In other words : “We've investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.”
At the 0:28 sec, Why did the minister specify the time frame?
"I( Shanmugam) can tell SL that her phone has not been hacked by sg state agencies in the time available between when she raised it in parliament and now I think the last x mins or so......"
Notification came out, and shanmugam check till that point, it was not mha, so it couldn't have been mha
of course, these kind of things are done at arm's length from the state right..
I think it's in the interest of the public to know.
MHA should answer to the public through the Parliament.
Ya…. I am also not aware.
answer for you or the hackers?
MP Shan is very clear and precise with the explanation here and its SL who is unclear on the step to be taken cos she did not provide specific msg from Apple about the hack also hows her phone anti virus protection status like and did she click any phishing sms or visit any high risk website or any other self doing that caused the hacking and if really hacked with sufficient proof she can make a report or seek advice from SPF cos its unethical and unprofessional to raise this matter in ParliamentHouse so bluntly like that and as an educated person its dumbfounded if you are proven to be oblivion to such simple protocols.
MHA is above accountability. Didn't you know that? Stop living under a rock.
He already said he 'does not in future intend to confirm or deny'.
Only the mercenary hackers or whstleblowers will reaveal the truth.
Something strange about the message Ms Lim received from iphone. If a phone has been hacked, I thought the provider of that message will just say your phone may be hacked or has been hacked, do something, etc. This message provider seemed to me very precise as the source of the hacking (From State). My feeling is that message probably a scam and Ms Lim falls for it!
Imagine if it was just a scam message lol
Wow stakes are high if phones are really being hacked.
She is abusing her parliamentary privilege
Don't be lame. You tell Facebook and Google everything. Don't hear you complaining.
wah lao, she better pray she kept the message or she will pay the price like R Khan if found to be a lie.
Apple is democratic and will sure support and protect customer privacy and interest. Could be really true.
I sincerely hope it is true….
I don't think SL is a liar
@@janetchong5048
She lied before in Parliament.
How about the lies in ahtc?
She doesn't even blink when lying.
Beware of such politicians.
I bet it’s a stupid generic security reminder
The idea of going to the MHA and just asking them if they’re trying to hack into your phone is a bit silly. Obviously they’re not going to admit to it. And it’s not something you do by mistake. Hacking into a device is a very intentional act so what exactly would they be investigating? Anyway maybe Apple can provide more information about the source of the attack, if what Lim says is true.
Ms Lim is an opposition MP. There is reason to suspect that the govt agency may have hacked into her phone. She has a right to ask in Parliament. We like to hear the answer straight from the horse's mouth. The minister has suggested it might have come from a foreign agency. We give him the benefit of the doubt for now. All ministries must beware. Now all MPs must assume they are potential targets.
If they want to hack her phone, they won’t be caught
She is just doing advertising against our Government agencies.She is not doing it for Spore
@@davidho5762 actually they hacked into malaysia telecommunications many years ago. They were caught
@@cayotelives yea one thing to be caught by a telco with state of the art security, as opposed to a civilian phone with limited security functions.
Finally we get a straight reply from the Minister.
Amazing

he only speaks for MHA.
She might have searched some dark sites.
@@rslin4888 irrelevant.
If u go to home affairs, they will investigate the phone and secretly access all info... what a stupid answer.
Lies again? Hello Whatsapp
Not state agencies, State sponsored agencies ? Hmmm .. just words....
oh dear, another round huh! Wayang Party!
At least WP give us good entertainment but we pay these useless fools too much

Math teachers: See I told u algebra is useful in life
Using N will be more accurate.
WP should know throwing random claims is not going to work in this govt. Didnt u see what happened to reesah, the govt will get to the bottom of all your claims lol.
I'm sure the WP welcomes it, which is why they raised the issue in parliament in the first place.
Fools and crooks never care about consequences.
She is doing advertising.
@tim tim google it. don't show your ignorance
how stupid, as if they will own up!! real circus...
Now everything and anything report to parliament and not the police. Then Shan got to investigate and answer @ parliament cum police station.
Not true. She is not talking about normal police case.
@@BeachBoi1000 How to know normal or not when she did not report the matter to SPF instead publicise it in ParliamentHouse first ?
Amazing
Great! Publicize the fact. Why is there a "time" qualification in the Minister's reply? Shouldn't it be resounding "No"? Sure MP is not immune to it. So if it is not a resounding NO, then this youtube title is a bit misleading. It should have added the same qualification that Minister said. CNA, if there isn't any investigative journalism blood in you, at least be factual about reporting please. Omission and truncation is not the way to earn readers' trust.
WHO should send a teams to investigate USA Fort Detrick Lab. Unit 731

