Three of these public information systems projects were implemented to address the government to citizen and government to government interactions while one project was deployed to fulfill the need for government to business interactions. Empirical studies from the users’ perspective showed that the implementation of PIS can be regarded as successful.

This paper is intended to discuss various public information systems projects that were undertaken by the Malaysian government as part of its e-government effort
