In general, masters are pretty useless. Competition for a masters course is very minimal unlike competition for undergrad courses. In a sense, you are nothing 'special' if you got into a masters program or even have a masters. Masters can even be completed in under 2 years part-time. Only certain industries require a masters degree. For example, psych grads who want to be counsellors should take a masters in counselling. In most instances, the value of a masters degree might be even worth less than a bachelor's degree itself. Not to mention masters are usually just coursework. Not hard to complete, go to lesson take exams, no real work done per se. Unlike Phd where real research must be undertaken and an oral defence is required to be granted a phd.

I would say depends on ministry. SAF's DXO line would recognise a local masters much better than a DL degree.

There is a short list of approved dl degrees. Not all are accepted. Civil servants who join with 2nd lower and below or with poly, then do part time master degrees at NUS are not promoted faster (hence cep doesn't change) nor are they upgraded from MSO to MX.

You are probably not familiar with civil service. Senior Officers refer to graduate officers. These include entry level grades such as MX13 and MX12, as well as superscale grades such as MX8 and MX9.
