All computers used officially by public servants in Singapore will be cut off from the Internet from May next year, in an unprecedented move to tighten security.

A memo is going out to all government agencies, ministries and statutory boards here about the Internet blockade a year from now, The Straits Times has learnt.

There are some 100,000 computers in use by the public service and all of them will be affected.

"The Singapore Government regularly reviews our IT measures to make our network more secure," a spokesman for the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) said when contacted.

The move is aimed at plugging potential leaks from work e-mail and shared documents amid heightened security threats.

Trials started with some employees within the IDA - the lead agency for this exercise - as early as April. Web surfing can be done only on the employees' personal tablets or mobile phones as these devices do not have access to government e-mail systems. Dedicated Internet terminals have been issued to those who need them for work.

The Straits Times understands that public servants will be allowed to forward work e-mails to their private accounts, if they need to.

It is rare even for banks, telcos and casinos - which are known to have the strictest computer-use policies - to cut off Internet access on all work terminals.

Banks give only some personnel - such as analysts, sales staff and corporate communications employees - Internet access, but file-sharing, Web-hosted e-mail and pornography websites are blocked. The fear is that staff may download malware accidentally from dodgy websites, or share sensitive documents online.

Mr Aloysius Cheang, Asia-Pacific executive vice-president of global computing security association Cloud Security Alliance, said the Government's move marks a return to the past - the 1990s - when Internet access was available only on dedicated terminals.

"In the past, it was hard for malware to extract sensitive information from within government networks," he said. "Now, it is hard to control any leak on social media or file-sharing sites."

It will take time to convince users about the new system as the Internet is ingrained in most work processes. One teacher noted that he uses it extensively to develop worksheets and test papers.

DHL Important Information - BEWARE OF SUSPICIOUS CALLS

DHL Important Information

BEWARE OF SUSPICIOUS CALLS

Over the past week, we have been alerted to automated phone calls received by our customers and members of the public from suspicious-looking phone numbers such as +1800 285555 (very similar to the DHL Express hotline 1800 2855555, but with “+” prefix) and a few others.

These automated calls first prompted them to enter a number for more options. They were then directed to real person who then asked them for more personal information.

We would like to clarify that such automated calls are not authentic. A police report has been made.
Members of public and our customers who receive such suspicious calls should do the following:
Ignore such calls
Hang up immediately if the call seems suspicious.
Do not press any number key or provide further information.
Call the Police immediately at Police Hotline at 1800 2550000 or ‘999’ to report the case.

DHL Important Information - Notification about the Postal Code Change in South Korea

DHL Important Information

Notification about the Postal Code Change in South Korea

In 1st August 2015, South Korea government converted the current 6-digit postal code structure to a new set of 5-digit postal code. DHL has set up necessary measures as below for your convenience.

How to enter postal code when requesting pick-up: You can still use the 6-digit postal code together with the new 5-digit until the end of 2015 when requesting pick-up through DHL electronic shipping solutions (ex. MyDHL)

Recommendations: Both the existing 6-digit and new 5-digit postal codes are available in all DHL Express customer applications until the end of 2015. DHL has already established dual postal code system in order to reduce the impact of postal code change. However, it is highly recommended that you use the 5-digit postal code as soon as possible since the old postal code will expire on December 31, 2015. Only new 5-digit postal code can be used beginning 1st January 2016.

To avoid customs clearance delay and misclassification issues please use the new 5-digit postal code correctly.

Please contact DHL Express Customer Service for further assistance.
