this 1 I'm not so sure.
I went for ica interview on 16 dec08 and received the letter of acceptance on early jan stating to sign the contract on early feb.

But in the end , I never turn up for the bond signing.
Haha

Oh... why didnt u sign the bond? Is there anything you dont like about what they offered you?

Is it becos of welfare, working hours, places u will be allocated, training etc... share with me ok? Thanks.

What is the working hours like? 8hrs or 12hrs per day? Any extra info will be welcome, thanks.

because I received medical checkup letter from spf at the same time.

Anyway I do have a fren who is working as a ica specialist.
Chatted wit him and found out tat the job is quite stressful also, member of public sometime also like to "guai lan" wit u even though is their fault.
During the peak hour if u were to station at the motorcycle checkpoint , ho ho.
Good luck to u as the flow of m'sian motorcycle will be coming in like mad.

jus a piece of advise.not to say negative thing about ica.but do try to apply singapore customs at least at the checkpoint they are the most relax bunch.

abit on the ICA jobscope .As we are doing the job on behalf of singapore customs.we look high and low to find the contraband, they(customs) jus sit in office and wait for us to refer them the cases.

ICA is jus hectic work.if u want challenges sign up for ica ,but for relaxing work in office sign up for singapore customs.

furthermore ica is soon becoming HUS,what does HUS mean? this means must clear IPPT ,fail IPPT means been sack from service).

but as ICA not HUS ,current ica staff all dun need to clear IPPT as a requirement.

I applied for it too, but got no response. When did they contact you?

I applied at JobsDB career fair also. Instead of scanning my pass, I submitted the long application form. I wonder will they just throw it aside since it is the odd one out. No news from them yet.

I applied during Vivo City career fair in December and only got letter to go for test in early Feb so you got to be a bit more patient.

I'm undergoing 6 weeks stay-out training at HTA for the specialist. For those senior officers would be 8 weeks, an additional OBS for them. Applied in dec only to get an interview in feb. So for those who had just applied, be patient coz they are still recruiting..
ICA is converting to the HUS, but there's no need to clear the ippt till it happens. Training is not physically exhaustive. But we need to go thru police defensive tactics and firearms training..
