Here is a very misleading headline, even though the correct information is given in the article.

No passport required as departures from Singapore airport set for 'seamless' travel from 2024

Biometric data, taken from fingerprint scans and facial recognition technology, will replace travel documents and other physical items, such as passports.

They key part is:-
The changes will allow people to depart the airport without needing to "repeatedly present their travel documents".
Which is 100% different but the modern media just can't seem to get even the basics right. I suspect they did not read the PR release before publishing.
