ACRA chief executive apologises for Bizfile’s unmasking of NRIC numbers

Singapore’s Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority (ACRA) chief executive Chia-Tern Huey Min apologised for the new Bizfile portal showing people's NRIC details. “Our oversight has caused anxiety and confusion to the public,” she said at a press conference on Thursday (Dec 19). “As the owner of the Bizfile portal, ACRA should have been more mindful that many Singaporeans have long treated their NRIC numbers as private and confidential information and would not want to have their full NRIC numbers searchable on the new portal.” More details here: https://cna.asia/3P1k8ke Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Subscribe to our news service for must-read stories: Telegram - https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp - https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us: CNA: https://cna.asia CNA Lifestyle: http://www.cnalifestyle.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/channelnewsasia Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/channelnewsasia Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/channelnewsasia TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@channelnewsasia
