Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli announced that the concept paper for GovTech, a single platform for integrated government services, will be presented at the next National Economic Action Council meeting in December.
Rafizi stated that the paper will outline the strategic initiatives and innovative technology solutions offered using sophisticated and inclusive digital services, with a focus on leveraging the latest technology to streamline government operations, increase efficiency, and provide better services to the public.
He said, “This presentation is a critical step towards integrating technology into government processes, symbolising the commitment to digital transformation and modernisation of the public sector.”
Moreover, the initiative is centred on the creation of an interconnected digital system, enabling citizens to access various government services easily and efficiently, while leveraging data and analytics to facilitate more informed, responsive, and effective governance.
Rafizi added that the approach involved the strategic use of big data to better understand people’s concerns, predict trends, and make evidence-based decisions, and that GovTech refers to a “whole of government” approach in the modernisation of the public sector.
