SOP for all HRs in public service is to still "try their luck", but not push it if candidate refuse to. Because of what the minister said. Some eager beaver HR may take "try their luck" to the extremes, but just stand your ground. But they certainly will push hard for an expected salary figure, as they die must assess you based on your monetary worth, over assessed skills and competencies.
