Inconsiderate bureaucrats

Our inconsiderate bureaucrats continue to impose an unfair burden on the small employers. My issue is time is with the SAF.

My staff went for in-camp training. He submitted a claim for NS makeup pay. I received an e-mail from SAF asking me to verify his claim. I click the link and had to enter my SingPass. This was not recognized. I was then asked to call the SAF hotline 1800 3676767.

This is supposed to be a hotline. It is an infuriating line. I went to an automated voice response system asking me all kinds of questions that I do not know how to answer. I tried to guess the button to push and there are more buttons to come. I finally got lost, after wasting much time.

I replied to the e-mail and once again was asked to call the SAF hotline. I tried again and after refusing to press a button 3 times, they asked me to press 0 to talk to a human being.

I pressed 0 and got a message that all the customer service officers are busy.

Why does the SAF need to waste so much of my time? How inconsiderate can they be?
