The thing is why worry? It took my unit almost a year to send me the letter. I'm not the only one MR in my unit. It's the entire unit. When I saw my OC when we were all there he said they go by batches. One in mid year around June/July and the others in Nov. It all depends on unit and number of ppl MR at around the same time. The other logistic thing they can c0ck up is the gift watch. They didn't give it to me on the day I receive the letter. It took many months partly becoz I didn't collect on the first notice. They wanted me to go back to unit which is fxxking far and you know, where got time? I think many ppl didn't bother. Hence they latter arrange at Jurong SAFRA for us to collect on the weekends.

 

It depends on how those admin ppl get things done and how slow. Anyway I didn't quite bother to want to know or ask.

the worry is warranted - want to make sure no obligations left mah. you are right that it really depends on unit. some are downright unprofessional in their admin to say the least.
