Frustrating wait to collect biometric passport

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
I RECALL when I collected passports for my children in 2006, the whole process took less than 30 minutes.
However, when my mother collected her new biometric passport on Monday, she had to wait almost five hours before finally receiving it at around 5.30pm, even though the official closing time for the office was 4.30pm.
The situation at the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) building was chaotic. Submitted photos were missing; payments done online were not recorded in the system. Queue numbers called were terribly out of sequence. Some of the elderly folk present did not dare go for lunch as they were worried their queue numbers would be called in their absence. Many people were complaining about the long wait.
Can ICA do something to improve the collection process?

NO!

We PAPpies and our ICA dogs are too busy giving out passports to FTs!

Shitties can wait in line until our FTs are satisfied!

Old people..can wait until they expire lah!...ICA looking for PRC's mei mei's with golden "hum chim pain"....in which they will process any exit pass in 10 seconds flat...old people, say, thereabouts 5 hrs or next day, just like the old days waiting time for the governemnt Out Patient clinics...

You put in your card in the box, the first patient...you wait until lunch time, in which they close & go for lunch, come back from lunch ( they) at 2pm...doctor starts clinic at 3pm..closing time 4.30pm..you have not seen doctor yet, even you were first there..and they misplaced your card..& have to come back the next day...if you haven't died by then...

Looks like ICA going back to the old days....what to do, we have WKS as a ministar!?:o
