DHL website lah...

IIRC, there's a flat rate for each Jumbo box to each destination if you don't exceed a certain weight per box (which is pretty generous too).

Lobang? Saturday newspapers and websites like Jobstreet and JobsDB lah. What other 'lobang' were you expecting?

Yeah, I get the same vibe as well from recent postings here.


Great idea. Let's start with you

What do you do, btw? And how much is your salary?

Great start


I have to decline leh. I just said it was a great idea if you post your salary. Posting my salary is not so great

But no harm posting my job. I'm an accountant.

Look at the box or instruction/warranty leaflet that came with your desktop or server. You should be able to find the IT support phone number for your product in Singapore. The helpdesk should be just a phone call away.

Ohhh... I thought you posted you were looking for IT support.

1. He probably got a promotion as an incentive to move internationally. Even 2 step promotions are not uncommon if they need someone to fill the role.

2. The allowances and condo... it's not permanent. That's what's called a relo (relocation) package and it's pretty standard terms in MNCs if you are not given an expat package.

But you were right initially, renumeration packages are generally S$1:RM1 for the same job/responsibility level.

You implicitly did, when you brought it up in an answer to a question which asked about which country had higher pay.

Companies will pay temporary relocation when you relocate to any country, not just Singapore. I was pointing out the irrelevance of your answer to the specific question about pay.


No they won't lah. The next employer for your friend will pay him the normal local package since he's already here.

Should be happy for them lah, since they are moving to bigger and better things.

Bye. Singapore's probably glad as well.

How is your GM checking? Checking against what?

You tell & give everything to your GM?

Well, what is it you want? Stay with your current employer or go to the new company?

So you want to stay lah.

Then why the "haiz" in your first post lah?

Make it sound like so victimized like that... when it's actually not a bad thing.

If you're deciding between KL and SG, then it's a no-brainer, isn't it? Even in the worst economic times, SG will have more opportunities than KL for banking & finance. How many of the big international commercial and investment banks are in Singapore? What kind of activities do they do here? Compare it to KL? Isn't it obvious?


To be absolutely frank, I have not seen any CFA candidates do the program at such an early point of their career (in terms of responsibilities ie. RM3.2K, not in terms of years). Most of the CFA candidates and holders I know are the Treasury and Credit managers in my company. All of them came under pressure from their bosses to do the CFA only after they had gained significant responsibilities. All were earning S$10K or more when they started their CFA.

Not exactly lah.

I'm saying most people I know taking/taken CFA earn 10K and above.

But I'm not saying that people will pay you 10K because you've become a CFA.

People pay you for your skillset, experience and character. They won't pay you a 10K salary just because you have a CFA qualification. In fact, CFAs only form a very, very small percentage of all people who earn 10K or more.

PR - PERMANENT Resident.

The residency is permanent. It's the Re-Entry Permit which needs to be renewed every 5 years. You need a REP to remain a PR while outside Singapore. So, as long as you don't leave Singapore, your PR is permanent even if you don't renew the REP.


PRs need to contribute CPF.

PRs also pay tax lah... aiyo... common sense lah. You think PRs don't need to pay tax meh?

Do WP holders need to pay tax... what does your common sense tell you?

So, Singapore is tax free for EP holders?

Good luck getting a work permit to "make the best of your free time" in the current "citizens first" environment.

Or Phillips Securities etc. I think all the brokerages have internet trading.
