I received a call on my mobile phone from an unknown Singapore number. I answered it.
There was no answer for a while. Later, a person with a foreign accent spoke. After speaking a while, she said "How are you today".
It is the SOP script for a telemarketing.
I leave the phone on hold. She said, "Hello " a few times before signing off. This will be my future response to telemarketing calls.
Clearly, the call is an infringement of the Privacy and Data Protection Act. I have registered my mobile phone under the "Do Not Call" register under PDPA.
I know that the register is useless. That is why I do not wish to make any report.
The PDPA adds to the cost of doing business and does not really serve any useful purpose.
Will the govt review the PDPA?
