Govt dept Use of NRIC to enter malls and supermarkets
Many people question why are malls and supermarkets asking people to bring their NRIC when private establishments are not allowed to ask for NRIC under the law.

My answer - the law is STUPID. The NRIC is the best way to identify a person. It should not be a secret.

The ban on the use of NRIC was another bad judgment by the government. We are now seeing problems arising from the bad law.

This government made a lot of costly policy mistakes that harm the economy, increase our cost of doing business and damage our competitiveness.

The ban on the use of NRIC has caused the private establishments to send tens of million dollars to change their computer system. It also increased their operating costs.
