Our Ministry Of Higher Education Can’t Send Emails

April 16, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui

Sietske:

The Ministry [of higher education] had to send an e-mail to my Dutch university […] That was on April 2nd. We’re 2 weeks further now. And I had to check whether that mission has been successful. […] They could not send the e-mail.
Why not, you ask? Well, there was the question whether the e-mail address I provided some 18 months ago started with a capital letter or not. I mean, the difference between Examencommissie.svj@hu.nl or examencommissie.svj@hu.nl, is really a question we should ponder over. For a while, at least.

With a bureaucracy like this, no wonder the internet in Lebanon sucks.
