Screengrab of the SingPass website on Friday afternoon (Feb 9), as of 12.12pm.
SINGAPORE: Online users were unable to access SingPass and CorpPass services at around noon on Friday (Feb 9), the second time it had happened in a week.
Responding to an email from Channel NewsAsia, the Government Technology Agency of Singapore (GovTech) said on Friday that "some users of SingPass and CorpPass may have encountered intermittent access since late morning".
"We are investigating and working towards restoring the system," it said. "We are sorry for any inconvenience caused to users and encourage users to check the GovTech Facebook page for updates on the situation."
On Thursday, the services only came back online after 5pm after hours of intermittent access. GovTech had said it was not a cybersecurity issue.

Smart nation my foot. More like DUMB NATION.
CorpPass? More like CorpsePass now haha
Not a cybersecurity issue yeah we hear ya, just FUCKING GROSS INCOMPETENCE on the government's part. Now hackers from around the world know they don't even need to muster effort to penetrate systems here, because they will just automatically go down by themselves.
