Why build a National Government Portal?
For Citizens :
** The NGP reduces the number of physical visits required in government transactions, hence it will promote greater access to services. This makes things more convenient for the citizen. Paper-based document generation and processing time will also be reduced.

** Aside from transactions, the NGP also serves as an access point for government data. This brings important government information to citizens’ fingertips.
** Allows citizens to customise their web page to display the theme and information and services they want to access using any device, mobile or desktop at any time.

For Government :
** The NGP reduces government expenses by cutting down on the operation and maintenance costs incurred when managing multiple websites and systems.

** Through the NGP, government agencies can access the government common platform, where applications and databases will interoperate to enable data sharing.
** The NGP also aims to propagate a uniform government look and feel while harmonizing work processes, increasing government transparency.

For Business :
** The NGP is a single source where business users can access information, online forms, applications, and other government requirements they may need for their day to day operations.

** The NGP hosts the integrated government service center, making it easier for businesses to get government assistance on issues.
