6. Monitoring LOTs Implementation
Effective from 1st January 2009, Log Tracking System (LOTs) was implemented throughout
the State after it had been introduced as a pilot project in Sibu Region for a decade. A team

assess the roll-out exercise. It was found out that two District Customer Service Centres in
Long Lama had the slowest connection and took a long time to transmit data to the
database. Due to that problem, a lot of data had to be transmitted during non-office hour
