webfact Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 In an effort to digitise various government-provided services and increase their accessibility, Thailand’s Interior Ministry officially rolled out a novel mobile application as part of its digital ID programme on Friday. The launch event was graced by none other than caretaker Prime Minister, Prayut Chan-o-cha, who wholeheartedly endorsed the newly unveiled ‘ThaID’ mobile application. Prayut outlined the primary motive behind introducing this innovative app – to streamline the way citizens utilise an array of state services. He went on to elucidate that this advancement is a seminal part of the ambitious Thailand 4.0 strategy. The successful creation and introduction of ‘ThaID’ marks a significant stepping stone in the government’s campaign to enrich the country’s digital ecosystem. Prayut put forth his earnest aspiration that the digital ID system would soon be widely adopted by various state and private agencies to enhance the efficiency of their respective services. He used the platform to encourage media channels to aggrandise its use amongst the public. Interior Minister Anupong Paojinda shed some light on the chronology of the digital ID programme’s development. by Mitch Connor Photo by Bangkok Post. #news Full story: https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thailands-interior-ministry-rolls-out-digital-id-app-in-drive-towards-thailand-4-0 -- © Copyright Thaiger 2023-07-03 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

klauskunkel Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) Great. Another platform to hack ID numbers and divert services. I am all for innovation and keeping up with developments, but the Thai track record in cyber security and corresponding accountability is not the best... So, if you roll out something like this, it is your responsibility to guarantee its security for the user, meaning: where is the Trillion of baht fund to back this? And, no, you can't just sell a submarine when needed... Edited July 3, 2023 by klauskunkel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
