  Lin Zhilong said that in order to improve the management efficiency within the government, the Macao Special Administrative Region government has built an official document management system for the entire government and implemented the entire process of sending and receiving electronic official documents.

In terms of external services, in 2019, Macau launched the "One Household" APP, where residents and enterprises can handle their normal affairs on the APP. The types of services of this APP are currently being continuously updated.

One Hutong provides more than 100 electronic services and functions, covering medical, education, cultural and recreational, social security, transportation, housing, and entrepreneurship. This year, the electronic report function has been added, 28 cards issued by 13 departments are digitized for residents to carry." Lin Zhilong said, in addition, in order to cater for the needs of the elderly, the "one household pass" was also launched.

  In terms of Guangdong-Macao cooperation projects, the safe and convenient customs clearance for residents of Guangdong and Macao during the epidemic is the result of the cooperation between the two places. "Under the close cooperation of both parties, we have used blockchain technology to ensure information security and personal privacy protection. , And if the information is certain, mutual recognition of the'Yuekang Code' and the'Aokang Code' will facilitate the customs clearance and passage of residents of the two places."
