 | Objectives The Public Service's Consultation Portal (www.feedback.gov.sg) provides a one-stop destination for citizens to give views on policy proposals by the Government. The Portal has been enhanced to support e-polling and provide references to related policies so as to enable citizens to better understand public issues. | In April 2003, the Public Service's Consultation Portal (www.feedback.gov.sg) was launched. Yet another channel for Singaporeans to air their views on national issues and policy proposals, the portal supports a more consultative approach in policy making. All government policies that involve public consultation are posted at this portal. Online public consultation is not new. Many of our government agencies have been putting up discussion papers on national policies on the web. With the Portal, citizens only need to visit this one stop destination to give views on policy proposals by the Government. This Portal has been enhanced to support e-polling; and provide references to related policies so as to enable citizens to better understand public issues. The public can comment on ministry specific policy consultation papers via the e-Consultation Paper channel or debate with fellow citizens on a wide range of current issues in the Discussion Forum. Future phases of development include creating a separate space within the portal for business-related consultations. |
