QUOTE(seantang @ Feb 19 2010, 02:01 PM) Nope. That's not always true. That's too much of a broad sweeping motherhood statement to make. I couldn't have agree more. Sg is a country with a very transparent system, unlike our BolehLand.Added on February 19, 2010, 6:24 pm QUOTE(zenwell @ Feb 19 2010, 06:22 PM) For Malaysians who don't have PR status in SG, do you still apply for jobs that states: " only Singaporean or PR needs apply" ? I wonder how many can get job if most of the job requires Singaporean or PR? why do you wanna apply for a job that have no opening for you ?Added on February 19, 2010, 6:27 pm QUOTE(MPIK @ Feb 19 2010, 01:37 PM) Yes, Singaporeans are always offered a higher salary by 20% - 25% compare to Malaysians and Indonesians. probably in 'chinaman' type of company.Even PR salary is lower by 10% compared to Sporeans.

QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Mar 6 2010, 03:46 AM) hey me too... i'm in yew tee Added on March 6, 2010, 10:51 am QUOTE(rickysim84 @ Mar 5 2010, 05:26 PM) if u are interested to work in Singapore, it is better that u come to Singapore and search for a job rather relying on online resources. Recently, Singapore just Increase the levy prices causing the company need to pay more just to hired foreigner. So it us getting tougher just to find a job in Singapore. not only that, expected room rentals to be going up also since now the Gov set a max loan of only 80% for buying HDB resale flat from previous 90%. Not many ppl can come out that kinda amount, so a lot of ppl will rent.This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Mar 6 2010, 10:51 AM |

QUOTE(Joshua_0718 @ Mar 8 2010, 04:04 PM) Not worth going for Malaysia concert. I rather go for SG concert, much more comfortable. quite true, concert tickets are slightly cheaper in Sg compare to My, after conversion. And you could actually select your siting from the comfort of your home.In Malaysia, I paid RM400+ near to RM500 ticket for Jay Chou, yet I still need to sit on the field and just give us a plastic chair, leg damn itchy. Yes. Distance are damn freaking far away. What's the point? In SG? You paid S$100+ you can sit the 1st few row already. |

I do have a passport already. BUT i don`t know if its applicable to use it, since I only use passport for travelling purpose.

QUOTE(seantang @ Mar 12 2010, 11:33 AM) And you have to really love carbon monoxide to do the bike thing. It's terrible... they get herded like cattle at JB and Woodlands. another alternative is to use the 2nd link if your work place is near Tuas, jam is still terrible but minus the carbon monoxide poisoning coz the area there is more spacious. |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Mar 12 2010, 11:46 AM) Not worth staying in JB if u ask me. to bring the bike into Singapore, u need to pay $4 daily. that makes up $88 a month assume that u work 22 days a month. what about the petrol? i would rather pay around $100 more to save the time and most importantly. Johor is not a very safe place to live in (my personal opinion), no offense to johorean. you haven't factor in the food, rental and transport cost. A room in JB cost around rm400 (sgd166) and normal day to day food there is almost 50% cheaper. Probably his $88 + petrol $ per month is equal or less that your mrt/bus/taxi fares. I noticed quite a number of them using Sg registered bike, so no need for $4 VEP.I do agreed with you on the safety part. I always take extra precaution when I drive to JB as compare to when I'm in Sg. This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Mar 12 2010, 11:55 AM |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Mar 25 2010, 12:09 PM) not worth buying a car in SG la, u dun really need it and the island is so small, drive a bike will do if really need own transport. rather save more money for their properties. not really. sometimes having a car is more convenience. Heck, with the COE skyrocket i might be able to break even selling my 2 years old car in a couple of months if the trend continues. |
