"Release of CPF complainant's details necessary to 'provide correct and relevant facts': Government
SINGAPORE: Specific personal information was made public about a Central Provident Fund Board (CPF Board) complainant to provide the public with "correct and relevant facts", the Smart Nation and Digital Government Office said on Friday (Dec 27).
The Office issued the statement after queries from the media about the Government's policy on the disclosure of personal data in certain cases of public interest.
Some personal details of a woman, Ms Sua Li Li, were released on the CPF Board's Facebook page on Dec 19.
The Facebook post – a the joint statement by the CPF Board, Housing and Development Board, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, and Ministry of Social and Family Development – addressed an article published on Dec 17 by The Online Citizen (TOC).
The article was about a woman suffering from lupus who was petitioning the authorities for access to her MediSave and Special Account CPF funds. The article had used a pseudonym, referring to the woman as Ms Soo.
The authorities' joint statement on Facebook on Dec 19 said the article had "omitted to mention" that several Government agencies were "actively supporting the woman", and identified the woman as Ms Sua. They also provided further details about her case."
So it is clear that the gov CAN publish individual details without their consents if the gov deemed it to b of public interests to so discolsed.
It would b interesting to know WHAT RESPONSES the gov has to the follow up disclosure by Ms Sua Lili about why she saod n did what she had done?
e.g. the initial treatment made her condition worst?
etc. as reported in TOC.
Also, what does this achieved? that Ms Sua is an ungrateful citizen that didn't appreciate the many helps she is getting fr the gov n had damaged the credibility of the gov?
Would that help other citizens to appreciate the gov agencies more?
Could it know had kept Ms Sua's identity unknown n dealt with the case 1st b4 revealing?
Anyway, is she getting help still despite being "ungrateful"?
After all, if that is how she felt, expecting her to behave normally will b abnormal!
The state has to n bigger than an individual!!
