Learn from ASEAN countries

Indonesia must learn about ICT Master Plan from another countries , who has adopt ICT Master Plan since few years ago, like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc let me think about it and tell you later ok
Like for Example Singapore , this country is just  7km2 , and people there i mean citizen are below 10 million , i guess now around  7 or 8 million, but look at them, they have ICT Master Plan since  1997, before  in 1981, Singapore have  national  computerization plan  to tap the power of information
technology for economic and social developments.The Plan also called for increasing computer
literacy and the creation of jobs in this new sector. Twenty five years ago, not many Singaporeans
were familiar with infocomm. Few had any idea of the opportunities offered by technology or how
it could change our life. In fact, working with a computer was the preserve of just 850 professionals,
who made up the country’s total IT manpower then. To the rest of us, infocomm and computers were
part of science fiction


Today, infocomm in singapore  has become an intrinsic part of just about everyone’s life, in one way or another. Threequarters of our households own at least one computer. More than one in two households use broadband to surf the Net. Three out of  four companies use the Internet for business mostly via broadband.  Electronic gaming is now a national sport. Today wehave a robust infocomm industry which contributes 6.5 per cent of Singapore’s Gross Domestic Product,
 with more than 111 ,000 infocomm man power supporting every aspect of our economy


Our early investments in infocomm, which include the national broadband initiative Singapore ONE,
have paid off. We have transformed Singapore into a connected and highly-efficient technology
powerhouse. Infocomm is one of our strategic advantages in economic competition. Our strong
standings in international competitiveness rankings year after year reflect this. However other countries
are also recognising the strategic significance of infocomm. We cannot afford to slow down or we
 will be overtaken. The challenge now is to raise our infocomm competencies by several notches so as to
stay ahead of competition. This challenge brought the Public, Private and People sectors together last year to examine how we should proceed, how we can raise the bar to benefit and enrich Singapore’s economy and our lives. We envisaged infocomm becoming even more accessible to everyone – to work, live, learn and  play with.
Indeed, by developing an inclusive digital society, we will ensure continued growth and vitality of our
knowledge-based digital economy. This masterplan– Intelligent Nation 20 5, or iN20 5 – has been
drawn up with precisely this vision in mind. It is abold and exciting plan to prepare us for the future.
I am confident that by harnessing the power of infocomm, we will achieve the vision of Singapore as
a prosperous and vibrant global city with exciting and rewarding opportunities for all Singaporeans.
