LUMPUR: The Government has embarked on developing a web portal which will
provide a single gateway to government agency services, Chief Secretary to
the Government Tan Sri Samsudin Osman said yesterday. He
said the initiative was part of the Government's efforts to provide
efficient services to the public speedily and with cost savings. Samsuddin
said the fact that most government agencies had their own websites had
provided some ideas to the government to create the portal in order to
give the public easy access to information. "With
this portal, the public no longer have to open many government websites to
get information," he told reporters after launching the Microsoft
Government Leaders' Conference here yesterday. He
also said the Government aimed at integrating all the agencies' websites
into a single portal.
"It is our hope to be able to bring together all the websites into this one portal some day," he said. He said the most vital aspect of the portal was the type of services that needed to be projected. Services through the portal would include getting application forms and repayment of loans. "We
want to deliver good service to the citizens. People don't have to go to
the department to get simple things like forms," he said. He said the portal was being handled by Mampu and the public could view the initial part of the portal probably by the end of this year. Samsudin
