Actually, transfer of service only applies if you move from Ministry to Ministry. The civil service implemented that because too many people were quitting and moving between Ministries to get better pay and career prospects. Also, Ministries also use the same career scheme - the MX scheme, so it's not difficult to do a transfer administratively.
If you were to move from Ministry to stat board or vice-versa, there are 2 possibilities:
(1) Secondment from Ministry to stat board - generally only applies if the stat board is under the Ministry (e.g. move from MOT to
LTA) and if the Ministry actually allows it. What happens is that you eventually have to return to the Ministry though (unless you quit to join the stat board).
(2) Quit from Ministry to go to stat board - applies in most cases if the stat board is not under the Ministry (e.g. move from MOT to
IDA).
Quitting though means you forgo benefits that you can get with years of service (e.g. long service award or additional leave after 10 years of service) because the counter for your years of service gets restarted.
Hope this helps.
