Starting business as civil service
 

Hi,

I am currently a final year student and was thinking between going to civil service or the private sector.

Is it possible for me to do a side business if I were to join the civil service?

yes, regiester under relative's name perhaps?

You will have to declare it to HR.

Yesh. If your boss ask directly.
Gotta be honest here. If you are doing side business.
Making false statement to your superior civil servant is an criminal offence. Can be jailed.

mandatory need to declare to HR to avoid any possible conflicts of interest

So there are people starting side business in civil service? What are the chances of getting rejected?

it is 0.985 or 98.5%

One of my senior have actually started business, but not really sure if she declared to HR before.

If there are no conflict of interest, it should be allowed right?

Is there a need to declare local and overseas etfs purchased?

Yes. All stocks bonds mutual funds etc
Real estate shld be declared.
