Will DB affect you finding a job?

near SG

If a NSF went to db before, will there be a record which lets your employer check and know and than affect your chances of finding a job, just like how people who went to changi prison before have a criminal record and find it hard to find a job after that?

mhcampboy SG

Yes it will be on record.... Cool

If you are joining govt firms, semi govt firms, MNCs, security firms.... it will definitely affect it....

Diehard_89 SG

I don't think so

my brother kena DB before for something that he was totally at fault

and on his certificate never mentioned about DB..just his newly allocated unit, rank..and common stuff

Diehard_89 SG

huh really meh?? Confused

^tamago^ SG

not more than 7 days it’ll wun be on ur COS. 34B will also indicate normal MILITARY OFFENCE under conduct. and then… it might affect ur chances a bit if u wan to join the govt service except stat boards.

sir sickolot II SG

you know in those job application forms there will be a question on " have you commited any crimes before"..except parking offences...

do you write 'yes' if you went to DB?

^tamago^ SG

no. i thought they will say "have u ever been convicted in a civil court?" Laughing

kengkia SG

hey i went in two times each time more than 7 days leh...but my COS show only the mentioned unit...etc...but nothing abt DB/military offence just that conduct is satisfactory.... Laughing

kengkia SG

for me i will say no...cos application form black and white one mah can talk ya way out .....civil court usually means civlian court mah....nv mention the word 'military'... Laughing

Gordonator SG

even if the COS doesn’t state your duration in DB or offence committed, your extended ORD date will be shown.

sir sickolot II SG

oh ya hor... thanks for refreshing my memory

menoob SG

encik says >7days = criminal record
and also it depends on the offence u commited
like u r driver then accident go db still ok
steall hp this type condemn liaos

anyways private sector dont care or rather cant/wont check ur record

but gov job every thing also check

Xcert SG

also true...

Xcert SG

the conduct part is bluff people one...can suka suka change one.

kiddyduck SG

There are offences that are registrable...
Those like criminal offences found in the Penal Code or some other acts.

These offences will be reflected as a crimnial record.

AWOL and other military offences are not registrable and only reflect in your SAF Conduct Sheet.

Hope this information clears the smoke and clouds!!

eac SG

military court is military court,

civilain court (high court, suborinate court) is civilian.

don mixed up.

outside employers only asked for offences under civilian law.

govt job of cos will check since have govt is govt... have access.

Quinsy SG

hmmmm/.... nt sure. dun think so

gnoik SG

I dun tink so too.

Last time got 1 medic use MO account print own excuse RMJ for himself. In the end tio DB for 28 days & yet still can study in Uni. Rolling Eyes

near SG

What a dumb medic..deserve to go db for his stupidity

blitzonic SG

Yes, the police do keep a criminal register but, no, only certain employers (civil service, aviation, maritime, security) can ask them to help screen job applicants. Actually, I don't think a regular MNC have the power to do this, having heard of cases where overseas postings collapsed because the foreign country discovered so-&-so's background & then refused him entry!

As far as I know, only those with really serious military convictions will be recorded on the register. Not so much the length of the sentence, but in relation to the offenses committed under the Penal Code. You can google for the info yourself but, offhand, they pertain more to deeds like desertion, insubordination, assaulting a superior, mutiny, etc.

Hope this helps.
