Information technology has led to rapid and dynamic changes in the way government and business operate. The introduction of computers helps government administration in achieving efficiency and adding value to the conduct of government business transaction. The Malaysian Government has taken a pragmatic approach to the advancement of information technology by establishing a mega Electronic Government (EG) project in the form of a Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) amidst the legacy systems. This paper seeks to demonstrate the nature of the EG initiatives and the legacy systems and discusses how the National Archives of Malaysia responded to the mounting pressure to address records management problems associated with the legacy systems and the EG.
