Then don't come to government sector. Stay in private sector lah. Private sector more stable and less vulnerable to economic downturns mah...stay there lah...why want to come to government sector...

Go or stay in private sector. So scared of government sector contract only... Just go to private sector lah... private sector gives you more job stability and job security for life compared to government sector. No need to come to government sector for you, ok?

If HR says still in the midst of processing the application, does that mean they have intention to offer? I got another offer from private, dont know should i reject private and wait for this job as i really like this job role.

Agree with the last two replies above. Saves you from having your sleepless nights then worrying about being on contract. Okay?

Stop self replying la, okay?

i was in a stat board with a degree. Now they flat out give contract to all staff and didn give perm after 2 years. Left the place asap, its a SB in woodlands. The junior staffs feedback why no promotions or perm and only got "if you work hard, you'll get it".

This statement have different meaning depending on the stages you current at.
Will require more information.

You done with final interview? Submitted all request docu such as payslip etc?
Have HR verbally offer you?
