and the interesting bit is the news I see about Malaysia trying to entice more Singaporeans to go there to tour (and spend money). Some pp (ie tourism board and customs) are just not talking to each other eh?

\"He said the system was implemented to help reduce illegal activities relating to the borderless world, including drug and human trafficking, money laundering and terrorism.\"

I'm very stupid, I admit. I dunno how this fingerprinting will reduce the problem of money laundering, or drug trafficking, or human trafficking. Anyone care to provide some illumination?

I think the relevant authorities watch too much CSI liao... just trace the fingerprints from the scene of crimes??
Hope they know how to store their fingerprint database safely... scarli no backup one....

Sorry to say that. but if their crime solving system is so advanced, how come there are so many unpaid road taxes, traffic summonses? I recall meeting friend of friend, he had a whole carload full of traffic summonses that he never bothered to pay - although I was curious why he would leave those paper inside the car.

Anyway, this reminds me a bit of the cctv surveillance in our mrt station...capture image but no store - end up when pp need to check, there's nothing to see. Not sure if this is still the case, but I had a rough idea of that happening.

the system will \" go beep beep beeb, terrorist terrorist, beep beep beep.... \"


as if the system can detect who's who. :skeptical:

yaya, i find it so funny why is it the index finger print not the thumb :scratchhead:

Cos' our passports already have thumbprints?
Index fingerprints (both hands right?) is more for being KIASU?

Saw the news on our customs exploring this retina scan thingy... more powerful!
