Agree to disagree. NRIC reveals a person's age. It can also reveal information like whether the person is a new citizen. Organizations mostly still use nric and full name to verify users, especially phone authentication and legacy authentication methods. If govt don't take initiative, expect private organizations to take their own sweet time to make the changes. If nric not sensitive, then pdpa failed at their jobs. Mask nric for fk?

ya i know. many in govt also raised eyebrows when they said this

Now plp cna writer blame private sector

IDENTIFICATION VS AUTHENTICATION�

At the outset, we must distinguish between identification and authentication, which are related but quite different.

To identify a person is simply to say this person is Mary and not Martha. But if there are two persons named Mary, for us to know which Mary we are referring to, we need the NRIC number to identify the person – to tell us whether it is Mary who is 50 years old, or Mary who is 20 years old. This is the identification purpose of the NRIC.

In my book on Singapore's PDPA and Europe's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) published in May 2017, I criticised the PDPA legislation for not protecting NRIC numbers and argued why they need to be protected.

One of my main concerns was the identification purposes of NRIC numbers that can be used by private entities to link with other data for nefarious purposes.

Being a common identifier, a third party can use the common identifier of NRIC number to link and determine that the Mary who went to a hospital yesterday is the same Mary who went to the bank today – because the same NRIC number appears in both sets of records. This is primarily an issue of privacy.

In 2018, Singapore's PDPC released guidelines stating that the use and disclosure of NRIC numbers is a special concern. The arguments and concerns highlighted in the guidelines were similar to those published earlier in my book. In the same guidelines, the Commission introduced the practice of masking NRIC numbers.

"We are very sorry to have caused (the public) much anxiety."

JUST IN: Minister Josephine Teo has apologised for the confusion caused by its policy to unmask NRIC numbers. https://cna.asia/3BBxpwO
