ACRA’s PDPA exemption makes it challenging to hold agency accountable for allowing public NRIC access 

A recent glitch on ACRA's new Bizfile portal allowed full NRIC numbers to be easily accessed, raising privacy concerns. 

However, ACRA is exempt from the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA), making it difficult to hold the agency accountable for the issue.

In 2012, Workers' Party MP Chen Show Mao advocated for including public agencies under the PDPA, but then-Minister Yaacob Ibrahim defended the exclusion, citing existing data protection rules.

PaP is bringing themselves down but wants to drag Opposition with them. ACRA must be fined like SingHealth when there was data breach.
