A recent government review has revealed that there was no deliberate wrongdoing connected to the unmasking issue surrounding the National Registration Identity Card (NRIC). The findings were announced by a panel investigating actions taken by the Ministry of Digital Development and Information (MDDI) and the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (Acra).
Findings of the Government Review
According to the panel, the investigation did not uncover any evidence of malintent by government officials or agencies involved. This follows public concern over the incident, which raised questions about data privacy and the responsibilities of governmental bodies.
Impact on Community
The NRIC unmasking issue has serious implications for Singaporeans, as it involves sensitive data handling. As a result, the review called for enhanced measures to protect citizen information, ensuring that such issues do not arise again.
