You talk like you have worked in ICA before.Have you?So you are saying that ICA have high staff resignation rates? My parents work for ICAIm already going to...

people attitude will change my friend.

You can join as a fresh grad full of enthusiasm, but when the stress and workload becomes heavy, your attitude will change.

Interview that time all say ok ok, when got the job and do the job, all will say not ok not ok.

And yes, once you take alot of MC, you will be ask to leave. They will ask you to resign.

My mother always tells me story about this guy, lots of character. the next time i ask her about him, my mother told me

" Terminated already "

so cute.

Govt job also can terminate staff for taking too much mc meh.

These staff should write in to Stomp or the online citizen to complain. I am sure the opposition parties can make good use of these stories in the next election

give them disclipinary actions.

Worst case is terminate contract lor.

The root of the problem is not mc

the root of the problem is why are u taking so many mc.

thats why they terminate you. becoz clearly, you lose interested in the job.

If I am working in the counter and get those sort of nonsense of staff taking mc again, I will surely write to the top about this issue.

That this mcs makes the whole ica counter looks unproductive and unhealthy.

Too bad, seem like nobody cannot do anything about it huh?

Or management simply closed both eyes and ears?

Just say you are really sick lor and not because you lose interest in the job.

They are not doctors so they have no right to say that you keng mc

The most they can do is to sack the staff lor. Than new staff come in also keep on take mc.

Problem is not solved.

Btw, TS is talking about a career as a ICA Specialist right since he mention uniform service?

Hi All,

I'm new to this forum, not sure if this is the right subforum to post my query, but if not, could moderator kindly help to redirect to the correct one? Thanks.

Anyway, I'm interested in taking up a career in one of our Home Team uniformed services, but SPF and SCDF don't suit me. Thinking of joining ICA.

Hence, would like to ask any bro here working in there, or know anyone who can provide advice on what's it like working in ICA? I want to know what I might be getting into before applying. Thanks!

I don't think you're malay, if not you won't be asking this anyway.

likeyou SG

Hey, notice that there are many malays like to work in ica.

Hi all again, I realise I have not made myself very clear in my initial post. So anyway, I'm gg to clarify some key points as raised in the previous posts in this thread.

1. Position I'm applying for is ICA Senior Officer - its uniformed service - rank Inspector and above kind..pay is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

2. I'm not a fresh grad, have worked for a few years in my old job, but quit since a couple months back and been looking for new job till now. Just completed a part time degree, and thought of joining ICA because I quite interested in uniformed service..but since I'm not Pes A/ B, SCDF, SPF, SAF all those are out. Checked and found out ICA will accept those who are not Pes A/B.

So well, really appreciate if someone can provide some constructive advice/ opinion on what its like to work in ICA. Thanks all.

Civil service pay is always fantastic, but never as fantastic as private. If you want a job that has work life balance, go civil service.

Have they already cleared you of your security clearance?

If not don't be too happy yet as I have heard of people not clearing tehir security clearance even after being accepted for the job even though they are not bankrupt, did not commit crimes etc.

They don't even know why they failed the security clearance

deathmaster SG
