Panasonic interview questions

I applied online. I interviewed at Panasonic R&D Singapore There were 2 interview rounds with Technical Manager and General Managers. Interviewers are well organized and professional. Interview processes were smooth until HR replied with "No quota to apply the pass". I thought "proper" HR would check staff budgeting and quota before arranging the interview since the candidate already provided personal particular inside the application. Why need to arrange multiple interview rounds when there is no quota? Kudos to HR that successfully wasted the time of candidate and interviewers. This negative experience is only meant for HR.
