Selangkah Ventures

What Selangkah Ventures does

Selangkah Ventures Sdn Bhd (Company No: 1379166-D) is a Malaysian private limited company headquartered in Shah Alam and incorporated in 2020 as a subsidiary of Selgate Healthcare Sdn Bhd under the Selangor State Development Corporation (PKNS). The company is state-owned and ultimately controlled by the Selangor State Government. It was established during the COVID-19 pandemic initially as a QR-based contact tracing web application for Selangor state residents, recording approximately 35 million QR code logs. The platform was subsequently upgraded into a native mobile super-app in February 2021 and has since evolved into a multi-service digital ecosystem.

The Selangkah platform is built around a single sign-on digital identity system (Selangkah ID) that provides residents access to an integrated suite of services across four pillars: health (Rekod Hayat lifetime health records, Selangor Saring NCD screening, Mental SEHAT, Selcare Clinic/Pharmacy, Home Assessment Tool, ACURA AI analytics, COVID-19 Forecast Map), fintech (Selangkah Wallet powered by Kiplepay, Selangkah Biz for SME merchants, Selangkah Pay), welfare (BINGKAS single-mother support, ASAS child malnutrition monitoring), and vaccination (SelVAX community and industrial programs). Distribution is exclusively within Malaysia, concentrated in Selangor state, via Google Play, Apple App Store, Huawei App Gallery, and a web portal; merchants include EconSave, Mydin, KK Mart, 99 Speedmart, Hari-Hari, and Burger King.

The business model is freemium and government-subsidized: the app is free for end users, with the Selangor State Government funding core programs. Revenue streams, where applicable, derive from e-wallet transaction fees, in-app advertising via announcement panels and push notifications, Selcare Clinic/Pharmacy healthcare services, and data dissemination services. The company has strategic technology partnerships with Kiplepay Sdn Bhd (Bank Negara Malaysia-approved e-money issuer) and Wavpay Systems Sdn Bhd, academic partnerships with University of Malaya and IIUM, and holds ISO, QMS+IQNET, and QMS+DSM certifications. Leadership includes Executive Chairman Dr. Muaz Omar, CEO Azzedine Tarmizi, and CIO Dr. Helmi Zakariah.

Scale indicators13 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Doctor Anywhere: Regional telehealth and digital health platform serving Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Philippines. Comparable on the digital health records and screening axis of Selangkah (Rekod Hayat, NCD Screening, Mental SEHAT), though focused on private health services rather than state-mandated programs.

Direct peers

• ShopeePay (Sea Limited): Embedded e-wallet inside Shopee's e-commerce platform with offline QR payment acceptance across Malaysian retail. Competes with Selangkah Biz for SME merchant payments and Selangkah Wallet for consumer payment share.
• Touch 'n Go eWallet: Malaysia's largest e-wallet, with the deepest merchant acceptance network and consumer adoption. Competes directly with Selangkah Wallet on QR-based payments, merchant onboarding, and bill payment, though Touch 'n Go lacks health-platform integration.
• Boost eWallet: Axiata's e-wallet offering QR payments, merchant services, and micro-financing. Comparable in product scope (QR payments, merchant onboarding, in-app marketplace) and competes for the same Malaysian SMB merchant footprint.
• GrabPay (Grab): GrabPay is part of Grab's regional super-app stack covering ride-hailing, food delivery, and payments. Comparable as a multi-vertical super-app with e-wallet at its core, competing for the same Malaysian consumer and SMB digital payment relationships.
• MySejahtera: Malaysia's national contact tracing, vaccination registration, and health management app. Most direct competitor — both originated as COVID-19 response apps and offer health records and digital identity features, though MySejahtera operates at federal level with broader reach.

Others

• Kiplepay (Green Packet): Bank Negara Malaysia-approved e-money issuer that powers Selangkah Wallet and Selangkah Biz. Functions as both infrastructure partner and indirect competitor in Malaysia's e-wallet space; a key dependency for Selangkah's fintech layer.

Broad incumbents

• Singpass (Singapore Government Technology Agency): Singapore's national digital identity platform that has evolved into a multi-service government super-app (health, payments, welfare). Operates at a smaller, higher-trust national scale and serves as the gold-standard benchmark for state-backed digital identity super-apps.
