#626 - Lapses Revealed in NRIC Unmasking Issue & SCDF Hiring Foreigners?

The NRIC unmasking saga is far from over - after a thorough investigation, a 36-page report reveals how a “confluence of shortcomings” led to the NRIC kerfuffle under ACRA’s watch. But while no "deliberate wrongdoing" was found, will there be accountability of the key personnel involved? Meanwhile, the SCDF is set to hire foreigners for emergency medical services, citing manpower shortages amid Singapore’s declining birth rate. Are these valid reasons for searching for foreign talent?
