  • Singaporean Auxiliary Officer Not Good Enough?

    Singaporean Auxiliary Officer Not Good Enough?

    I am a auxiliary officer and have been working for close to 2 years. I have many friends that apply security part time work after they finish polytechnic. Nowadays i see there is more demand for security type of jobs.

    But now they are outsourcing to Taiwanese? I know people that are willing to do security job work ok, so don’t say that local Singaporeans don’t want security jobs. People are already looked down for choosing security guard as their first job after finishing school. It doesn’t help these people’s confidence in the job. If employers want to retain them, they must do something. Only officers like us will know this feeling.

    Even salary difference between us and the future Taiwanese officers is so big. What’s the differences they have to get more starting pay than us? They graduate from their own uni we graduate from poly but end up, we do same job. If do same job then why give them higher pay….so they coming here to become supervisors? I have my own family to feed and take care of my parents. actually we should get higher pay.

    They are seriously over qualified but they believed the prospects and career in Singapore as security personnel is fulfilling.

    All of them, and myself discussed this prospects 2hrs ago and concluded that once they get accepted, many more will join them.

    What say you?

  • Two Checkpoint Officers Who Failed to Stop Malaysian Teacher Face Disciplinary Action

    woodlands checkpoint

    Two immigration officers who failed to stop a Malaysian teacher at both levels of checks at the Woodlands checkpoint, allowing her to slip into Singapore illegally, have been redeployed and face disciplinary action.

    Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean revealed those and more details of the border breach in Parliament on Monday in response to five questions filed by MPs.

    Kedah state native Nurul Ruhana Ishak, 28, evaded Woodlands immigrations officers on Jan 17, and was only arrested three days later. She has been charged with criminal trespass.

    When Nurul slipped past the first check by tailgating a car, the immigration officer concerned consulted another officer and hesitated, and took 2.5 minutes to sound the alarm instead of sounding it immediately, said Mr Teo. The second auxiliary police officer tasked with conducting boot checks and counting vehicle passengers subsequently did not stop Nurul’s car nor did he sound the alarm.

    “I do not know the reason why, they’re not new officers and have been in the service for some years,” said Mr Teo. “Looking at their records, they have been in general good officers.”

    Their slow response compounded the “serious error of judgement” made by multiple agencies when grounds officers “decided to treat [the incident] as a less serious immigrations offence” rather than a “major security breach”.

    This in turn meant that the police “did not put out high level and persistent alerts to all ground forces”, nor was Nurul’s particulars and those of her car circulated.

    No passport or identification was found on her during her arrest on Jan 20, when she tried to force her way into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs compound while in her red Perodua hatchback. That led to the trespass charge.

    She has been in remand at the Institute of Mental Health since, and is due to appear in court for the first time on Feb 26.
