New coordinating unit set up to drive Smart Nation initiatives
SINGAPORE: The Smart Nation Programme Office, which will help drive initiatives to make Singapore a Smart Nation, was announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday (Nov 24).
The new unit will come under the Prime Minister's Office, with Minister for Environment and Water Resources Vivian Balakrishnan in charge. It will perform a coordinating role, with the aim of bringing citizens, Government and industry together to identify issues, co-develop solutions, prototype ideas and deploy them effectively. This office will make sure "we take a whole-of-Government, whole-of-nation approach to build the Smart Nation", Mr Lee said, speaking at the Smart Nation launch event on Monday morning. One example of this approach is the Virtual Singapore project, which the Prime Minister launched at the event. The project aims to develop an integrated, three-dimension map of Singapore, enriched with layers of data about buildings, land and the environment. |

i can recall:
1. the "Same Window" approach of the various govt ministries' departments passing on public feedback/complaint .......... DIDN'T WORK 2. who sweeps/cleans a certain part of public space ..... 3 DEPTS shrug their shoulders and NOBODY WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY until the top can effectively dismantle the little fiefdoms and get rid of the mini feudal lords in each dept/division, whatever SMART initiative will be a waste of effort, time and money. |
