KUCHING: Sarawak joined the ranks of IBM, Vodafone and several leading international digital entities when its web application, iSarawakCare, won the London Design Awards.
State women, early childhood and community development minister Fatimah Abdullah was in the British capital to receive the award for the digital government services category.
“Living up to its tagline of ‘One Click at Your Service’, the iSarawakCare portal is integrated with existing systems in Sarawak, such as SarawakNet, SarawakID, State Treasury, banks as well as federal government systems to ease the processes across all platforms involved,” she said in a statement tonight.
Mark Bergin, the founder and chairman of Better Future who organised the awards, said the fantastic aspect of the project was reflected in the ability of the Sarawak government to offer digital services that were usually not immediately available to all citizens.
“We are also impressed as the elder population, such as parents, with the help of their children, could get access to digital services that they otherwise would not get access to,” he said.
According to the statement, iSarawakCare offers convenient single-point access to government initiatives, assistance and services.
iSarawakCare was developed by Fatimah’s ministry together with the Sarawak Multimedia Authority and other agencies. - FMT
