Can you give us a brief overview of Singapore governments policy and approach towards eGovernment?
Singapore’s journey in eGovernment began as early as 1980 with the launch of Civil Service Computerisation Programme (CSCP), which was a key component of the National Computerisation Plan. Since then, the CSCP has evolved with each national IT plan, bringing about exciting changes to the way the Singapore Government works internally, interacts with and serves the public. The first eGovernment Action Plan, which aimed to be a leading eGovernment to better serve the nation in the digital economy, was launched in 2000. The second eGovernment Action Plan was unveiled in 2003, and it aimed to further spur the transformation of the public service into a networked government that delivers accessible, integrated and value-added e-services to our customers and helps bring citizens closer together.
