However, this is not the case and things like this will only take place in Malaysia.
The Scenario: PTPTN lost file that contain borrowers’ list.

June 12: The Star reported that Employees Provident Fund (EPF) had approved a loan of RM1bil to PTPTN. So, please reserve your last enough, especially if you’re being employed now.
Malaysia, welcome to Digital Age!

UPDATED: A technologist who prefer to remain anonymous, revealed that PTPTN uses Lotus Notes as its database to store the applicant details, where Lotus Notes should be an intranet systems and application platform. However, PTPTN had exposed part of the intranet system to the public when the hoo-haa on the last "late payer" issue. This, if not done correctly, can result in a breakdown as you are exposing an intranet application/system to the public via HTTP, unsecured, unencrypted, totally.
OK, talk is cheap, here’s the proof. Follow the steps:
1) Click here.
2) Right click to view the page source.
3) Lotus-Domino (Release 5.0.4 - June 8, 2000 on Solaris Sparc) appear on the top screen.
In case if you might not get what I mean, please read on:
It’s like a girl, wearing a skirt, but she wanna look sexy, so she wear a shorter one. Altough she look sexy, but if it is not done correctly, then she is going to expose her private part.
I’m not saying that you cannot wear a short skirt, you can, but you must know what you are doing to not expose your private part to the public.
End of story.

i would like to correct some fact. Lotus Notes is a client for Lotus Domino which is a server. Lotus Domino come with webserver that can provided remote email access for the user. So the webserver that serv the PTPTN website is actually part of the PTPTN WAN and LAN as well. As you know, webserver is designed to serv external user also which known as semi-private. But the Lotus Domino is a bit old..they should upgrade it :)

There is so many issues with PTPTN. In fact, borrowers like me are a bit weary as whether to pay back NOw or later. Coz, I’m afraid that the payment is not captured due all this IT issues.
This is the bad part of IT. We are so dependent on technology that we are actually sucked by them!

Don’t be so happy, the digital data is gone, but the paper documentations are still there. Just hire data entries clerk and re-entry the data will do.
LOL!
