May I know what is the cheapest way to call back Malaysia from Singapore?
There are so many phone cards available in SG, hope to find the cheapest way to call back.

You may enquire it at the IT show currently on-going at Suntec.

Visit M1, Singtel or Starhub booths.

What is the best industry to join rite now in SG?

My fren told me as long as dun join construction, heavy machineries and property and shipping industries, you are safe.

All these industries will not be paying out bonuses nor increments for the next few years as these industries will be incurring losses.

Looks like the rental market must be heating up. Even my super lenient landlord called me up to increase my rental by 20% starting from next month. Having said that, my rental has remained the same for the last 3 years.

So, what will be your next month's rental be? Where do you stay?

so far i have not encounter any issue using my DBS debit card in SG. But last time when i come to SG for interview, my friend follow me along and when he use his debit card in the airport, the transaction failed. its a Malaysia's Maybank debit visa card. he have around RM6k++ in the account and when he use it to pay a $140SGD transaction, the transaction got rejected and he got not enough cash, need to call me to swipe my credit card for him. same same is visa card but mine is credit card, the transaction can go through without any issue. he dam malu that day as i was sitting in Starbucks and he have to walk all the way from the shop to starbuck to look for me to pay for him. In other words, if using in other country, it is safer to use credit card rather than debit card. not sure that is malaysia's system problem or it is really the limitation by the debit card. but just to avoid the embarrassment, better to have a credit card for emergency usage.

Luckily he is not with a girl. Otherwise, the girl will need to pay for him. Then, damn malu loh

I have heard some people consider the performance bonus they get as part of the salary negotiation package.

For example:
Salary: 2000
Bonus: 6 months

Therefore,
2000 x (12 + 6) / 12
= 3000

So in this case, is it appropriate for this person to ask for a salary of 3000 and above?
*
Is your bonus contractual or variable/performance based?

1 thing good about Singapore is its HDB.

If one really qualify to acquire an unit, you are much like striking a first prize Toto edy, meaning a capital gain of at least 20% is guaranteed after 3 years.

hi all,i just wondering that if we work at sg...how about the promotion???

because most of the time skin and nationality can become a strong factor....even with the same qualification of coz the sg tauke will prefer local employee to get promoted rite?

Nope, SG strongly against this policy.

If you are a real performer, you can be the President or CEO for one of the Top 5 companies.

I think so. The amount of foreign workers is Sg have grew tremendously for the pass few years and Singaporeans are worried.

It depends whether you are a blue-collar or white-collar.

SG still very much depends on white-collar if you are a true qualifier and performer.
