Extracted from CEA website on Salesperson Registration matters:

CEA shall determine if the person is fit and proper for registration after considering all relevant facts and matters. In the circumstances listed below, a person shall not be fit and proper for registration, unless CEA determines otherwise:
(a) Where the person has been convicted of an offence involving dishonesty or fraud, or any offence under the Estate Agents Act

(b) Where the person has had a judgment entered against him / her in civil proceedings that involve a finding of fraud, dishonesty or breach of fiduciary duties on his / her part.

(c) Where the person is an undischarged bankrupt or has made a composition or arrangement with his / her creditors.

(d) Where CEA takes the view that a person is not fit and proper after considering any other relevant facts or matters.

The person is required to declare all prior convictions in a court of law (including a military court), in Singapore or in any other country.

Example: A person who was previously detained under the Misuse of Drugs Act or served with a detention / police supervision order under the Criminal Law (Temporary Provisions) Act would generally be deemed to be not fit and proper for registration, unless CEA determines otherwise after considering all facts and matters (including circumstances of the prior detention / supervision)

Hi, I am William Goh, 17+ years in PropNex, also a Team Leader in my William Goh Division, PropNex, my hp no: 9477-3900  , and I am using Andrew’s account to reply you. Andrew is also my business partner.
From my personal experience I had advised a potential RES who also posted his question in this forum. He was jailed for 3 months on non money related offence and I advise him to write to CEA about the nature of his offence and CEA approved him to take RES course.
In this aspect, I suggest you write to CEA too. You go to CEA website to write in the feedback field. Since your case is not money related, I believe CEA will approve you, looking forward.
