With half of Brunei's population connected to Facebook, the centre hoped to engage the public to enter the contest through their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/egnc.gov.bn.
"Participants should consider the functions of the portal and the purpose of the portal to create a single word name that can be used for the portal. The portal will host all e-government services such as bill payments, applications and renewal of licences," according to the centre's Facebook page.
The planned "UBD-Kaist E-Government Innovation Centre" is expected to be established soon in UBD and will provide objective views and capacity-building programmes to push Brunei's e-government agenda, said Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology's (Kaist) Director of eGovernment and Green IT Research Centre (KeGRC).
Brunei's civil service will be the first to undergo such training programmes on e-government to be provided by the new centre.
