Sarawak has rolled out wristbands as its digital surveillance solution to curb the spread of Covid-19.
She said contact tracing technology should be accompanied by privacy and data protection frameworks, including how data is handled and consent from users. Apart from the mobile apps, two states – Selangor and Sarawak – have introduced their own technology-backed methods for contact tracing.Under the system, visitors to government buildings, commercial and private premises must scan the QR Code provided before they are allowed to enter the premises.
“What is common though, is a lack of discussion on these technologies and its impact on fundamental freedoms such as the right to privacy, freedom of movement, right to information and right to health.” “It is unclear how long these measures are supposed to last, and if anyone can choose to opt out if they don’t agree with it. Such a wide net being cast over all of our right to privacy, right to life and freedom of movement cannot and should not be implemented without any debate or check and balances,” she said.
