MingFreeman SG I think jobs are offered but they are restricted to the "low ranking" jobs like fruit sellers, bus drivers,mechanics etc "Higher ranked" jobs like office executives are still a no-no.
Ben_Ng69 SG my info, i knew SCORE have jobs like.. admin, driver, factory worker, car wash, car polish, KFc, BK n etc...........
tomsss SG Of course positions like office executive cannot lah... You want his profile to include "Beaten up 4 bystanders in 1999" is it The idea is to have ex-offenders a chance to have means to survive on his own and be accepted again. I would think they will be happy enough just to be accepted again.
Rock^Star SG Let’s face it…..very very few ex-offenders can hold white collar jobs again. Not just S’pore, anywhere in the world too.
GoOdOnE SG den wat abt those highly educated and veri smart and was once a office executive, gm etc but did one wrong ting and was imprisoned?
Ben_Ng69 SG If their previous company want them back, they can go back work while serving their program(tagging).
ndmmxiaomayi SG Such people were jailed mostly because of embezzlement of funds. You think the company dare to hire you again? Unless it's some other crimes...
GoOdOnE SG wat if they kana jailed for stealing company funds etc those stuff tt ‘sabo’ the company they originally worked for?
MohamedF SG Guys... the TS asked if GOVERNMENT gives second chance... not PRIVATE SECTOR... I don't know much but I guess with all that ribbon project thing, they better or else be branded as a hypocrite... The private sector can do anything they want... according to my dad, his company (car company) rather chose a Malaysian Chinese who can even write in engilsh than any other race that is slightly more educated... (his words not mine)...
Samuelpsw SG hv to see lor..when i had my tagging..i don really have difficulty finding a part-time job…guess becos those jobs ain’t tat high paying job and also slightly difficult for us to find like civil service job or sign on…i think..
Ben_Ng69 SG Maybe Score giving them 2nd chance but not employer. Who dun want cheap labour n can do alot more den other(w/o tagging).
Ito_^ SG essentially, they want the private sector to soak up the social commitment to reintegrate ex-convicts into society. meaning, they are encouraged to go work in private sector but no chance at public side, i doubt even in lower end jobs. this is what i think, by no means it could be accurate.
o0Nite0o SG hackers never fail to get jobs.. the longer the jail term in their resume, the more job opportunities they get.
hisoka SG what if they were jailed for mansluagther or soemthing similar. not exactly their fualt and no real onus on their integrity
spinsugar SG Yet under presumptuous initiative. The govt's completely missed the point - It's all about graciousness.. and that goes well beyond a "2nd chance".
