CoolMyth SG when there are no elections? Sounds like a dream job if they are needed once every 5 years.
lckboy SG tink sleep 4 yrs, work 1 yr, go back to sleep....hahaha nice job !!! or work 1yr, kanna retrench, get another batch 4yrs later ??? sweat job !!!
DriftingGuy SG Hmm perhaps alot of part time helpers enlisted in the counting process.. the overseers are people from the various parties
ditzy SG They are civil servants working mainly in govt agencies who have been selected to do this duty. Selection is random. They will have to go for a bit of training ahead of time so as to handle the events of the GE. This GE, they currently have 18000 personnel on standby but not all needed since not all the constituiencies have been contested. Another thing to note is these selected people are to keep their selection to help out in the GE confidential. But of course they leak it out to people closest to them, which is why I can tell you all the above.
CoolMyth SG I see, I see. Thank you very much. But at least there shall be at least a few people working in that dept on a day-to-day basis, no? Any idea what they do?
NT2 SG no wonder the buidling for Election Dept looks a bit lock kok leh....like some louya building abt to condemn kind.
NT2 SG the logo they used...the signboard outside the building looks like part of a condemned army camp
