MyRepublic Singapore said that on August 29, 2021, it detected an unauthorised data access event and is working with its clients to mitigate any potential harm.

Unauthorized data access occurred on a third-party data storage platform where MyRepublic’s mobile users’ personal data was stored. The problem has been contained after the illegal access to the data storage facility was secured.

MyRepublic has reported the problem to the Infocomm Media Development Authority and the Personal Data Protection Commission and will continue to work with them.

“The privacy and security of our customers are extremely important to us at MyRepublic. Like you, we are disappointed with what has happened, and I would like to personally apologise for any inconvenience caused,” said Malcolm Rodrigues, CEO, MyRepublic. “My team and I have worked closely with the relevant authorities and expert advisors to secure and contain the incident, and we will continue to support our affected customers every step of the way to help them navigate this issue.”

Based on MyRepublic’s investigation, the unauthorised access affects 79,388 mobile subscribers based in Singapore. The affected data storage platform contained identity verification documents related to customer applications for mobile services, including:

We had ordered a sofa and bed from Smartbed Pte. Ltd.

On 19 June 2021…estimated delivery date 12 Jul 2021.

Simply put..we have yet to receive our order nor were we any pleased with the after sales service. Given the pandemic situation we do understand delays are inevitable…but then again given the attitude of this ‘company’… they just dont seem to ‘care’.

Apparently we are not the only ones affected here… a few of us have already filed our small claims.

For those who are affected also…kindly do the needed… or else this will all be taken for granted by Smartbed.

A woman witness an accident and shared the encounter online:

Yesterday, I was one of the first to respond to an accident at the Central Boulevard/Cecil street crossing. Private car rams lorry with foreign workers, one of the workers falls off and gets overrun by his own lorry. Three people left in an ambulance, fortunately, no life-threatening injuries. Uncle in private car had pains from seat belt/airbag and the two workers had leg & head injuries for tumbling on the lorry.

How can a proud country like Singapore keep transporting foreign workers on lorries without proper protection?! In these days discussing racism, are their lives not as much worth as ours?

Picture of my own car as I avoided taking a pic of the accident with respect for the involved. See less

A photo was sent in by a netizen showing a cleaner scraping the candle wax, presumably leftover from the recent Hungry Ghost Month offerings, off the pavement.

The netizen who shared the photo said:

“When you burn your candles indiscriminately, the poor cleaner has to spend hours under the hot sun to scrape the wax off the pavements in the entire estate. 😵”
