Despite the general mood surrounding the issue, when you look at the actual legislation put forward regarding usage of TraceTogether data for criminal investigation purposes, the facts as they are are quite reasonable. The legal provisions are in fact hard coded such that they allow the usage of collected data only when the severity of the crime creates a reasonable cause for it.
However that is the facts as they are. In my recent readings on the founding histories of Singapore, I think it is worth noting that the original agreement between Raffles and Sultan Husain regarding the allowances the British would have over Singapore were also reasonable as they are.

Should it be utilised in the resolution of severe crimes, what potential forms of governance practices does it open the future up to? What would that mean to the future (and ongoing) participation rates of Singaporeans in such intitatives by the Government? Here the facts are not as certain. It may very well be that the Ministries can provide the evidence that the effective decrease in criminal damages to Singaporean Society brou
