Heard that the PM and the cabinet are upset with IDA over the handling of this new policy. He did mention to the press accompanying him for the visit to Myanmar that it has not been explained well. Apparently it got worse the following 2 days after the initial 2 days with poorly made comments to the press. The Head of the newly formed CSA told the press that "billions" of attacks are made to the Government networks. The next day the CEO of IDA said that others have done the same but could not provide det. The word is one of the SPH editors told the PM that none of the staff knew what they were talking about.

Issue 1 - Initial press release gave the impression that civil servants will no longer have access to the Internet which is wrong.

Issue 2 - Could not explain what sort of risk that led to the policy change.

Issue 3 - Could not explain how the new policy will work with staff having access to the internet

Issues 4 - The public still have no idea how it will help the govt be efficient and effective in an age where technology is the main engine of progress.
