Currently I am had graduated from NP and waiting for my enlistment on the 16 June 2009 to Tekong Camp 1 but I had always waited to just the police force and planned to sign a 5 years bond. I submitted my resume a month plus before the enlistment date and waited for the reply but after a week later I called the SPF recruitment division and the said they had rececived my resume but can't process it as it takes about a month and a half for standard procedures for me to enlist to spf and defer from army.. I really wanted to join in the police force but I am stuck with this, there's only 3 more weeks left before my enlistment to army what can I do to be enlisted into the spf as I really don't want to waste my 3 months with the army or the coming 2 years.. Pls Advise

You should post this in the SAF section instead.
You have no choice but to go army, and I am pretty sure in this situation, you will be forced to finish BMT before you can jump over to SPF.
And you better ask them more about the defer thing. If you are deferred, not transferred, you will still have to go for NS, just that it will be at a later time in your life.
to keith:
just wait for interview during basic military training in tekong......they will call u during training to attend interview back in singapore police force recruitment centre n ask u to sign contract.it. takes a long time for gov to process things like that months..n they also need to see if u are physically fit n disciplined in bmt as well
think your police career n posting out would be after army bmt ..when everbody get posted out to their various army,airforce,navy units etc etc
if the economy suffers n government got no more money then......different story.but i think its cheaper getting new people than letting older police stay on.so its up to police budget...economy n stuff beyond your control.
thanx for the advises..
too late for them to remove you from mindef list.
I applied 6 mths before i graduated.
Just nice.
If u need to know anything regarding the process just pm me.
I was told that they needed about 1 and a half month will it be possible for me to defer from the army which will allow me about two months to be join the spf?
u think what... ur grandfather army is it...
u ask defer, they give in meh...?
wait long long...
if u dont appear on enlist day at the ferry terminal, military police go ur house, knock ur door...
