Depends. Its either very high ranked or very low ranked. MOM does a huge census survey each year. So they do employ lots of people to carry out the administrative duties and the survey taking as well. So these are very very low ranked people, literal survey monkeys, and because the surveys are done based on quota, one can actually free up a day of work if he/she completes the weekly quota of surveys in 4 days.

MOM is not relaxed. But as a ministry, I think its one of the slowest IMO. And the dept heads don't have their supervisors in their office with them. Meaning they can simply leave office early and no one can stop them. I've seen this happen before first-hand. I initially thought my dept head had some meetings to go to, but in fact she headed home and openly said it, happened more than once, but I was just a temp survey monkey. That's the problem with ministries. So far I've seen this happen in Mindef and MOM. Due to the fact that departments work in silos and the dept head is the 'biggest' person in the office, there are no checks on him/her. That's where your taxpayer's money are going to btw, lazy civil servants.
