Actnow

ACTnow is a social enterprise dedicated to its mission of building a better community by connecting the people and the local authorities as a bridge to highlight everyday’s community issues. In our experience with overcoming community problems and now a pandemic, ACTnow app was set up to protect and serve the public interests without any fees required. It is entirely free for the public to use. This calls for active participation from the people, local councils, and authorities on matters regarding community well-being and consumer protection. Malaysia is the first country to run the ACTnow app nationwide with access to 155 local councils and it covers 52 categories of community issues (e.g. uncollected rubbish, illegal dumpsites, unhygienic outlets, unlicensed businesses, illegal building structures, etc.) in a single free-for-use application. To achieve that, the ACTnow app has a built-in multi-language translator to make open communication possible for all, where everyone can keep each other updated with community issues at the national and international level. Its GPS tracking feature identifies the location from where a user is reporting an issue in real-time, which then auto-detects the respective local council. Not to forget, the app does not take any data from the users to abide by the law of data protection, hence reporters will stay anonymous. ACTnow is currently the official holder of The Malaysia Book of Record - “First Community Engagement Mobile Application” since November 17, 2020. The sole purpose of ACTnow is to encourage and build a better community as we believe everyone has the potential to be a changemaker to empower the nation and ACTnow can help. Be the voice of the community, ACTnow or never.
