• Avoid choosing a Password that is easily anticipated by a third party, like your NRIC number, telephone number, date of birth, etc.. You should select a unique Password to make it difficult for anyone to anticipate.
• Avoid writing down or "saving" your Password on your browser or any other software. Memorise your Password.
• If you suspect your Password may have been compromised, change your Password immediately.

Only access Web Application using a secure and trusted computer!

• Keep your operating system (eg. Microsoft Windows) and Internet-related software updated with the latest security patches.
• Protect your computer from viruses and malicious programs with anti-virus software and firewalls where possible. Always update your anti-virus software with the latest virus signatures.
• Always log out your Internet web application session by clicking on the "logout" button whenever you leave your computer, even for a short while. Do not simply close the browser window when you wish to end the Web Application session.
