"Singapore is all set to roll out its first biometric passports, or BioPass, an effort to increase security and forgery. These BioPasses will have a chip embedded, which has pre-recorded passport holders’ finger-prints and facial features. Uptil now the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) has received some 1,000 applications for the new passport to be launched from August 15 at the cost of USD 80. The ICA has announced that passport applications made after August 8 will be processed to make BioPasses."[Brief]
