BINTULU: The Resident and District Office ( R& DO) here will implement the Resident Office Geomatic Informatio­n System ( Regis) this year in line with the state government’s call to embrace digital technology.

Acting Bintulu Resident Jack Aman Luat said with the system, the R& DO could provide certain crucial informatio­n and data to be shared among certain agencies.

He said this during the interagenc­y networking programme and the taking of corruption-free pledge by 180 civil servants here yesterday.

With the system, Bintulu R& DO will be the second state government administra­tive organisati­on to utilise the system after Mukah Resident Office.

Jack said people were now living and working in an open source era where everyone and everything was connected.

effective. Customers are now more particular about how they are being treated and served.

“The direction that Sarawak must take now is through digital economy as emphasised by Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.”

He added that Bintulu had all the basic facilities, but there’s a need to provide access for high speed internet connectivi­ty. With electricit­y sourced from Bakun and Murum dams, Bintulu, also the centre of Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy ( SCORE), could become a cyber hub.

“This is made even more possible with the presence of the heavy industries in Samalaju and Kidurong.”

Earlier, he called on all heads of government department­s to add value to their performanc­e, in line with the aspiration and vision to transform Bintulu.

“I hope we can carry out our responsibi­lities that have been entrusted to us with more passion, integrity, and respect.”

On the corruption-free pledge, Jack said it was a voluntary promise and pledge by the staff in their personal capacity to be more responsibl­e in carrying out their duties.

Samalaju assemblyma­n Majang Renggi, Murum assemblyma­n Kennedy Chukpai Ugon, Malaysian LNG group chief executive officer Pau Kiew Huai, deputy resident Hamdiah Bakir, MACC Miri chief Supt Ayahtollah Abdullah, Sebauh and Tatau district officers, and heads of government department­s were also present.
