Tighter Controls and Real-time Anomaly Detection for SIM Card Purchases, Re-registration Patterns and GSM Gateway Misuse
2026-05-07 · Parliament 15
Mr Victor Lye asked MDDI whether the Government would consider tighter controls and real-time anomaly detection for bulk SIM card purchases, SIM re-registration patterns and GSM gateway misuse, given their role in making overseas scam calls appear local. Senior Minister of State Tan Kiat How replied that upstream controls are already in place: from 1 October 2025 scam mules are barred from new mobile lines, and from 28 February 2026 each person is capped at 10 postpaid SIMs across all telcos (on top of the existing three-prepaid cap), while in 2025 the Police disrupted over 105,000 scam-related mobile lines. IMDA, GovTech and the Police use data analytics to detect suspicious purchase and registration patterns. Mr Lye pressed on whether there is real-time monitoring and who sets the thresholds. Mr Tan stressed this is a multi-agency and whole-of-society effort with the private sector, cited the saying (a Chinese proverb about defenders and adversaries perpetually escalating against one another) to explain that thresholds are adjusted dynamically, and — citing operational security — declined to share details while confirming the use of technology and data analytics, including AI. He noted phone-as-first-contact cases have fallen and SMS-as-first-contact cases dropped about 65% (from 1,285 in 2024 to 450 in 2025), and introduced SIMCardHowMany, a tool jointly built by IMDA and GovTech for the public to check how many postpaid SIMs are registered in their name.
Establishing Collaboration between NIE and ECDA for Brain-based Learning across Learning Profiles and Integrating Adaptive AI in Education System
2025-11-04 · Parliament 15
An MP asked whether MOE will get NIE and ECDA to collaborate on brain-based learning research across learning profiles, and proposed an interdisciplinary taskforce on brain-based learning combined with adaptive AI in education. MOE replied that multi-party education research is already in place, curriculum design draws on neuroscience and educational psychology, and expert input is reflected — without explicitly committing to a new taskforce. The central debate: whether a dedicated team is needed to drive deeper integration of brain science and AI.
