It seems like a very roundabout way of saying that we should stop using NRIC altogether, but I honestly have no idea how the government even plans to move forward from here. We will just have to wait and see.
Best is they abolish NRIC and give us another set of confusing numbers and alphabets.

Policy makers are intentionally vague to give themselves flexibility
Policy implementors need them to be well-defined to be able to implement them correctly

This is the full context.
I think indranee makes better sense than joteo and don't agree with the joteo gaslight.


Second Minister for Finance Indranee Rajah emphasised that ceasing the use of partially masked NRIC numbers does not mean that masked NRIC numbers should necessarily become unmasked and that this was a misunderstanding.

Highlighting a question in which a reporter had asked if NRICs that were currently masked would become unmasked with the shift, she said: “That's exactly what ACRA thought too, so I'm just trying to illustrate that that’s how the error occurred.”



It can mean

1. Govt released the unmasked nric don't mean that organisation or public should freely release people's unmasked Nric. Nobody should do it.

And/or

2. What ACRA did was a mistake. They heard that masked NRIC should not be used in the future.

And some idiots in the team tot it means to publicise all NRIC unmasked.

She's making a point that ACRA made a mistake. Masked NRIC should not be used also don't mean should unmask all the information and release to everyone.


I think if you separate out their statements and read, got different meaning and stand. :o

So what is the main point for ceasing the use of partially masked nric numbers?
It is means…..don’t let the norm be that nric can be use as password or security barrier……

The idea is there….but the execution is sucks……

how come PDPA PDPC so quiet? :frown:

In the first place, long ago, PDPA PDPC should have proposed that NRIC number not contain the year of birth as a starting number.

Many times, in public institutions, the NRIC holder reads out his IC as verification, everyone knows how old he is.
And when those folks whose IC starts with random number read out theirs, everyone knows how aged they are.

In the old days, IC numbers are more random, and does not reveal the birth year of the holder.

If only the NRIC could be designed, function, and implemented like blockchain for privacy and security operations.

Means instruction give wrongly right from the start.

When someone say cease [something], means need to stop doing [something]

In this case, the something is the partially masking of nric

So, to cease doing that either, means:
1. Fully mask nric
2. Or fully unmask nric

Since (1) clearly doesn't make sense, it is logical to do (2).

If they meant to refer to access, then the instructions should be something like "open up access to relevant parties" instead of ceasing the use of partially masked nric
