Japan’s digitized system to assign a number to everyone living in the country has faced numerous glitches, causing doctors to protest and local governments to beg for clarity on how to handle the problems.
The governor of Japan’s southern prefecture of Okinawa has called for more diplomatic efforts toward peace on the 78th anniversary of one of World War II’s bloodiest battles.
“We are extremely sorry,” Kono told a special committee in parliament, where opposition lawmakers slammed his efforts as inept. “We will do our best to speedily check the system and win back people’s trust,” he said. The Japanese Medical and Dental Practitioners for the Improvement of Medical Care, or Hodanren, a major grouping of doctors and dentists, is opposing the MyNumber plan.
No major financial losses or crimes using stolen identities have been reported. But the confusion has severely undermined government efforts to promote the system.