Does she provide any evidence or screen shot ? One lie not enough, need to use another lie to cover or divert the matters. Please investigate. Enough is enough.
You will be surprise these having are done to obtain information on RS case order to have better edge! Despicable!
i think she's lying.
Enough of her craps and lies ..saga after saga from wp
Here we go again … Witch Hunting Part II 😭
Excellent
3:12. He does not intend in future to confirm or deny....
What does that mean?
Ya. Catch no ball...
Means Prata time
Means it's possible for MPs to be potential targets for hackers.. hence he can't confirm that MPs PHONE WILL NEVER BE HACKED
Borrowed from overseas?
@@thefungi7795 It's not that he can't. He said that he 'does not intend to'.
Anyone noticed he is wearing 2 watches? 🤣
Nowadays phones that people use are receiving so many scam calls and scam message this is going on and on for few years ready.
Now ministers phone are getting hacked now it becoming serious.
I don't know at the current moment how many phones are hacked in Singapore.
It may be millions and government must take a serious precaution for this problem that is going on in Singapore.
Hope they all got protocol and safety measures, wait something serious get scammed out.
Did the hacker steal the picture of the hand written note Ms. Lim??😝😝😝
I can get the bottom of this
If it's agency I'm sure it's much easier job for me I'm interesting in the person server classified file too
A fortress will not reveal its keys
Worker's party , please stop all your comments. The more lies the more you guys can't cover.
MPs should publicize the fact as well as getting to the bottom of it.
Why? Mha still has to ask SID to investigate. He should know what the various agencies under his charge are doing because the heads of each agency reports to the mha.
All sleeping and doing it for money perhaps. Characterised by lack of knowledge of own agency and lack of efficiency!
SID is under MINDEF umbrella
@@kathylim8255 are you sure you know what you are talking..You more hard working than him ? He sleeping? Or you are sleeping
@@squiggy18 that’s means got blind supports?
@@ycong4689 I don't know what you are asking....I am only saying SID is under MINDEF not MHA, therefore he has to ask SID for information.
he like to clarify.... clarify what.. he is arrogant demon..
Very interesting . He was saying in this particular case , mha wasn’t tracking Ms Lim, but in other circumstances , MPs (PAP included) could be track and he will not keep answering similar question ).
I guess everyone can be tracked if our security/intel agencies suspect you of illegal activities with other counties (eg spying)
sharp
many website are tracking you la you try search some items the next day your yahoo mail your sms all will send you the advertisement
Not confirming or denying, he said mps don't have immunity so it means he can't for sure say confirm no hack will happen (deny), if he can't deny that means it will be a confirmation, so he said cant confirm or deny.
I love to hear this man speak! So intelligent!
Hacked for more evidence to prosecute PS and FM?
No need to do that.
These 2 are doomed
@@rslin4888 excellent
Yup. Not hacked by state agencies but by commercial agencies hired by state agencies. Typical Singapore behaviour. He's right.
why would he need to wear 2 watches?
State sponsored agency... thats pretty specific isnt it... im interested how Apple does it
You should carry china phone.
@Desmond Voon
LMAO… “Use China Phone”… That’s even worse, direct linkage to the Chinese Communist Party! 🤣🤦🏼♂️

QuaDream hacks iphones and Apple is blocking it. Who uses QuaDream?
Beware of leaks.
jiak ba ka eng, who in the government so free, would hack into her phone when they can just ask her to disclose the information they need? Foreign state-sponsored hackers are more of a concern here.
Julian from wiki leak had already told the world if you are using iPhone you're screwed. All phone
Are our phones hacked or having spyware as well? So horrible and intrusion of privacy! Ridiculous!
Don't be lame. You tell Facebook and Google everything. Don't hear you complaining.
Well she could be telling the truth. Let her come forth with the evidence. Though I doubt she will. Only know how to pretend, like Pretend Singh
@@alphariusharroth8593 exactly. Another of her craps and lies. Wp saga after saga and ahtc as well
When LKY was around, nobodydare to be funny and lie in Parliament.
Thanks to the shift in sentiments, now PAP is tasked to build a credible opposition. The irony.
Because the Merdaka and Pioneer generation of voters voted competent and honest MP to represent them. Only one or a two Opposition MP in Parliament then. Nowadays voters values alternative voices then competency and honesty. Definitely, there are more wayang in Parliament.
@Ops Blac . For this I don't agree with your view. The stomach of Our Merdaka and Pioneer generation are empty, try telling those generation the benefits of alternative views instead of availability of jobs, and they will tell you off. But our present generation of voters, their stomach is full and to them, their thinking is whoever is the government of the day, the economy, security, etc is the same (which is nonsense). The desired of opposition supporters is so strong that it is not difficult to find them writing over here about their votes for the Opposition regardless of the outcome(look at last GE results, voters overlook the AHTC saga). Therefore, to the present Opposition supporters, it is consider an alternative views if the Communist party appear today.
@@MrLEECHINSOON
I agree with you. We need people of integrity in Parliament.
WP is showing its true colours as a wayang party. Taking advantage of her Parliamentary Privileges and playing in Parliament. It's a shame

You didn't know how blessed we are obviously.
We have communists and ultras to deal with.
And everyone expect us to perish.

