Pinoy: Why MOM Keeps Rejecting My Employment Pass Applications

Editor’s Note: A.S.S. receives plenty of odd requests from our readers. Readers have asked for advice on divorces, relationships, courting and clubbing, best makan places and even job recommendations. Although we do not publish all our readers’ requests, we felt you guys might be interested to read this message from a desperate Filipino, who asked us to help him secure an employment pass to work in Singapore.

For the record, A.S.S. does not have any power to influence S/E pass applications with the Ministry of Manpower. If we did, there would probably be more jobless foreigners going back to their countries. LOL!

hello admin..

i think this message is a desperate move for me to notice a M.O.M..because before i work insingapore at pasta mania for two years as EPASS and then after i finished my contract in pasta mania last year on april i hire in hanwoori a korean resto in singapore garden way and they have a enough qouta for SPASS during that time but M.O.M rejected my application..

my boss is appeal my application for spass and then after almost 2 months of waiting they rejected me again so i have no choice but to go back in Philippines last june 2014 and then after 4 months of staying here in Philippines my boss contacted me that they have quota again for me as spass but the M.O.M is rejecting me again..and last May my boss call me that they want to apply again my application for spass but again the M.O.M is rejected again my pass…

i just want to ask your opinion of what my boss need to do and what should i do for me to get another spass or epass so i can work legally again in singapore…and thank you in advance i hope you see my message because i really really love to go back in singapore and to work again

16 Quotes By Your Out-Of-Touch PAP MPs

I came across the following quotes in an article by Chan Joo Yee. The questions for you to ask and ponder are:

a) Do these people really understand you and your plight?

b) Does some introductions in a coffee-shop, old age home, hawker centre mean they are now ‘closer to you?’

c) Is your estate and Town Council management much more important than the national issues that will not only affect you, but your children and their children in future?

d) Are you prepared to gamble 5 more years with them in the hope that they will change overnight and abandon policies you don’t want?

Consider the following quotes by these very men and women who are urging you – to quote the PM, ‘not weaken the PAP team.’ This is what the so-called strong team you elected into power in 2011 had to say about you:

The Quotes:

1. “Singaporeans first policy would not benefit the economy in the long term.”

2.“It’s not the government’s duty to love Singaporeans.”

3.“Contrary to public perception, the White Horse classification is not to ensure that sons of influential men get preferential treatment. Instead it is to ensure that they do not get preferential treatment.”

4.“Retrenchment is good for Singapore. If there is no retrenchment, then I worry.”

5.“NSman’s service to Singapore cannot be measured in dollars and cents.”

6.“Well, everybody has a car, we have two — my wife drives one, I drive one. We are both professionals, we need to travel.”

7. “If you’re lazy and work less, you’ll have less Medisave.”

8.“Save on one hairdo and use the money for breast screening.”

9.“If the annual salary of the Minister of Information, Communications and the Arts is only $500,000, it may pose some problems when he discusses policies with media CEOs who earn millions of dollars because they need not listen to the minister’s ideas and proposals.”

10.“Some cardboard collectors treat it (collection of cardboards) as a form of exercise and activity rather than being cooped up at home.”

11.“How much do you want? Do you want 3 meals in a hawker centre, food court or restaurant?”

12.“It’s not for the money (multiple directorships) because some of the companies pay me as little as $10,000 a year.”

13.“People use democracy as a free-floating abstraction disconnected from reality. Democracy in and of itself is not necessarily good. Gang rape, after all, is democracy in action.”

14.“It would be stupid for any Singapore agency or NTU to advocate the learning of dialects, which must be at the expense of English and Mandarin.”

15.“CPF is not your money.”

16.“If chicken is expensive, eat fish.”

There’s probably a lot more, but you get the idea. This is the thinking and mind-set of the men and women you sent to Parliament the last time. They can scold, mock and try to do the opposition in – but do remember – who’s the cause of your all your problems now? Is it the opposition or the Govt you have routinely given a blank cheque to do whatever they want, when ever they want? And now they are telling you to consider ‘an enlightened self-interest when you go and vote.’ Is your self interests vis-à-vis your estate amenities, which don’t forget is what is expected of any Govt in power anywhere in the world, or is the national interests and your future as Singaporeans in your own country, more important?

You have a tough choice and decision to make – think carefully and vote wisely.

