E-Participation Policy
This policy aims to explore the culture and practice of e-participation in order to improve transparency and public participation in improving the quality of services by The Department of Fisheries Malaysia (DOF).
DOF recognises public involvement to enable DOF to explore a broader perspective, information resources, and potential solutions to improve results and services. It also provides the basis for a productive relationship, better dialogue and discussion, and orderly governance.
The objective of this participation is to involve citizens in the policy development and decision-making process through the use of information and communication technologies.
