Abstract
With the increasing prevalence of digital transactions and growth of the 'Smart City' policy agenda in Asia, we adopt a critical disability studies lens to analyse the inclusiveness of state-designed digital transactions in Singapore. In this paper, we offer a preliminary analysis of the Singpass app - Singapore's national digital app, to understand how digital transactions can be designed and operationalized for disability inclusion. We situate the case of Singpass app within the rise of global digital transactions and the political-technical infrastructures that shape their accessibility. We analyse the ways Singpass centers disability, the problems it may still entail as well as possible implications for inclusion.