$150,000 Worth Of Sexual Enhancement Drugs Seized

If these sexual enhancement drugs (SEDs) had gone on sale in Singapore, those who bought them may have suffered from severe adverse reactions.

Under the Poisons Act, these SEDs contain undeclared and potent medicinal ingredients.

In a joint operation by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA), an estimated 50,000 units of these SEDs were seized from a storage unit in Geylang on Tuesday (Aug 18).

The drugs have an approximate street value of $150,000.

HSA and ICA officers had spotted a man carrying a parcel of SEDs into the storage facility.

They raided the unit and seized the drugs that were intended for resale in Geylang.

Then they detained the man, a 23-year-old Chinese national, who is now helping with with further investigations.

It is an offence to import, sell or possess for sale such products.

Anyone found guilty of an offence under the Poisons Act is liable to a fine of up to $10,000 and a jail term of up to two years.

Amalina Ridzuan Dan Ahmad Abdurrahman Hanifah Marican Ditabal Sebagai Jauhari Harapan

MEREKA mencipta sejarah beberapa bulan lalu sebagai dua pelajar madrasah pertama yang berjaya melangkah ke Sekolah Perubatan Yong Loo Lin, Universiti Nasional Singapura (NUS), menerusi laluan politeknik.

Semalam, Cik Amalina Ridzuan, 22 tahun, dan Encik Ahmad Abdurrahman Hanifah Marican, 20 tahun, ditabal sebagai Jauhari Harapan masyarakat Melayu/Islam – kali pertama anugerah yang diperkenalkan Berita Harian pada 2013 itu diberi kepada dua penerima.

Sedang masyarakat memuji dan menjadikan kisah kejayaan mereka sebagai contoh dan harapan, kededua anak muda itu terus berpijak pada bumi nyata.

Mereka sedar, banyak mata tertumpu pada mereka dan ingin melihat mereka berjaya.

“Kami tiba-tiba menjadi contoh kepada pelajar lain, jadi kami perlu berkelakuan dan menunjukkan contoh yang baik. Kami perlu belajar dengan gigih dan kami harus berjaya. Kami perlu menjaga reputasi madrasah dan politeknik kami,” kata Encik Ahmad, bekas pelajar Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah dan Politeknik Singapura.

Beliau, yang lulus Diploma Sains Bioperubatan dengan Mata Gred Purata (GPA) 3.94 daripada gred penuh 4, berharap lebih ramai pelajar madrasah dan sekolah kejiranan kini lebih terdorong mencapai cita-cita mereka.

“Kita boleh menjadi siapa sahaja yang kita mahu asalkan kita bekerja keras,” kata Encik Ahmad yang sedang menjalani perkhidmatan negara (NS) dan akan memulakan kursus perubatannya pada Ogos tahun depan.

Bagi Cik Amalina pula, Anugerah Jauhari Harapan yang mengiktiraf pencapaian dan potensi individu Melayu/Islam bawah 30 tahun menjadi pendorong baginya agar terus melakukan yang terbaik di menara gading.

Beliau, yang sudah memulakan pengajian minggu lalu, berkata ada banyak yang perlu dihafal dan pengajian lima tahun akan datang dijangka ‘berat’ dan mencabar.

“Namun setelah mengikuti kuliah selama seminggu, saya semakin yakin bahawa inilah bidang yang ingin saya ceburi,” kata Cik Amalina, bekas pelajar Madrasah Al-Ma’arif Al-Islamiah dan kemudian lulus Diploma Sains Bioperubatan di Politeknik Temasek dengan GPA 3.98.

Tekanan tidak dapat dielakkan, katanya, lebih-lebih lagi apabila melihat beliau perlu bersaing dengan pelajar lain yang merupakan bekas pelajar sekolah elit.

Namun beliau mempunyai strategi – kekal konsisten sepanjang tempoh pengajian dan usaha lebih kuat jika mendapati dirinya ketinggalan di dalam kelas.

“Bagi saya, jika kita mempunyai minat terhadap sesuatu, kita harus berusaha sedaya upaya untuk mencapainya. Usah biarkan halangan mematahkan semangat kita dan membuat kita fikir kita tidak mampu melakukannya,” kata Cik Amalina.

Beliau dan Encik Ahmad masing-masing menerima trofi dan cek $5,000 sumbangan Institut Pembangunan Pengurusan Singapura (MDIS) di majlis penyampaian anugerah, semalam.

