Hishammuddin said response to the registration exercise was better than expected, with over two million legal and illegal foreigners coming forward voluntarily to register. “We knew that there were bound to be problems and it is not 100% perfect. But what is important is that we are on the right track,” he added.It's great to see that adopters of biometric identity management technologies are taking Return on Investment (ROI) rather than perfection as the relevant performance metric. If the resources saved in the improvement of a mission-critical process are greater than the costs associated with the implementation, the change should be made.
But, this article has so much more than a nugget of ROI. It has death threats, human trafficking, organized crime, huge numbers of enrollments and ROI.
Meanwhile, Hishammuddin said he believed that his recent death threat could be from a human trafficking syndicate in relation to the biometric registration of foreigners.Good luck to Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein and to the country of Malaysia.
