Ya lor. When you are employee of their company, that information is P&C. But if you are interviewing with them, then the same information is "hello we need to have that, if you don't give then too bad, bye bye!"

and MoM have no guideline on this ?

i am not asking for M/SM
not realistic
I have applied for even exec, senior exec with my degree
been thrgh a few interviews but no luck with the Good News offer

wretched luck
confidence eroded

Actually what exactly is the motivation for companies to require background checks? With so many rounds of interviews and probation period, why is it still necessary?

See whether you are from competitor?
If there is a period of gap between previous job there and when you joining, should be fine right?

Crime records?
Hello is yellow ribbon a joke? This one as long as it's not something very serious like murder or fraud of 100mil kind, why they worry so much?

What to ask you ex boss for testimonial?
There are many reasons why ex-bosses will give you bad review even if you are a star performer. Maybe he is just petty just want to ruin your chance of a new job because when you left him for another job he felt betrayed? Or maybe he jelly your new position is better than his? Or maybe he just jelly your face more handsome?

Want to see your past salary for benchmark to see how much to offer you?
Come on la what era already, why HR cannot learn new ways to valuate the position and offer accordingly?

What else?

Can ask a question.

If I did something wrong. My supervisor seek direction and give me warning and counseling.
I agreed not to offend.

Later I got another letter say I am terminated.

Can the company do that ?

bro, i assume u born in 1982 due to your username.

r u employed now or jobless?

my honest opinion la, dont apply for executive posts with your degree, bcos most ppl your age should already be asst mgr or managers liao. if the HR or me saw your resume, will feel very weird, unless u dont mind entry level position or mid-career change.

No misconduct​

If no misconduct is found, the employer must restore the full amount of any salary that was withheld during the suspension period.

Misconduct found​

If the inquiry establishes a case of misconduct, the employer can do one of the following:

• Instantly downgrade the employee.
• Instantly suspend the employee from work without pay, for not more than 1 week.
• Terminate employment without notice, and no salary in lieu of notice will be paid.
