On 20th June 2022, I went to Spore by Ferry from Batam to Harbour Front. I have very pleasant experience the month before when I arrived in Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, where the immigration officer was very nice and smiley face. I thought after 2 years of Covid lock down, finally the officer become nicer and better. To my surprise, I have one of the worst...

my bad experience from custom on 15/01/19. The officer from counter 18 (duty on 15/01/19 6am) has bad attitude plus low efficiency in work. As compare to the next counter, he works slower (when he clear 1 car, the next counter have already cleared 7 cars). The worst thing is his bad attitude towards non-Singaporean. When checking the passport, he didn't...

Singapore Immigration singapore immigration officer

I am a Malaysian who is holding Singapore work permit. I am really sad and disappointed to the Singapore custom officer that I have met this morning at Woodlands Checkpoints (04 Dec 2017, time 6:45am-7:10am). I have never encountered such a nasty custom officer before and it spoilt my mood in the early morning. Firstly, I was waiting in a queue at counter and will using my passport and work permit to enter Singapore.
When my turn, it's met the time of immigration officer change shifts. The previous immigration officer shut down computer and starts to leave. The take over immigration officer busy requested candy from the previous immigration officer and kept saying she very sleepy. I wait quietly in front of the counter even the immigration officer made the candy more important than ON her computer. Today queue not so long, so I wait patiently.in between the time waiting her computer ON, the immigration officer keep asking the male immigration officer that counter just beside her counter, whether want her candy or not? The male immigration officer said NO, but she asked again and laugh and she enjoy be fun at counter.
After I passed my passport and work permit to her, I put my thumbprint on the screen machine. After 2 minutes, the male immigration officer asked her if work permit cannot scan is that confirm not valid? And she answered that: "may be the work permit was expired". After get the answer, the male immigration officer continues his duty and start talking with the girl that he assist. But the immigration officer that assists me was looking to the male immigration officer, she smile and immovable. She looks like forgot she was assist me because she start busy looking to the male immigration officer and smile alone. So, I tried to remind her and I said softly: "excuse me?" She shocked and look like been waking up by me from her dream, she was so angry and she said: "You cannot wait ah?!". She was so fierce and I only can keep quiet. It was my choice to go to work today even I'm just recover from fever and I still flu and cough and I'm in period. She doesn't want open the exit gate for me after passed me the passport and my work permit. She opens the gate for the person queue behind me, and start assists him. She smiles happily that what she did on me. After finish assist the next person, she shout out to me: "Go fast la! Why you blocked here! You want faster right?!? I looked to her and I saw her name" Nur Elaina". Well, this is the way she treat a weak and sick people like me.
Needless to say, I am very dissatisfied with the level of service and rudeness shown by immigration officers. What I say is true and can be tracked by the CCTV around 6:45am to 7:10am to prove that I am telling the truth. The working attitude of immigration officer needs serious attention. And I seriously feel that the relevant party must take an action towards that nasty custom officer.
P/s: I'm Malaysian that works hard in Singapore; I didn't do any bad things in your country. Photo taking and video shooting was not allowed at Checkpoint, if allowed you will see a lot of rude Singapore immigration officer shouting and scold Malaysian at Checkpoint. We just work at Singapore; don't treat us like a dog! Of course I know it's might not useful for me to write in because I understand meaning of: Evil people are bad the world over" and "All bureaucrats shield each other"; but I just want do want I should do and I believe in Karma. Thank you.

Singapore Immigration bad attitude

I am really angry at the Singapore custom officer I have met this morning. I have never encountered such a nasty custom officer before and it spoilt my mood in the early morning. And I seriously feel that the relevant party must take an action towards that nasty custom officer.

I drove to S'pore thru causeway at about 8am today( the 1st counter in middle lane, I cannot remember the exact counter number, is either 9 or 11) . My driving skill may not good enough to keep the car near to the counter, while a bit longer distance make me accidentally drop my passport on the custom counter when I handed over to the custom officer. He seem very unhappy, asked my IC numbers twice and I did answer properly eventhough I was not sure why he wanna to ask for two times. When he finished update my info, he purposely throws my passport on the counter. It is really unbelievable and I was totally shocked whenever I saw his reaction. When I wind up my window, I heard he scolded me while I was not sure what word/language he scolded. Since I am rush to work hence didn't stop and argu with him. And I think he really spoilt the image of S'pore.

Frankly speaking, I personnally feel the working attitude and efficiency of S[pore immigration become worse and worsen nowadays. You will notice a lot of custom officers seem work in a SUPER SLOW WORK PACE environment. Their reaction is slow, attitude is bad, and some of them always gather in a corner and do nothing.

I hope this matter is seriously paid attention to.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m Indian citizen who work in Indonesia from last years. Today morning (06/02/11) at 11.30 am I have a across a bad experience with the immigration officer(CI 2 KALSOM BTE BAKECHIL for CONTROLLER OF IMMIGRATION SINGAPORE) in Tanah Merah F.T. check point. I have got 2 years multiple entry visa from SINGAPORE HIGH COMMISSIONER IN NEW DELHI on dated 22-Jun-2010. But today above said officer didn't allow me to enter the Singapore with out showing proper cause. Even she didn't talk me nicely and also didn't tel me the cause. It's a great psychic abuse and harassment for a visitor. I write this just to tell that’s because of some bad attitudes is enough to spoil Singapore image.
Thanking you

Dear Sir/Madam,

I’m Malaysian citizen who work in Singapore almost 10 years. Today morning (12/01/01) I have a across a bad experience with the immigration officer in tuas check point. I write this just to tell that’s because of some bad attitudes is enough to spoil Singapore image.

I drove to S'pore thru tuas checkpoint at about 6.45am today morning. When I reach the counter I pass the passport to the officer(shamala Gowri) and remove my helmet. Suddenly the immigration officer asking me why you look at me? She repeat same question almost three time then I reply her do u want to identify my face or do you want I turn over my face to other side. Then she like not happy and said to me you all understand or not aiyo at the loud volume in tamil. The name of office is Shamala Gowri. This kind of attitude can spoil the image of people in Singapore. I don’t think she work at market but she was working for Singapore immigration.

In Singapore i have been many government offices but so far never seen people like her. Please advice those people because they lack of moral.

I am very agree with that. I found almost 95% Singapore immigration officer attitude very bad.
An example on 30 October 2010. I went to Malaysia do medical check up at johor bahru and direct went to Singapore by bus. I am planning wanna shopping there since i had a long time never go to Singapore.

After I reached Singapore immigration around noon the officer already give me very unfriendly face after that worse, she throw my passport on the counter and then give me the form to fill because i am not Singaporean.
The way she throw my passport just like i owe her a lot money! I am very Angry, i am coming from far way to Singapore wanna shopping but what i got is very unfriendly and very Bad attitude of the immigration officer. What's wrong if give me a hand ? if cant don't need give a rotten face of throw my passport

I am still remember the officer who throw my passport. She name is JOANNE THIAM.
I hope Singapore government paid more attention about this matter.

I wholeheartedly agree. I have found the condescending attitude of the immigration officers at the Singapore airport quite adverse to a happy entrance into Singapore. Singapore has to be one of the worst countries to enter for a visit or for a foreigner to return from leave.
