Government red-tape reforms have resulted in RM3.21 billion in compliance-cost savings, according to Chief Secretary Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar. Out of the 1,582 projects registered under the initiative, 496 have been successfully completed. Speaking at the launch of the Enterprise Architecture Seminar and the 2026-2030 Public Sector Digitalisation Plan, Shamsul Azri emphasized the importance of examining existing processes and re-designing government services.

The 2024-2030 Public Service Reform Agenda stresses the need for interconnectedness, integration, and a people-centred approach. Shamsul Azri highlighted that digitalisation should be used to eliminate red tape and create a consistent framework for government operations. Enterprise architecture plays a crucial role in coordinating service strategies and processes, ensuring services are tailored to the public's needs and experiences.
