RM 38 x 2 million + = extra revenue by simply "change of policy".
Somemore, under the MyEG renewal, IG must be bought through them, not to mention insurance cover that optional bundled when renewing time.
Encourage to renew through MyeG, save time on travelling, ok.
But compulsory must through them is another story.
Employer still need to go through hassle of register account with MyeG before can renew worker permit with them.
Mind that MYeg is not a gov entity, in the process of registration, company info, thumbprint will be obtained by a private company.
I don't think gov job should be outsourced to a private entity. Somemore, Malaysia currently is one of high gov servant vs population ratio.
For SME, sometimes it may be cheaper and hassle free for employer to renew the permit themselves through the counter.
GST already increased the workload of clerical job, now extra another job, not to mention EPF also need to submit online.
Online sometimes /= hassle free.
Another burden of keeping user name, password, clerical job.
Clerks may demand increase in pay...

Bro,
Have you been to any of them (imigresen) to do the renewal process? I can tell you, it has gone from worse to worst. If paying more will solve problem, you would rather pay. Its really that annoying nowadays. At the height of this mess, I actually filed a complaint with BPA (Biro Pengaduan Awam, directly under Jabatan Perdana Menteri) regarding the ridiculous 3months long appointment date at Jalan Duta branch. Even then there were no answer and they could only offer me "POSLAJU" for my case to settle the complaint.
The situation now:
Putrajaya :-
1-5 passports -- Drop today and return tomorrow (not confirm will complete, need to wait for them to call after wrote your company name)
>5 passports -- Wait a week (but was told by others that they waited for more than 2 weeks with no answer
Jalan Duta :-
Queue numbers will be distributed to those who queue. Queue start at 7AM, numbers distributed around 8AM, and once reach the end of queue, no more numbers will be given. Troublesome for me since I had to fetch kids to school and wife to work. Especially annoying if they had system down and had to queue again the next day.
Shah Alam :-
Same with Jalan Duta.
I believe this may well be the best answer yet, unfortunately. In the end of the day, its the workers who paid the extra, not employers (although my boss did paid for our employees since we only had few). Our agent want RM100 per passport for the same damn job.
The registration process (as explained to me) was relatively simple. You just need to certify true copy company registration, employer IC, representative IC (if any) and make an appointment with MYEG who will sent man over to collect your thumbprint. Actually I had hoped that they required employer to buy a thumbprint scanner so that worker need to scan their thumb to register for renewal. I believe this would close the loopholes for runaway workers but wont be done as it will provide "additional" income.
