Expiry Date?

Was just registering for Relief Teaching under the MOE website, and came across a column for entering NRIC.

There was an Issue Date, and Expiry Date column right below.

So I went and got my IC out, and keyed in the Issue Date, and seeing no Expiry Date, I just left it.

Next.

Error: Please key in Expiry Date in DDMMYYYY format.

Huh? Went back in to get my IC. No expiry date what! Or is it common knowledge that an IC only lasts a number of years? Google that. No answer.

Next!

Error: Please key in Expiry Date in DDMMYYYY format.

Grr! Ok fine, maybe I key in the same as Issue Date then.

Next.

Error. Expiry Date cannot be the same as Issue Date. What the... went and called up MOE Helpdesk. "Oh, just leave both the Issue and Expiry Date columns blank."

Argh!

There were a couple more things in the form that were rather wierd. Another was Start Date and End Date under the 'O' Level Cert section. How do I remember when I took my O level paper in the DDMMYYYY format?! And the end date could not be altered, its set at 31.12.9999. Wierd... I just keyed in today's date in Start Date.
