 million licensing deal and the proposed 15-year scope expansion of MySejahatera for a reported RM138 million annually will require an in-depth analysis of the breakdown of the costs, which has not been provided to the public.

This is also why an open tender for such services by other app developers will give a better idea of the industry landscape to have a better grasp on the fairness of the pricing. Direct negotiation gives no room for comparative analysis.

On this note, a Malaysian software developer released a press statement on March 29 offering to not only replicate MySejahtera but also improve it, for about RM6 million. The company claims that its software can also be enhanced with a geographical information system which can gather data for visualisation and analysis for pandemic management.

There could be many other proposals by other companies if only an open tender was conducted, and if what appeared to be a “CSR trap” didn’t happen.

The price given for extra features (proposed scope expansion) on top of what MySejahtera was initially intended for reportedly may include tracking of other vaccination, management of other infectious diseases (not just Covid), predictive analysis, and integration with other existing government health systems.

The proposed scope expansion is a question for public health experts to determine if it is truly value-adding or not, and to investigate if it can work in practice to really help improve the public health system in the country.

Singaporeans hold off Malaysia trips via land due to confusion over MySejahtera app, travel insurance requirements​

https://www.malaymail.com/news/mala...ia-land-due-to-confusion-over-mysejah/2050673

Residential address requirement

Lim’s first hurdle was registering for an account on the MySejahtera app, which required her to provide a Malaysian residential address. She did not have one since she had no plans to stay in Malaysia.

“They require us to put a Malaysian state, so I just put Johor but typed my Singapore address,” she said. Although she was able to create an account, she is unsure if this would affect her entry into Malaysia.

Latest:

1. Land travelers need not buy travel insurance. However I recommend that travellers buy because you can claim if you are robbed.
2. No tolls for 7 days is a marketing promotion, the congestion will be "MESS"ive.
3. Looks like the direction from Malaysia to Singapore will be more congested after midnight. This morning, many idling cars start to hang around JB customs area, some even park for free at petrol stations because got mini-marts and toilets to use.

Unlikely rape. In the past two years, a lot of lonely Malaysian chinese cunts can't meet their lovers from China and Singapore, sleeping around cheaply to make a living.

So better buy insurance to claim for robbery and hospitalization.

This Mysejahtera app is fucking stupid. How they expect Sinkies to register when the app requires a Malaysian address? Can I register under Mahathir's house address?
