KUCHING, Nov 20: Ushering in a new era of simplified engagement between citizens and the government, the Sarawak Government announced an allocation of RM26 million to catalyze the development of innovative solutions for more efficient and user-friendly digital government services.
Premier of Sarawak Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg said the key digital projects includes; License Management System for Sarawak Carbon Capture & Storage, Integrated Social Management System, State Online Foreign Workers Transformation Approach Development System, and Sarawak Advanced Security Enforcement System.
“All digital government services shall be accessible through a single sign-on using SarawakID, are to be enabled with SarawakID Corporate by 2024.
“Currently, more than 957,000 users are registered to access government services. Moving forward, SarawakID Corporate is available for corporate entities to sign-on and access government online services,” he said this when tabling the Supply Bill 2024 at the New State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting here, today.
Abang Johari added the government is also introducing SarawakPass, which will enable every Sarawakian to have access to “digital passports”, allowing them to carry their credentials wherever they go and share them with any entity, be it in the private or government sectors.
This move is anticipated to redefine the way individuals interact with various organizations, offering a secure and efficient means of identification. -TVS
