It is 11:55am Pacific Time and the IRAS site is down for maintenance. The other day was the Elections Department website down for maintenance.
This brings two questions:
1. The Singapore government has always try to portray Singapore as a global society. Global means all over the world. And you can't access their services during lunch time!
2. Why does IRAS or any other goverment department need to bring down their server twice a week for maintenance? Their IT engineers don't know how to run 24/7 servers? Do you see Amazon ever take their server down for maintenance? Even Sammyboy don't take their server down for maintenance.