Ini tahun ketiga MDIS menaja sumbangan wang tunai kepada penerima Anugerah Jauhari Harapan bagi meraikan pencapaian cemerlang individu dalam masyarakat Melayu/Islam.

“Di MDIS, kami percaya dalam mengiktiraf pencapai muda (young achievers) dan mendorong mereka agar berjaya dalam kehidupan. Anugerah Jauhari Harapan adalah satu cara memberi pengiktirafan kepada individu muda yang layak yang mempunyai bakat luar biasa untuk mencapai kecemerlangan dalam bidang pilihan mereka,” kata Setiausaha Agung MDIS, Dr R. Theyvendran.

Mohammad Alami Musa Ditabal Sebagai Jauhari Masyarakat Melayu Islam

KEPIMPINANNYA menyerlah sedang masyarakat Melayu/Islam berdepan dengan masa-masa mencabar.

Beliau mempelopori konsep Identiti Muslim Singapura (SMI) bagi menegakkan hakikat bahawa seorang Muslim itu boleh mengamalkan agamanya dengan taat sambil menjadi rakyat yang setia.

Usaha beliau itu menegaskan, tiada konflik antara kehidupan yang dipenuhi nilai-nilai keislaman dengan kehidupan dalam negara sekular lagi moden.

Hasil kepimpinannya itu, dan dedikasinya berbakti kepada masyarakat sejak di bangku sekolah lagi, Encik Mohammad Alami Musa ditabal Jauhari masyarakat Melayu/Islam tahun ini.

Anugerah yang disampaikan Berita Harian kepada individu atau pertubuhan Melayu/Islam itu juga mengiktiraf pencapaian cemerlang penerima dalam bidang masing-masing.

Encik Mohammad Alami menerima anugerah berprestij itu daripada Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Encik Tharman Shanmugaratnam, dalam satu majlis penuh gah di Pusat Konvensyen Raffles City malam tadi.

Mengulas mengenai pemilihan penerima Anugerah Jauhari itu, Editor Berita Harian/Minggu, Encik Saat Abdul Rahman, berkata:

“Jauhari tahun ini istimewa kerana kejayaan yang dicapai Encik Mohammad Alami juga mencerminkan sumbangan dan usaha masyarakat Islam bersepadu dalam negara yang serba moden dan sekular ini.”

Selain SMI, antara legasi Encik Mohammad Alami termasuk sumbangannya menggalak perpaduan silang agama, semasa menerajui Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (Muis) selaku Presiden eksekutif selama sedekad dari 2003 hingga 2013.

Sebagai Ketua Pengajian Program Hubungan Antara Agama Dalam Masyarakat Majmuk (SRP) di Sekolah Pengajian Antarabangsa S. Rajaratnam (RSIS), Universiti Teknologi Nanyang (NTU), kini, beliau berharap dapat meneruskan usahanya memperkukuh keharmonian silang agama.

Majlis malam tadi dihadiri lebih 300 tokoh politik dan perniagaan serta pemimpin masyarakat.

Turut disampaikan semalam ialah Anugerah Jauhari Harapan yang mengiktiraf pencapaian dan potensi individu Melayu/Islam berusia 30 tahun ke bawah.

Penerimanya ialah Cik Amalina Ridzuan, 22 tahun, dan Encik Ahmad Abdurrahman Hanifah Marican, 20 tahun, yang menempa sejarah menjadi bekas pelajar madrasah pertama ditawarkan tempat di Sekolah Perubatan Yong Loo Lin, Universiti Nasional Singapura (NUS), baru-baru ini.

Mereka menerima trofi dan wang tunai $5,000 sumbangan Institut Pembangunan Pengurusan Singapura (MDIS).

Berita Harian turut menyampaikan satu anugerah khas sempena ulang tahun Singapura yang ke-50 (SG50) tahun ini, Anugerah Jauhari Perintis, bagi mengiktiraf sumbangan tiga warga perintis dalam bidang bahasa, seni dan agama – tiga bidang penting bagi pembangunan masyarakat Melayu/Islam setempat.

Penerimanya ialah budayawan dan sasterawan Melayu, Dr Muhammad Ariff Ahmad; mantan Mufti, Sheikh Syed Isa Semait; dan pelukis batik tersohor, Encik Sarkasi Said.
