It is obviously sinkie's fault again.

Who the hell puts "SAF" in their resume, and don't spell it out? You don't put such strange acronyms in your resume.
"Compulsory military service in the Singapore Armed Forces", or something to that effect, would have been sufficient even for foreign human resource personnel ignorant to the obligation.

Or the entire spiel could have been a ruse to discount the local's application in favour of a foreign applicant.

Usually the hiring manager is foreign while HR is local. But decision lies with the foreign hiring manager.

If you want to put army history in your resume then you should write it this way “SAF (IAF)”. Most foreign HR will understand what it means.

and whose fault is it that a HR manager of a company is a foreigner? Did that HR manager favour applicants from his/her country or university?

Hong Tat only talk halfway
but at least he talked about it.
