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

[testerjp]

You don't think need to mask don't mean you need to deliberately expose everyone.

Very stupid explanation

I tried to search those go no bizfile one can't find any.

Update the deadlines as you are disabling the search function. Sounds legit that it is deliberate and just haven’t educate public yet.

 

[couch.potato]

I tried to search those go no bizfile one can't find any.

Few pages back already a bro said his dad who passed away, got info on there, and it is unclear if he ever had one… many other bros got try a lot of friends and family, some got tio some never. Reddit a few also mentioned they know they never go before also have… so

 

[tomicaguy]

tldr. so next time collate list of NRIC is perfectly ok?

 

[IAmChiobu12M]

Weird I tried search can't find any. Maybe I'm not doing it right but anyway now too late. Is disabled.

 

[Cowbellc]

it's because of this ACRA thing then.....

this arca lobang really upheaval d ministry

 

[Senfai]

Now that the news is out, it shouldn’t take long for practices to change.

Even unlicensed moneylenders will know not to lend money based on NRIC and name alone.

 

[crunsik]

If our ministers nric online then how

 

[shine0204]

The govt better give good explanations else it will be another ezlink saga.

Ez-link already Simply-Go-Stan. Ok 2 u-turn again. Give citizens a choice to keep Nric confidential if they prefer.

[Money no have]

Weekend maintenance?
Not everything is a conspiracy la
Or is it…..

 

[Cowbellc]

now i'm beginning to fear for sg's future liao. run or ruined by 4G

 

[Maihiam]

Nric not the same as name. Your name doesn't reveal your age. Nric does. If nric is no longer private info, at least give people the choice to change their nric nunber just like they can change their name for those who don't want to reveal their age in nric.

 

[khratit]

It is a mistake

There is no one enforcing penalty

Even jhk soccer is less kelong than this

 

[PaboJames]

is not a mistake ok.... they are catering to your request
