Zchwantech Presents National Digital Identity Platform to Timor-Leste Government 

We are proud to share that Zchwantech recently had the honor of presenting our National Digital Identity platform to senior officials from the Government of Timor-Leste. The presentation, held during an official visit by Timorese representatives to Malaysia, marks an exciting step forward in supporting Timor-Leste’s digital transformation journey.

A Secure, Unified Digital Identity Solution for Timor-Leste

Our biometric digital identity solution is designed to seamlessly integrate essential services—including banking, healthcare, telecommunications, education, and civil registration—into a single, secure platform. This aligns perfectly with Timor-Leste’s E-Governance Roadmap and Vision 2025, which aim to create a more connected and inclusive society through digital innovation.

The response from Timor-Leste’s government officials was highly encouraging, with strong recognition of the platform’s potential to simplify access to public services for over a million citizens. By linking unique digital IDs with biometric verification, our system ensures secure, efficient, and transparent service delivery while strengthening governance.

Dato’ Seow Gim Shen, Chairman of Zchwantech, emphasized the project’s broader significance:
“This is not just about technology—it’s about empowering Timor-Leste’s citizens with the tools to thrive in a digital ASEAN. Our solution will bridge gaps in service delivery, financial inclusion, and governance, ensuring no one is left behind.”

Beyond Digital Identity: Holistic Expertise for Nationwide Impact

At Zchwantech Sdn Bhd, we don’t just specialize in digital identity—we’re also an official reseller of leading technology brands, including Rujie, SangFor, Verkada, and WatchGuard. This allows us to provide end-to-end solutions in cybersecurity, networking, and smart surveillance, ensuring a comprehensive approach to digital transformation.

Mr. Steven Lim Kee Seng, Technical Director of Zchwantech, highlighted the system’s robust design:
“Security and accessibility are non-negotiable. Our architecture employs world-class-grade encryption and modular scalability, ensuring Timor-Leste’s Digital ID remains future-proof amid evolving cyber threats.”

Why Oecusse? A Strategic Pilot for Nationwide Success

As part of our proposed implementation plan, we’ve recommended launching the platform in Oecusse, Timor-Leste’s Special Administrative Region. This strategic pilot zone will allow us to demonstrate the system’s benefits in a controlled environment before scaling nationwide.

A phased rollout ensures smooth adoption, builds stakeholder confidence, and allows for real-world refinements—key to Timor-Leste’s vision of trusted, sustainable digital growth.

Mr. Alex Chan Chau Loong, Executive Director of Zchwantech, reaffirmed the delivery commitment:
“This project is where vision meets execution. We’re turning Timor-Leste’s Digital Revolution goals into reality. Our Digital ID platform is built to be both agile and rigorously secure—ensuring fast deployment while safeguarding citizen trust. Critically, it is future-ready for connectivity to ASEAN systems, so Timor-Leste grows hand-in-hand with the region.”

Timor-Leste: A Future ASEAN Digital Leader

If implemented, Timor-Leste could become one of the first ASEAN nations to deploy a fully integrated, biometric-powered digital identity system—positioning the country as a regional leader in digital governance.

This initiative not only supports Timor-Leste’s path to ASEAN membership but also accelerates national priorities like financial inclusion, transparent governance, and cross-border digital interoperability.

Gratitude to Our Partners & Supporters

We extend our deepest gratitude to all enterprises, government agencies, and technology partners who have placed their trust in us. Your belief in Zchwantech’s mission drives us to keep innovating and delivering solutions that make a real, lasting impact.

Together, we’re helping Timor-Leste take a bold leap into the digital future—one that’s secure, inclusive, and built for long-term success.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue pushing the boundaries of purpose-driven technology!
