So is it finalise that for engineer in DSTA as of July2016, the starting pay is as follows:

All with NS
1st class >>> 5k
2nd upper >>>4.9k
2nd lower >>>4.4k

Anyone can confirm??

Why the difference between upper & lower is so much 500??

Wonder how much is the yearly increment like?

It's unwise to display all these negative traits when dealing with ang mohs cos they dislike s h i t like that.

what are these negative typical singaporean traits that some singaporeans have? speaking singlish, speaking half arsed sentences, taking your finger and scratching the back of your head when you don't have an answer to a question and making a funny sound at the same time such as 'hmmmmmmmmmmmm', interrupting people when they are speaking, speaking in a loud voice as though you know everything and a lot more.

another reason why you should up your game with them is cos sometimes lets say you're sick of your mundane bureaucratic life and you want a fresh challenge, who's gonna give you a job with similar or higher salary? This is where the ang moh comes in. They have very good extensive networks. If they like you they will help you. Otherwise you can dream on and continue day dreaming in your office for the next 20 years before they change the system again and rename it with such power name but in essence its the same old thing.

it's a trend as history has shown us several times before. From NUSAF to DXO to MDES and goodness knows what else next time. you can be sure that the person that comes up with the new name for this scheme will get a promotion or perhaps some medal for his contribution.

you got any other questions then ask here.

You my friend is also a one big wayang. I really pity those that believe in the words you said. Lol. You can't even differentiate between DSTA and MINDEF.

Upper can study Phd, lower cannot

This increment is due to the recent news regarding salary increment for engineer. LTA engineers salary also increased alot

Depends if you can bring over your experience. What is your annual remuneration package?
