APO if corp n below gt OT pay alot, but i heard gt cap. N mostly jhk will chiong cos they here for $. No life one. If our local join most likely direct sergeant posts. But no OT. But will do those spotchking, drv arnd here there ones. Heard entry pay low mayb slight below 1k but alw n OT chor. If kena sentry duty under hot sun, jialat. Chk vehicles etc.

SPF mayb pay more or bonus higher but if kena those neighb patrolling jialat. Take reports by public, attend cases, if gt dead bodies hor say, sai kang jobs.....

I think cause got cut off date? Since you interview late july, then slots are open for october. If earlier interview then you will be for sept intake etc.

You are likely earmarked for more or tougher assignments than your peers. But is up to you to perform against all adversity.

Bro, honestly how about promotion opportunities to Inspector or above sergeant rank??

C does not have walk in interview unlike A?

Anyway I applied for C through their online form, so simple. Will go for A walk in also.

I think is premature to discuss all this now. Maybe you learn to cope with the culture first. Say after 1-2 year then see how you feel. Dun put your expectations too high.
