I don't think anyone in SG dare to hire pinoys as security../QUOTE]
From my knowledge, they cannot be hired for security assignments. Only opened to Malaysians and numbers are restricted too. That's the reason for the shortages in this neglected industry.
I see. Thank you for the sharing of this info, my friend.
But I feel the shortage might not be entirely because of the restrictions of nationalties.. Let's face it.. the pay is not great. If you want good ppl to work for such positions, at least make the pay respectable, and then build up the image.
IMHO, the only difference between personal bodyguards and normal security personnel, is the pay bracket. If you offer more, then you could probably hire very highly-skilled and well trained ppl. If you pay well enough, and provide the training, and also have a good image, who wouldn't be a srcurity guard?
Imagine wearing a suit, sunglasses, and have a ear-piece for communications. MIB look.. who wouldn't? And pay not as crappy as what those in the industry gets now... just wait and see the numbers of young applicants.
But, local and even MNC cheapos want Cheap Labour.. so scrouge on pay, and still want MMA experts? Forget it! Dream on!!
