What other problems do we have due to the reluctance to do the 80% of the job?
Well, the so-called manpower to support the growth of Singapore. What if Singapore became too crowded? What if the public transport was overloaded? What if Singaporeans got displaced from jobs? What if Singaporeans felt that they are living in a foreign country? What if those immigrants could not integrate into Singapore? What if the immigrants complained and restricted Singaporeans from cooking curry? What if those immigrants replaced Singaporeans' way of living with theirs? What if the immigrants compared the people to dogs? What if there were riots and higher crime rates? What if the hospital became over crowded? What if my people needed to wait hours before being attended to? What if my people could not afford a house? What if prices increased too much? What if CPF was not enough? What if my people worried about retirement? What if my people needed to collect cardboards and clear trays to supplement their retirements?
Are we going to always "let's move on" to ignore the lapses in addressing the issues? What if the "let's move on" action invited more and more needs to "move on" again and again? How far do you think we should "let's move on"? Until we fall off the cliff?
The first step in solving problem is to acknowledge it, followed by moving forward to rectify it - not ignore it conveniently and "move on" to something else.
The same applied to SingPass. What if the current security measures were not enough? What if my people accounts were compromised?
Are we going to do something to mitigate it before it happened? Or should we get ready to blame the People again?
Could the SingPass security breach be circumvented? Absolutely, and most importantly, the government knew it can be prevented and how it can be prevented. If they had implemented Two Factor Authentication (2FA), such incident would never have happened, but they did not want to address this what-if scenerio. Why?
The response from Ms Jacqueline Poh, Managing Director of the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, was to use strong password. Please, stop kidding us. No matter how strong your password is, it can be hacked by brute force.
So how do we prevent brute force? The most effective method against brute force is NOT password complexity, it is to
