WOTC - NRIC No

I asked this question in the Wisdom of the Crowd:

Should the NRIC No be used to identify a person?

Here are the responses: (51 Votes)

55 % - The NRIC No is an important means to identify a person, as several people may have the same name.
24 % - The NRIC No should be kept secret and used only for official purpose.
12 % - The NRIC No can be scanned but the other information on the NRIC should not be captured in the scanning system.
10 % - By making it an offence to use the NRIC No, we are giving up an advantage of the Singapore system.