Ah gao ask ah gao to ask ah gao why he's ah gao.
Why do you assume she wants to go police who will ask her to hand her phone over for scrutiny and her private conversations become known . She is allowed to ask question right.
Why he wear 2 types of watches?
I couldn't see any contribution done by workers party to Singaporeans n Singapore so far, this party basically is vested interested. ..I only see none stop of gossiping n conspiracies on n on in the public spreading by this workers party...we need an unity country, not a party trying to divide n creating hatred between ppl n government...
Exactly precisely. No.contribution from wp and another saga.
Woah sham wearing two watches siah.
Yeah right Shanmugam
Do you think it's possible?
Yes.
I think this concern Singaporean citizens privacy. Horrible and despicable. On one hand preach to be true and honest and in the back do such things? Really true?

Mother Hen may have reached the expiry date. Needs handicap toilet
Shan only speaks for MHA. so many other agencies he did not speak for..
He can't be speaking about handicapped toilet, can he?
Fully agree
Why does he wear 2 watches? XD
A sports watch and a conventional watch. U think why
He has 2 different time to keep
One Automatic watch for time while the digital one is more for health and public transport.
Forgot take off, for official duties? LOL
One for day time, one for night time.
Brilliant
What's to expect of a democracy where a private family matter of the PM can be plucked out of the judiciary and inserted into the legislature for a summary "judgment" on account of Parliamentary supremacy? I've not seen this happen anywhere else in the world!
He is wearing a watch on both of his hands 😅
Only a person like him would do that. Wearing two watches where the appropriate is to wear one.
whoever the hackers are, they have already destroyed the majority of singaporean life..including mine
why at all time did Ms silvia lim brought up her hp phone being hack? Is this something that is related to the khan case where evidence regarding to WP party issue will be submitted to court. If someone want to hack hp, they should hack those who are holding the important role in the government. As MP, wheather you are opposition party or PAP, such situation should be brought to the police attention. wonder she make any police report of her situation?
MP Shan is very clear and precise with the explanation here and its SL who is unclear on the step to be taken cos she did not provide specific msg from Apple about the hack also hows her phone anti virus protection status like and did she click any phishing sms or visit any high risk website or any other self doing that caused the hacking and if really hacked with sufficient proof she can make a report or seek advice from SPF cos its unethical and unprofessional to raise this matter in ParliamentHouse so bluntly like that and as an educated person its dumbfounded if you are proven to be oblivion to such simple protocols.

Why he wearing 2 watches?
He is very time conscious?
If I got extra money, I'd even wear watches on my leg
One Automatic watch for time while the digital one is more for health and public transport.
Hacking are never done by state agencies directly.
I think WP more likely to hack the government instead because they have so much more important information.
They'll prolly employ some external org e.g. NSO group to do them, so they could be involved in it but not directly responsible for it lmao
Official thief was not thief, it is Checking. So readers and voter decide. Liar no need to clarify.
Ya, Mr Shanmugam has rightly pointed out that if SL is serious about such threats, she should have taken action there and then. If she didn't trust the MHA, she can go to Apple for investigation. Am curious how the notification looked like! Was she decided by the notification? Hope that this is not another lie that is going to waste the nation's resources!
Following the public reports of a hacking tool sold by an Israeli tech firm to governments for spying purposes, Apple has implemented a policy where if they will send a notification to affected persons if such malware was detected on their phones
SL is not truthful and abusing her parliamentary Privileges.
She should be jailed for her role in AHTC
@@jakegan5178 ie. The hacking can be fr anyone who has the tool! Not necessary SG government, unless the notification specifically mentioned SG government.
@@ftinsg1591 yep, but what I'm trying to say is that it's not a lie in the sense that there actually is such a notification
there is such a notification. if the attack was state sponsored then why would the police do anything about it. I think the public deserves to know.
also Shanmugam chose his words very carefully. he said he speaks for MHA. what about mindef?
Finger cross she is telling the truth, if not, good luck….
Cannot imagine that My tax money o went to pay her allowance!
Really shows how much trust the people in have in the government.Sylvia needs to clarify if she received this alert after getting her phone back from the authorities.I also notice that Minister Shan is not being very clear from 0:30 - 0:55 then switch to offensive argument to accuse Sylvia of not being sincere.He should be more clear if want to avoid suspicion.They should contact Apple to get more info or details
You got it wrong here cos MP Shan is very clear and precise with the explanation and its SL who is unclear on the step taken cos she did not provide specific msg from Apple about the hack also hows her phone anti virus protection status like and did she click any phishing sms or visit any high risk website or any other self doing that caused the hacking and if really hacked with sufficient proof she can make a report or seek advice from SPF cos its unethical and unprofessional to raise this matter in ParliamentHouse so bluntly like that and as an educated person its dumbfounded if you are proven to be oblivion to such simple protocols.
You don't expect a minister to admit that it hacks the phones of its citizens. You can only hope that foreign hackers will leak the information or for whistleblowers willing to break the secrecy laws to reveal the truth, like Ed Snowden.
