Singapore Speaking in Parliament on Tuesday (Jan 5), Dr Vivian Balakrishnan issued a clarification on the collection and use of TraceTogether app data after it became public knowledge from the previous day’s sitting that the data could be used for police investigations.
The Foreign Minister and Minister-in-charge of the Smart Nation Initiative said: “Frankly, and I think members know me well, and I am always very frank. Frankly, I had not thought of the CPC (Criminal Procedure Code) when I spoke earlier.”
His comments were in reference to why he had in the past said that TraceTogether app data would only be used for Covid-19 contact tracing.
