PES F & Civilian Work

blahblahblacksheep000 SG

hi i need advice from all the lao jiaos here. i have been given pes F after the checkup at cmpb. i will like to ask is there any discrimination of pes F ppl in the society? like hard to find jobs etc treated as 2nd class citizen etc etc?

the Bear SG

isn't Pes F something like you got a hole in the heart or something?

if so, no one needs to know

i heard that when u go out find work companies will demand see ur certificate of service. den if dun hve they dun employ u. is that true?

the Bear SG

maybe.. but most companies will require a medical test too.. this is for their own medical benefits and whatnot..

i think if you are going to find a job like say, an accountant, they won't really bother if you have a heart murmur...

cliched as it seem, it depends on what you got your PES status for and the nature of your job...

hey.. you know that colour-blind people are not allowed to do electrical engineering?

cheer up

oic.. yup i planning to work somewhere in the banking industry in the future. but that is office work. if i'm pes F does that means i am not fit even for office work like wat pes E clerks do? jialat lidat i might as well go request for pes E and lan lan serve 2 yrs to get that COS.

the Bear SG

nah.. PES E are for those whose condition, when triggered, is not life-threatening..

yours may be.. SAF is just washing their hands in case..

i knew someone who had a heart murmur, they found that out after BMT and halfway into SAFINCOS (what we call SISPEC now)

he was medical boarded, later given PES F then discharged.. from what i heard, he then went to uni immediately after and got a job..

don't worry lah.. the most, call up any bank HR right now and ask them if they need the COS.. or if they have any criteria about health problems...

good luck

nope, maybe HR may inquiry if u r joining the public sector.

anyway, medical health is usually important for HR for company health screening, its coy insurance scheme for employees and stuff only, both private and public sector.

Hi bro chunhui8

I am currently serving ns but was diagnosed with psychosis. Actually my condition can kena pes f but i’m afraid. Yea like what people say, pes f have a lot problems finding job. Moreover i’m a Singapore PR, will pes f affect my chances of gaining citizenship in future? I have been a PR since 3 years old till now 21.

U said u were also pes f and said dun worry. No offense, but did u face lots of difficulties finding a job. Did ur employer and the government treat u like second- class citizens?

Hope u can reply asap. Thanks in advance.

Regards
