No, your CEH won't help. A CISSP might bear a bit of weight with MOM, but not with most hiring managers. (I say that as a hiring manager of InfoSec for the past 3 years). CEH is also worthless without experience to back it up. For me at least, it wouldn't even have to be work experience, but if all you have is schooling, book study, and that CEH, it's worthless as you probably couldn't hack your way through a wet paper bag.believeinmiracle wrote: With First Class Honour degree + Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) certification, I think it would give me an advantage in getting the pass.
Sorry to hear about that but I have to agree with SMS on his last point that your ability to enter Singapore on SVP negates any connection to your mom's history. Very highly likely your lack of experience is the factor (I am not from information security field so I take zzm's words).believeinmiracle wrote:Hello all,
My problem:
Mother was prohibited to enter Singapore for crime she did. I am as his son, could not get neither student pass nor S-PASS in Singapore.
Here is my situation,
My parent was prohibited to enter Singapore for some reasons which until now I am sure not about the details. All I know is that, she was ever arrested by police in Singapore and had to stay 1 week or so in Singapore jail. Since then, she is not allowed to enter Singapore until now.
In 2009 (I was 20 years old then), I was oblivious about my mother situation. So, I made a decision to further my study in one of the private college university in Singapore. I was accepted by the college, but my student pass was rejected. Asking one of my tuition teacher (who is also a education agent) for help, checking why my student pass was rejected even after re-appealing. The ICA officer said it is Private and Confidential issue.
For some reason, my tuition teacher asked me to call my mother to come to Singapore (because my tuition teacher thought I was still under 21 years old and I needed parents/guardians consent). So, my mother flew to Changi airport. I went to Changi to pick her up but she was being detained for one night and she needed to fly back to where she was.
(STILL UNAWARE OF WHAT IS GOING ON)
Later i found out about my mother situation (that she was ever arrested and was prohibited to enter Singapore)
(The reason why she still insisted on flying to Changi Airport even thought she knew she was prohibited to enter Singapore was because:
1. I insisted that she had to come to Singapore.
2. She wanted to keep the "secret" from me.
3. She thought that, it happened years ago, should not be a problem.)
I am currently 24 years old, looking for job in Singapore (with the thought that I am independence from my parents consent, I am free from my parent's problem)
After going through stages of interview, finally i got my job offer with 3k basic salary. The ex-prospective employer tried to apply for S-PASS for me. But yet again, MOM rejected the application.
HR from my ex-prospective employer made a few calls to the MOM. But their responses was like: "Do not bother to appeal, the pass won't be granted"
Suspect about the officers responses, the HR asked me about the rejection matter, so I explained to the HR about my situation (Student pass rejected, etc)
I was then sent a letter of withdrawal of employment.
So, my questions are:
1. Is it possible for me to work in SG?
2. What should I do ( who should I contact, what should I prepare, I need advices)
3. Is there any expiry (or specific period on how long Singapore Government keep the criminal record)?
Additional that might be useful:
1. I am not prohibited to enter Singapore. I can enter Singapore freely with Social Visit Visa. (Never have any problem in Singapore)
2. I am single and I don't think I will bring anyone of my family (Parents or future spouse and children). As I am aware they probably think that I would someday make use of my S-PASS or E-PASS to bring in my "prohibited mother" into Singapore.
3. The S-PASS rejection case was happened recently (early Jan 2013). I am not sure the exact year my mother was being detained in Singapore, but it was about 10 years ago.
I am kinda upset with the situation I am in now. But then I read a thread in this forum, where someone who is prohibited to enter Singapore managed to enter Singapore again (legally). So I thought there might be a chance for me as well to get a PASS in Singapore. I really hope that I can work in Singapore.
God bless.
Err... so what crime did your mom do? Under which Penal Code? Etc...believeinmiracle wrote:@SMS
I was not with her when all that was going on. I was in my country.
@SMS & lynx
I have just called the HR to clarify how bad was the officers response.
It seemed that it was not about the qualifications, experience, salary or anything some sort of that, that the MOM rejected my application. It seemed to be a serious problem which they say it is Private and Confidential, and which I think it's my mother case.
OK let's put it this way.
let's say it is my mother case that caused the rejection. and let's say my mother did a serious crime (not just a petty crime)?
what do you think I should do?
I am afraid that if I take the wrong action, it would make the situation worse. The worst is that, they will ban me from entering Singapore with SVP too. I am not trying to be pushy here. But I really wanna know if there is anything I can do. Maybe security bond as MadScientist mentioned in lynx's link.
or is it really no chance for people who has problem like me and I should just give up hope on Singapore, and just find somewhere else?
I really hope that I could do something to fix this. Please help.
I would appreciate for each one of your opinions.
Thanks.
