Name of company

I called a friend at his office number to confirm our appointment for lunch.

Receptionist, "May I know your name?"
Reply: Tan Kin Lian
Receptionist, "May I know the purpose?"
Reply: I wish to confirm my lunch with him today.
Receptionist, "Which company are you from?"
Reply: "It does not matter which company. I only want to confirm the lunch"
Receptionist, "Ok. I will put you through".

Singaporeans follow a script blindly and do not think. They always have to ask "which company". Does it really matters?
