[h=2]MINDEF gives me a new ‘father’[/h]

While updating my particulars via the NS Portal website upon receiving a
notification for a call-up, I noticed that my “father’s” information was already
filled in with a name, NRIC number and address belonging to a complete
stranger!
You can see that the surname did not even match mine:
How can MINDEF violate its own privacy statement with such a serious security
lapse? Who did the programming work for MINDEF?
