The concept of Electronic Government or E-Government
is initiated with the aim to lead Sarawak into the Information Age.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays an increasingly
significant role in everyday life. ICT revolutionize work, leisure and
the ways businesses are conducted. ICT applications also enhance the
delivery of goods and services to people by improving the process and
management of government.
E-Government utilizes ICT or online services
to enhance the access to and delivery of government services to benefit
the people, business partners and employees. It also assists in
strengthening the drive towards effective governance and increased
transparency to better manage socio-economic resources for future
development.
The Sarawak State Government has
successfully initiated and implemented online services and information
services to effectively and efficiently distribute services to the
people without time and space constraints. An overview of these online
services and information services are accessible at www.sarawak.gov.my
The ICT Unit of Jabatan Ketua Menteri
Sarawak has also initiated the State EG Contest since 12 th May 2008.
Information on the contest and method to participate are available on
the web site http://www.sarawak.gov.my/content/view/26/48/.
