long working hours

Now the civil servant will work long hours from 7.30 am to 5.30pm. Cuepacs cited the problems of families especially school going pupils. There will be much discussion before it is fully implemented in June 07. They have a choice of 7.30 or 8.00 or 8.30am. Why not make it 900am for the first group and 10.00am for the second group and ending it at 6/7 in the evening? In this way nobody will complain on the delivery systems. The public get the services and the civil servant get the time to attend families matters. It is also good to open the counters during lunch break. Of course the civil servant will have staggered breaks. Like what the hotels are doing for years. It improves the delivery systems to make the customers happy and appreciated. So for now I guess I will see grumpy crawling on the wall...
