A Tale of NSFs, NSMen and Regular Service Personnel (Part II)
I will list some irking examples. However, let me list one good model.
SISTIC
SISTIC used to list NSF as Full Time NSMen. Since an email earlier this year, they have immediately converted the listings to NSF. Some errant listing of Full Time NSMen remain for some programmes, however.
Then, we have the following:
Transitlink
Used to insist that they were accurate. Now they have silently changed over to using Full Time National Servicemen. XD 'nuff said.
Singpass Application
Singpass Online Request > Submit Request. Then you see the line under 'C' :
"For National Servicemen, obtain your NRIC’s Date of Issue from your Unit’s Chief Clerk."
So what about Regulars. Ask who? Hantu? (Ok lah, I'm just being literal)
Ok lah ok lah, I think that's enough ranting for now.
For those of you who always very 'By The Book' one. The NSF/NSMen definition is actually listed in GOM ok. Also, I always wondered, if an NSMen actually went up to claim the concession, would they then allow it? Or spend time explaining that "By Full Time NSMen, we mean those serving Full Time in NS." Come on lah, NSMen where ghot part time or Full time, activate means activate, or else always lull period loh.
Meanwhile, the poor NSF drawing the small allowance every month does not get the concession.
Time to go back to FF ^^
