The WP / EP is tied to the company. When u leave a company, it cancelled automatically. Thus saying someone only hire one with the permit is ridiculous coz they still need to RE-apply the WP/EP if they employ those with WP/EP.
Story are different if the job seeker is a citizen or SPR, no WP/EP needed and they can start working immediately.

My expenses for rental, food and transport is less than $700.
but it depend on where u stay and where u work n what u like to eat...

So ? U feel shame because they think that we are still living on trees? They should feel shame instead.

Ya. but seem like non of ur post in this thread ask about the question that will be asked in the interview.

I saw this in post #4

Why need to care so much whether ppl look down at U or not??
Singaporean kiasu or not also not your problem. unless U want to be kiasu because all the person around you is kiasu ?

Sure, we need to know what happening out there. Else U would be like those Foreigner who think that Malaysia is still living on tree.
But u asking whether ppl look down u Malaysian or not, Sg ppl kiasu or not. What can your prepare for that?

I emailed JPJ last time they said I still can drive Malaysia registered car.
And supposingly the invalidation of the Malaysia License is done by Sg LTA. however, they just checked my license and return it to me.

Who told you that? Singapore Driving License is never a real international license. To get a international license, you need to apply for the International driving permit from AAS http://www.aas.com.sg/?show=content&showview=8&val=135

They will not refund anything. Ok, my case is they never destroy my license so different story.

My Singaporean fren hold his PhD cert until he get married becoz of the 8K limit.
Yes, he hold it because they wan to get the 20K subsidize grant / CPF housing grant. So mean your bf might want to get a HDB loan?

Err.. I found out HR in some company is not professional. My company HR also, they won't tell the real story, or even themselves don't know what happening.
If you work in Singapore for less than 183 days, you are considered as non-resident. and you will have to pay a 15% tax.
If U work longer than tat, then you'll be taxed accordingly. check here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individual_in...ax_in_Singapore

PR not qualify for subsidy but still can get HDB loan.. but if more than 8k.. then nothing u get..

Non of these show tat you are not Singaporean woh. Some Singaporean also cannot read chinese, but they can speak a bit. I also got Singaporean fren who speak cantonese. If I not saying I m malaysia, they would just treat me like a local. Or maybe I stay in JB for too long??

Or u can try mayban TT ?? Transfer $ into the POSB account directly from your mayban account??

If u are away from Singapore for more than 1 day, coming back to Sg by Air, and not from Malaysia..
Then u are entitled to buy:
1. 1 L of hard liqour
2. 1 L of wine
3. 1 L of Beer

So u mean u going to bring the hard liquor to Malaysia from Australia thru Singapore??
You should worry about Malaysia custom right?
Singapore custom check your baggage with the X-ray when you coming into Singapore, but not when you are going out.
Malaysia custom only allow you to buy 1 L of duty free liquor, when you arrive by AIR. I don think you get Duty free Liquor when you going into Malaysia by bus / car.. Ppl would hide inside their bag, and whether they will check your bag or not.. is depend on your luck.

Malaysia custom only allow 1L of duty free hard liquor for per Passport.

Singapore and Malaysia duty free rules are different! U have to see where U landed..

yes.. this is true.. all stated in the SPF website.
If u still holding EP After 12 month, U'll need to Convert to Sg Driving license if u wanted to drive in SG.

complain to them several time, then they will increase the network at your place after sometime..
but if u r saying not support the P2P then it's another story.. I still able to connect to Emule. but not sure about Bit torrent since i have not use it for quite long.

debbieyss interest to come work in Sg ?

If I m not wrong.. the 1st $21000 of ur salary is tax free.
How come $1200 x 12 = $14400. need to pay $80 tax?
Is it the levy for the WP??

I m using BBOM at home. No problem to login to LYN at Bukit batok.
Maybe is your location ?

I also got mine within 4 month, after arriving at SG, and I can be considered as fresh grad that time (at least my company say i m fresh).
But that was last time. Now not so easy anymore. Have to tell u the fact so that you don put too much hope on this.

nky_kevin: Just come to work and see whether they grant u PR or not.. I don think you need that PR status urgently?

It's 14 days before 1 March 2007.
After 1st March 2007, All ASEAN Citizen excluding Myammar can enter other ASEAN country (excluding Myammar) for Social Visit for 30 Days.

---
There is a rule, u can go in and out Singapore with a social visit pass (ie just with the chop on your passport) consecutively for maximum of 90days. After 90days, they will not allow u to enter for a few days.. How long, I'm not sure.. After that period, u can re-enter Singapore again.

Yes, some of the company accept intern from Malaysia. The company, u have to search yourself.
If your university can accept your intern outside Malaysia, I think everything is fine. You have to check whether your lecturer is willing to travel so far to look for u. (of coz they are willing to travel if somebody is paying for them)
