Recording of NRIC

I am disappointed to see what is happening. The change in the law regarding the recording of NRIC will cause additional costs, and all of these are unnecessary. We are spending money for no purpose.

Why?

There is no need for public buildings to record the NRIC of visitors. I cannot see any purpose. It is best to dispense with this requirement.

Even if we have to record the NRIC, the NRIC number is not confidential. It is a means of identifying a person, just like the name. The name is not unique, but the NRIC is.

What is wrong about the NRIC being known? It is just an identification. It should not be used as the key to a person's identity.

Anyway, here is the additional cost that many companies are now going to incur. Some of the additional costs will be financed by our wasteful government, in the hope of helping the SMEs.
