One is check human the other one is to check non human?

Actually Singapore Customs also check human which is the reason why they are trained in armed for certain scope of work.

One is check human the other one is to check non human?

Customs mainly deal with paperwork and collecting gst for those at checkpoints.

Ica to clear passports and check vehicles.

Ica gt customs related cases will refer to customs so those deployed at land checkpoints will be waiting to process cases referred from ica.

Hi, they only ask my previous job etc. Nothing much. No intro of myself also. But i already emailed them about my status. Because i got medical issue with my leg so need the SGH specialist to write memo and stated i'm unable to do the training.

True, I recently went for the interview as well and was told that the results will be given the following week so you should be getting your results very soon tho! However, during the interview they keep emphasizing on enforcement and that you have to be healthy to run so not sure if your medical issue will affect your results. Also, their training is not like MHA. Did they mention anything about salary cause mine didn't at all.

Edit: Called up for Medical Checkup 2 working days after Interview

I will have to wait for my thurs medical appointment then i will need to doctor to help me write a memo to Custom. So right now they can't cfm me to go for medical checkup till further notice. But my condition is not really forever. Even if running is a issue for perm. It takes time to recovery from it. But i hope i can get it. Enforcement got 2 types. Operation and intel side. Depends on it.
