Covid-19 crisis Redeem the Temasek Holding masks
Temasek Holdings allow people to redeem the mask by scanning their NRIC or entering the number manually.

This has led to cheats who redeem the masks illegally.

I disagree with the approach. I will allow people to redeem the mask by scanning the NRIC but will not the manual entry of the NRIC.

It is easy for a cheat to enter the NRIC of another person illegally, but it is more difficult for them to use their NRIC for scanning (although it is not impossible).

Everybody has the NRIC. If they lose it, they should get a replacement. They should use the NRIC to redeem the mask. If they forget the NRIC, come back another day.

This is my common sense approach.
