    THE government agency behind the development of Singapore's contact tracing mobile app TraceTogether did not intend to mislead the public on data privacy, said its chief executive Kok Ping Soon.

    He said the team of engineers and developers at GovTech, which functions like a "technology vendor" of the government, were focused on quickly building a means to tackle the spread of the coronavirus.
