He said this during opening ceremony of this year's State Civil Service Innovation Convention Awards (SCSICA) held at Borneo Convention Centre Kuching (BCCK) where he mentioned that Sarawak government is learning from two countries, namely Estonia, in terms of their digital infrastructure development, and South Korea, for their knowledge-based economy.
According to him, Estoniais recognised as one of the most advanced digital societies in the world, while South Korea has been focusing on education, science, technology and innovation to produce quality manpower.
He was spot on when mentioning the need for Sarawak to have quality workforce, especially in our civil service, which is a key factor to drive Sarawak to become a high-income state by 2030. the modern era, citizens were better educated with ready access to technologies that not only force governments to be more transparent but also to rethink notions of transparency.
“We need to modernise service delivery that focuses on citizen-centred and approach-based outcomes. The people are expecting more efficient and effective service. Therefore, I would like to pose this new challenge to all in the civil service, that these citizen-centric innovative solutions be further developed and improved. The civil service plays an important role in helping the government to develop the state and to become closer with the people,” he said.
