NRIC registration in school now ... better late than never.

It was reported on Channel NewsAsia that "from this year, Singapore students who turn 15 can register for their National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) at school, instead of going down to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) Building at Kallang Road."

Frankly, I thought this no-rocket-science idea or arrangement should have been thought out and implemented long ago when almost the entire 15-year-old cohort is in schools. Well, it is better late than never. I think the person who came out with this idea and decision should still be commended.

By the way, under the law, it is mandatory for Singapore citizens and permanent residents to register for their NRICs when they reach 15 years old.
