LIVING IN SINGAPORE
The NRIC number is a unique identifier assigned by the Government to each Singapore resident that is often used as a required document or identifier with the Government and commercial transactions. The physical NRIC not only contains the individual’s NRIC number, but also other personal data, such as the individual’s full name, photograph, thumbprint and residential address. Hence, organisations are to comply with the obligations under the Personal Data Protection Act, such as to make reasonable security arrangements to protect the personal data from unauthorised disclosure. Organisations should not retain an individual's NRIC include when renting a bicycle or when issuing visitor badges for buildings. An organisation may merely have sight of an individual’s physical NRIC and the information on it for verification purposes, the commission added. This includes the checking of NRICs for the sale of cigarette to verify the customer's age. Organisations should consider using alternatives such as organisation or user-generated IDs or passwords, tracking numbers, QR codes, or monetary deposit. Read more from:

FAQ
Where can we ride PMDs? PMDs are only allowed on footpaths, cycling paths, and shared paths. PMDs are not allowed on roads, as well as pedestrian-only paths. How fast can we go? PMD users must keep below 25km/h on cycling and shared paths, and 15km/h on footpaths. Are all types of PMDs allowed? Your PMD must not weigh more than 20kg, must be less than 70cm in width, and must have its speed capped at 25km/h. This reduces the risk of serious injuries during a collision, allows devices and pedestrians to pass each other safely, and ensures users do not exceed the speed limit.
