Peacetime army, lah.
No need to get so carried away. When they first announced the 5-day
workweek, it didn't come with a reduction of the minimum 44 hours
per week. The civil service noted this cue, & tasked their
staff to stay back longer on weekdays in order to (theoretically)
facilitate a long weekend off.
Has the SAF done the same with its non-operational, stay-out
personnel?
