-This isn't just a treat of a flawed democracy (which Singapore undoubtedly is!) - we've been having the same debate in Norway (though not explicitly about Covid-19) for at least a couple of decades - basically, whenever data is collected, some enterprising soul will find another use for the same dataset which was not originally intended, nor consented to by the people supplying the data.
The fronts are quite predictable - one camp suggests that if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear and won't somebody think of the children.
The other suggest that expanding the scope of utilization is both outright wrong and, all other concerns aside, will make it a lot harder to collect (consensual) data in the future.
