I moved to Singapore

Yeah, I was wondering about that too. But is that number publicly available? If so (or if nothing bad happens if people do know it), is there an issue?

Edit: Hmm ... "This has led to complaints of the possibility of fraud and identity theft. Therefore, now when NRIC numbers are publicly displayed, only the last three digits and the letters are displayed." -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Registration_Identity_...

Home. Working. I prefer solitude. I don't hang out much. http://www.tagbento.com/243/dereks-desk

This is one way to find out. You've also got my home address and mobile phone# in the public corporate records (see bottom of http://50pop.com/ ) - so I'm not relying on security through obscurity.
