'We are very sorry': Government apologises for confusion, anxiety over NRIC unmasking saga

The Cabinet minister issued the apology during a press conference on Thursday, alongside ACRA chief executive Chia-Tern Huey Min who said the incident was due to a lapse in coordination.

The article from Channel News Asia discusses the controversy surrounding the unmasking of NRIC numbers in the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority's (ACRA) database. Singapore's Minister for Communications and Information, Josephine Teo, issued an apology for the confusion and anxiety caused by the incident. The issue came to light when it was discovered that the full NRIC numbers of company officers were visible in ACRA's online registers, which was supposed to be masked for privacy reasons. This breach was due to a system error that occurred during an upgrade of ACRA's IT systems. Teo clarified that the error was not a result of a cyber attack but an oversight in the system update process. She emphasized that steps have been taken to rectify the issue, ensuring that NRIC numbers are now properly masked, and reassured the public about the government's commitment to data protection. Additionally, she mentioned that ACRA would review its processes to prevent future occurrences.
