In response to my post on Renotalk Forum, Icon Interior Design has publicly published my personal data, i.e. name and residential address. In its enthusiasm to present a more convincing account, it has failed to protect individual’s personal data, be it intentionally or unintentionally. Clearly, this is a breach of Personal Data Protection Act (2012).
I have lodged a complaint with Personal Data Protection Commission, Singapore, providing evidences to support my claim. I have also kept HDB informed of this breach. At the same time, I reiterated the outcome of my case filed with Small Claims Tribunals - The order made by the Tribunals was in my favour as Icon Interior Design has provided an unconvincing and unreliable account of the incident.
I have notified the moderator of Renotalk Forum of the breach and requested for the thread “Daunting Experience with Icon Interior Design” to be taken down. It is now temporarily removed. My appreciation goes to the team for their quick response.
Meanwhile, I have directed readers to this blog to learn about my renovation experience:

Although this blog has documented what I have posted earlier in the thread removed, unfortunately it does not capture all other posts that are put up by members of Renotalk forum. Neither has it included the response from Icon Interior Design. I welcome Icon Interior Design to repost his account of the incident on Renotalk Forum, so that the concerned party gets his voice heard. However, the onus is on Icon Interior Design to check his post.
