One more point to note ... if you are working on 5 days workweek, you will not be reimbursed for MUP for a Saturday call up or ICT that falls on a Saturday. unimpressed.gif

 

This made me SBTL.

Not neccessary if you are holding 'Key Appointment' [nod][nod][nod]

 

My belated Hia Dee whom earned 5 digit salary was called up even though he was a down grader [;)]

I remembered that when I was with DBS, during reservist, I received pay in full and MINDEF will credit the service pay....

 

After my first reservist in the new company, pay was deducted accordingly and Mindef will reimbursed the deducted amount.....

 

Called Mindef and argued about my missing service pay but they mentioned no such thing... [hur]

 

Back then DBS was under the Total Defence thingy that allows you to drop everything and go for reservist..... guess only applicable to Stat boards and Govt bodies..

Haha...You are funny.

 

Why should you be shocked? This is how it has been for god knows how long...You thinking of profiteering from your ICT?

 

Get real, you are not suffering a loss in civilian income...Just take it as a holiday with free food and lodging provided and more importantly, the chance to catch up with old friends.

Not anymore...You will be called up regardless of income especially for those units having to go for ATEC. MINDEF can well afford it....bearing in mind NS men are more educated and holding better paid jobs these days.

 

Not only appointment holders...applies to all. Anyway, many of the troopers earn much more than those commanders/officers. [sunny]

Ranting and screaming here will not help you in anyways..... why don't you write to your unit for explanation.

 

During my time, I always get a reply whenever I write.... even got my RT exempted after failing IPPT due to my travelling patterns.

 

Wah... you good leh.

 

I got charged. And the bloody 2 crab just keep repeating ten-year series answers to my explanations without so much as processing my reasons. THAT was the event that made me completely and totally pissed off with the SAF

Hi TS, just to share with you.

 

I had completed 5 ICT and next is my last. Like you, I felt short changed by the way my company claim for my wages during ICT and the service pay. For every ICT or call back for 1 week courses, I actually receive lesser pay. But come to think of it, its National Service, Defend this soil against the enemy, Foreign or Domestic. I had sworn the oath and I have to standby it, honour it, live with it. Did you forgot the oath?
