KOTA KINABALU: The State
government wants civil servants to adhere to ICT security for public sector
policy in state.
State Deputy Chief Minister
cum state Agriculture and Food Industry (MAFI) minister Datuk Seri Yahya Hussin
said the policy was meant to protect government systems from being exposed to
computer virus or being hacked.
“It is also important for
officers responsible, namely the Chief Information officer and ICT security
officer, to help the government in ensuring others follow the guidelines,” he
said in his speech at the opening of MAFI’s ICT seminar at Wisma Pertanian here
on Wednesday.
Yahya also urged the
formation of cyber troopers in every ministry to be expedited. This was
recommended apparently by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Najib Razak.
“These groups will be
responsible in responding to irresponsible individuals’ comments on social
network which are meant to badmouth government’s administration system.
“Our cyber troopers also
have to provide the facts and truth for the public,” he added.
The minister also urged
civil servants to make use of the technology to improve their competency as
well as to deliver efficient service for the people.
“The globalisation
phenomenon which is driven by ICT is replacing the typewriter, telegram and
newspapers which used to be the main tools in administrative works.
“But now, the key to success
management is much dependent on mind-challenging mastery on information and ICT,”
said Yahya.
At present, almost all
government staff from managerial to low level rank posts are involved in the
digitalised form of government system.
The state government is
among the earliest to implement E-government system in year of 2000 that manage
the human resources matter and leave application on online basis. Later on, civil servants are also encouraged
to use government-link email to improve interaction among staff.
He also commended
E-government system was a good idea that would direct the government towards
sustainable environment via the IT-Green concept.
“ICT enables us to prevent
from using paper unnecessary and thus cut budget on related stationary for the
printing,” he elaborated.
Yahya also reminded seminar
attendees that internet could also be harmful when it was used for wrong
purposes at wrong timing.
“ICT development includes
the invention of several social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and blog
which would also create negative implication.
“Among the bad impacts including
staff wasting their time on internet for non-work related which should not be
happened,” he added. (BI)
