Can a New Citizen Hold a Senior Position in Government Office ?

[Rabbit7]

Recently, met a Young Indian IT Geek who claimed that he is "Singaporean", and is Head of "IT Department" in a Big Government Department.

Is such really Allowed ?

He hasn't done any NS, and from my conversations with him,
he does not seem Truly Loyal to SG (..only to make $$$$, then to find a Local Wife, .
..buy BTO, make $$$ after MOP, then to buy properties elsewhere, outside Singapore)

Is this a Loophole that many International Talents are exploiting SG ?

Use SG as a Stepping Stone ?

Has Anyone experienced Similar People from Various Social Circles ?

What new citizen…non citizen also can hold senior post in civil service

Your SMM of MDDI is a new citizen who never served NS. You don't know meh ?

So why not a big government department ?

S'pore's strong economy, political stability and excellent infrastructure make it a desirable location for MNCs. This creates numerous opportunities for foreign professionals. Working in S'pore provides valuable international experience, which can enhance a foreigner's CV and open doors to opportunities in other developed countries. As such, S'pore is a mere stepping stone to foreign white collar workers here.

Like Janil Puthucheary, Senior Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, who has never served NS.

Long before that happens, he would have become a Head of Dept at his company, and laid off a multitude of true blue S'poreans, to be replaced by his CECA buddies.
