try to find choa chu kang or woodlands area, with 700 it is not hard to get a decent room (a bit hard for master bedroom). if the place is nice dont bother about cooking, usually house owner wont allow u to cook. my house owner doesn't even allow me to use gas stove, only a tiny electric water boiler so i can cook instant noodles.

hi guys, i got an important update for PR application.

applicant need to have appointment for the full submission!!!!!

this morning, i went to lavender ICA building at 7am. the officer told me that i need to have appointment before i can do the full submission. i can go through e appointment or submit the Form 4A (the application form) WITHOUT the supporting documents into the drop off box at the ICA building (which is what i did). 3-5 working days later ICA will send me a appointment letter and assign me a time to do the full submission (need to bring the supporting documents + photocopy).

they just changed it not long ago so...

means that u have to work one year for the company, then they will give u 7 days of annual leave. yes any leave u apply before one year is not annual leave. check with ur employer / HR / colleague about this.

base on the info i gather, for 3 years working in sg i declared my income in singapore, so i don't have to declare again in malaysia. so no tax from malaysia, only sg. as i read from some law related site income only need to declare once in either sg or malaysia.

if that's the case, good luck and continue to wait till there is a suitable job offer. else u can look for job in malaysia, thailand or other countries like china, taiwan, australia. if there is really no luck in singapore and u dont have the urgency to get a job, just sit n relax or get some short term course to study.

i'm also MMU-ian. but i studied FCM la

i don't face a single problem being MMU grad. in fact i was having smooth time for work permit application & PR application although u know la... our cert is bloody simple, like a fake one. most ppl will question the cert.

huh? just now i think i saw suntec's money changer offer 2.445. last saturday i change at choa chu kang 2.43. i prefer to change in singapore than JB, but dont know about KL

Yeah! I still remember those idiotic local Uni give me ******* subjects that completely not related, at the end forced get loan and study MMU. i rather donate all tax to poor people than feeding the uni's leeches. my friend said they pay bloody high for those whoever doctor & phd.

we should remain our awareness in SG as well. take care of our bags, be extra careful when cross the zebra crossing... everywhere also got crime, we should try to prevent it.

you can extend ur social visit pass ONCE with ICA. that should allows u to stay in singapore for longer period. google the singapore ICA site for more info.

nope, there are chances that u fail to become a PR even u married to a PR or even singaporean depending on your condition. you can apply for dependent pass in this case. i dont think u can apply for work with dependent pass, and it order to get the pass ur partner must have sufficient income to sustain both of u.

i'm looking for a institute to study as well. is MIS (marketing institute of singapore) one of the singapore edu body?

i dont get what u mean. as long as the singapore company is paying u (PR) as an employee they will submit the portion to CPF, regardless where you are. unless u r transferred to the country and employed under the company over there. but in that case why u need singapore PR?

if u want to work in malaysia and earn sgd, think of an idea to allow sg company to outsource their job to u in malaysia, like how india company provide call center and IT support to US. then u can earn long term money. i got designer friend do freelance for US client and earning USD, how u think?

if that's the case y bother to work in SG in the first place? since the same position can pay u the similar amount of money

i miss him too. during his time there are so little shits happend compare to current state where the whole nation is drowning in shit.

well i dont know much about his policy etc during his time since i was a kid and not interested in politics. but i do miss the time where malaysia is in a much peaceful state compare to what we are having now, after badawi take over his place.

aww... did u guys feel the earth quake around 6.10pm? my office @ 4th floor shaked 3 times. the shake is not that strong so no body bother to evacuate.

the news mentioned that there is an 7.6 magnitude earth quake in south sumatra (near padang, to me it looks like middle south).

btw, I just got my pr status. Now waitting for the blue IC took me 2.5 months to wait for the application to approve.

it means ur employment pass type is Q1 type. there are P1, P2 and Q1 for employment pass

>__< me and my gf are looking for entry level job since we want to change industry (from advertising to some other field). currently looking for jobs like admin / management / marketing executive.

As I know Boon Lay shopping center (not jurong point) have a few money changer that can remit money back to certain malaysia bank with much lower cost and better exchange rate. But it is kinda far for me, check the shop if u stay near that area
