The e-Government will redefine how government relates to citizens and businesses as well as how it relates internally to its own agencies and its own employees. Pehin Dato Awang Haji Hazair, Permanent Secretary at the Prime Minister's Office was speaking at the opening of Brunei-Korea e-Government Seminar at the Civil Service Institute in Rimba Gadong yesterday.
He said a successful e-Government is expected to bring dramatic improvements in the coordination of government resources, better analytical tools to solve increasingly complex problems faced by modern governments and decision support tools to enhance effectiveness of public policy.
The permanent secretary added that easily transmitted information can lead to the improvement in the dispensation of public services.
Interactions with government will become much easier and convenient and extend beyond normal working hours.
The half-day seminar was attended by more than 150 participants from government departments and private sectors.
The Civil Services Institute and Brunei-Korea Association for Friendship (BKAF) supported by the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Brunei jointly organised the seminar.
