IMHO, I don't really like the idea of cow and horse. Why? You hop in you must stay for at least 1 yr and have some projects completion before moving to another co. that alone "might" kill you. The reason being is that no co. will offer you higher with 6mths exp in SG, unless you are really lucky or you gain some cert. Or maybe really famous for your 6 mths stay.

lol, we are Malaysian!

i'm looking for horse lo...
my cow seems a bit slow

Let's say if i get accepted by a company there, there will be a probationary period like one month or so right?
So if I have signed 1-yr contract for accommodation and 1 month later the company decides i'm not good enough, does it mean i'm screwed? has it occurred to anyone?

There are many Malaysia bashing Singapore threads lately.

Eh... I know this may sound awkward, if HIV test turned out to be positive, does it mean I have no chance?

And I came to SG for just 1.5 months and someone took off with my bag.
Talk about luck.

Hi seantang, thanks for guiding a good path for me. Actually I am initially working as an EE engineer in an IT comp. But comp reallocate me to IT department due to company strategy. That's why I won't like to move. This company salary and benefit is quite good, my starting pay is 2.6k and they rise my salary to 3.2k after 1 1/2 yrs, so I am confused whether wan to accept or not. But I think is time for me to escape from my comfort zone

By the way, nice job for your Bjtoto. But for my opinion, if aim high dividend there are still alots high dividend stock which have capital gain potential also.
