Govt intends to stop masking NRIC numbers, says there is not 'much value in doing so'

[Maihiam]

did i understand correctly? mddi: decision alrdy made, just that didnt announce yet. pdpc: need to consult expert. feel abit weird taking this 2 sentence together.

Precisely. Should consult before making the decision rather than after. Why need to align guidelines with new policy intent even before you consult about whether the new policy intent is appropriate to begin with?

 

[Semakdd]

Made a mistake then try to confuse sounds like my work team lead

Don't live in the past. Be less confused.

Same government also once said two is enough. GST was once also 3%.

Even more confused? How about 377A?

And increasing gst is due to profligate spending

dun need edmw do anything, people oredi use the info to cancel other people cards and pretend to be polis. oni frog in the well think this is breaking news to scammers......

Next will see Singpass accounts kena hacked since most use the NRIC as the default login.

Now still school holidays, maybe the students nothing to do will start triggering password resets.

NRIC is private until govt says its not.
Just like contact tracing, and freehold property here.

Here the govt controls everything, they don't have to answer to the citizens.

Is not so simple.. go read up on Bertha Henson post to understand the whole situation. She is an ex SPH senior editor.

She is the one who flagged the loophole to the authorities.. anyone can go bizfile to search for anyone's ic..

After she flagged the issue. ACRA /bizfile stop the NRIC search function. Who knows how long this loophole has been there and exploited by anyone.

MDDI PDPC announced statement on the SAGAT..

This case is not simple at all. It's not just abt our NRIC being private or public info...

The money for the sound of freedom and large german phallic objects needs to come from somewhere.

How about the corvettes we're replacing with full sized destroyers frigates?

It implement private, but also public. So got this private, public problem.

If private why show it big big in the ID card?

Should implement security like Microsoft did which can have multiple email ，1 use to login, other use to send mail or register other application account

No worries… if LHL personal data leaked during the Singhealth hack also can be said as “no serious commercial value”… these small fries is jitao no value… dun worry… *cough cough*

The Singhealth hack is a major data breaches. Seeing pinkie bo chap about it, there's a possibility his data wasn't even leaked in the first place. It's to tell the public even the PM's data is leaked, no big deal about it.

Or his data is indeed leaked and he is incapable of doing anything.

What is new ?
This is what I mentioned leadership is about when there is a hiccup.
Who is the boss ?
Nowhere to be seen, No sound heard.
Still want to call themselves leader ?

All civil servant is like that one
When got problem better hide don’t be hero. If u hero end up u will kena arrow to solve the problem
This 4g generation all civil servant. So all have civil service mindset.

I wonder how many minister and MP are going to get their SingPass lockout over and over again due to their NRIC being leak….

There are really a lot of ppl with tons of free time on their hand lol

 

[jeffrey745]

Yhey

How can nric be like names? No same sg citizen carries the same nric number but many ppl can have the same name

They are trying to hootwink ppl thinking this is ok, no mistakes committed by them

 

[mryang]

I conducted a search on various individuals and noticed that some were not Singaporean citizens. Upon further investigation into their backgrounds, I discovered that some of the names, along with their IC and ID numbers, belonged to Americans, Canadians, and others who are directors or shareholders in major companies in Singapore.

Can gpgt here

LMW, WP, do your job, if you cam make some top fellows in charge lose their job, I will vote for you (provided you contest in my area, hokay).

 

[pwongkk]

This reporter 没死过。fire government officials opening Pandora box. Signal us this unmasked of ic and name will lead us to massive trouble

Wait to be terminated

That's what a true reporter should be doing. Fully respect this person. Even if he got fired, he deserved to get crowd funded. If he had not reported, this might be kept in the dark for don't know how long.

We don't need reporters who just reproduce from gov press release. Effectively is just a gov mouthpiece.

So weird

 

[SmokeBomb]

Actually I think this accessing of NRIC is new cos I heard it only happened when there was a new interface last week so it’s not it’s been on for years (public access one. Log in and buy and access has been there for years).

So if the minister apologised, said it happened cos of the new interface and the head has been fired, the minister might even score points

If this issue only came up after the new interface is launched.

Can we find out who is the developer of the new interface?? All hands on deck to shield this new interface and the issue it brought out. Must be someone even more powerful .
