this is harassment already.

 

But is there a reason why you did not proceed to do the survey?

 

Troublesome mah...I heard will ask east ask west and must keep record of expenses for whole family for 2 weeks.

I thought ignore them 2 or 3 times they will stop but the interviewer said they will come until I do the survey so bo pian!

I kena this survey last time round. Told me is mandatory for selected household. I told them i am not free to do such waste time stuff since no matter what i fill, prices of everything keeps going up. Then they threaten me wuth the mandatory crap again so i told them to show me where got write mandatory. She then told me she will get someone higher rank to talk to me.

 

Fast forward few days later, the higher authority arrived at my doorstep, say the same rubbish but still cannot prove that its mandatory. I told her that i do not wan to reveal my spending habits as that may cause more prices to rise and i do not want to be the idiot causing it. Again, threaten me with mandatory and selected household must comply. So i told her to get Chenghu to sue me for that.

 

Never heard from them again.

Please la. They won't dare do anything.

 

I guess that excerpt pertains more to police or criminal stuff. definitely not household matters.

the survey is conducted under the Statistics Act (Chapter 317). Under the Act, it is compulsory for the selected individuals to provide the information.

Really waste of time!

 

I don't mind doing it if I am convinced it will help but, I am not convinced at all. To me, it just a show.

Those confidential info they already have.general info, very difficult to verify. So, what is the point of forcing people who do no wish to participate to provide such info?

I also got choosen years ago. I remembered that letter kind of intimating...like selected and by law need to comply...etc.

 

They did called up a few times to arrange an appointment but of course I bulls**t them. Eventually did not participate in the survey.

 

I am still enjoying my freedom. so to conclude nothing will happen lah.

I just wanna say, do the survey la. If many avoid the survey and the ones who do provide misleading data, a false picture will be given to the govt who will implement policies that seem out of touch.

 

Like last time, how is it that mrt can keep breaking down but passenger satisfaction goes up? I don't think it's own self feedback own self but a case of people just putting "good" blindly to get the form over and done with.

 

I ever did a survey before. Something NSMAN psychological assessment. I do until we sit under my block to tcss for half an hour of all the problems faced by NSMAN (me) and what I think are the solutions. Until he say sorry he has to go cos it's over half an hour and he still got others to cover....[:p]
