Mr Shanmugam said: “It is the duty of our security agencies to be very aware of whether MPs or ministers or senior civil servants or those around them or their families are being approached or suborned, and it is in the interest of Singapore and the security of Singapore that state agencies are on top of the game.”

Mr Perera, a WP MP, had asked whether the Government uses spyware from Israeli company QuaDream and if it has deployed the spyware or other spying technologies in Singapore.

This was on the back of a report early this month by Reuters that QuaDream, which develops smartphone hacking tools intended for government clients, counted the Singapore Government as one of its first clients. The Government did not reply to queries by Reuters on the matter at the time.

Responding to Mr Perera, Mr Tan said: “For obvious reasons, the Government cannot and should not discuss specifics on any operational aspects or capabilities regarding our national security.

“One of the most critical responsibilities of the Government is to keep Singapore safe, secure and sovereign.”

He added that the Government has to deal with serious national security threats to the country such as terrorism, foreign subversion, espionage and interference.

“To this end, agencies charged with the mission of safeguarding national security necessarily have to rely on a range of intelligence capabilities, including harnessing technology.”

Mr Tan suggested that Ms Lim make a police report if she has any concerns regarding what happened to her iPhone.

Meanwhile, Ms He Ting Ru (Sengkang GRC) on Friday asked in Parliament if there was an update on the Cyber Security Agency’s (CSA) investigations into local cyber-security firm Computer Security Initiative Consultancy (Coseinc).

CSA had looked into the firm after it was blacklisted by the US Department of Commerce in November for allegedly selling hacking tools that were used against individuals and organisations worldwide.

Other firms also blacklisted included Israel’s NSO Group and Candiru, which were accused of developing and supplying the Pegasus spyware.

Pegasus could remotely tap smartphones and has been used against government officials, journalists and activists internationally.

Ms He also asked if the Government has procured services or products from Coseinc and, if so, what was the nature of the contract awarded to the firm.

Senior Minister of State for Communications and Information Janil Puthucheary said people in the US who want to export, re-export or transfer items the US regulates to Coseinc must first get a licence from the US government, since the firm is on the US’ list.

Dr Janil, who is also Senior Minister of State for Health, said Coseinc’s offerings include cyber-security training courses. The firm is also one of the many vendors to provide training services to the Government under standard contractual terms.

“CSA found no evidence that Coseinc had breached cyber-security laws in Singapore,” he said. “Companies found to have contravened our laws and regulations will be dealt with in accordance with the law.”

They are experts at dispensing half-truths. Maybe a hired contractor, technically not part of the govt, hacked the phone. Or it was not hacked but 'leaked' due to some obscure security breach etc.

It's all about plausible deniability.

If the PAP wanted to hack oppies phones, they would have done it long ago. I've seen the evidence and I can reassure oppies that wanker sylvia's handphone has not been hacked.

It would be more interesting to know which pap fellow followed Sylvia into the toilet.

 

[JohnTan]

It was some lowly security guard. It was necessary to ensure that wanker Sylvia didn't try to escape or attempt suicide. The security agencies have learnt their lesson from that m&d selamat incident.

Most of the wankers have already been convicted of crime in the aljunied town council saga. They are only walking around free thanks to their appeal. But in the meantime, the verdict pronouncing them as criminals still stand.
