I applied for PR almost immediately after I got my EP.

IMHO, PR applications are approved on a case by case basis. If your application is strong enough (ie. you have good qualifications, good work experience (not only in Sg but anywhere)), they'll give you a PR because you're young, highly fertile and of the most... ummm, acceptable nationality & ethnicity (assuming you're Chinese or Indian Malaysian).

I can't agree with your "bullying" statement.
It's under agreement since the Singapore independent from Malaysia. There so many agreement when Singapore split from Malaysia. Raw water supply, rail station / track are one of them. According to the agreement, the railway station, land along the track are belongs to KTM (Malaysia) and it can only be used for Railway purpose. THere is proposal to relocate Tanjong Pagar station to Bukit Timah, to free up the land for other development. But there is some argument between Mys and Sg regarding the Station. If you know how much the land cost.. then you will not be surprised.

I don't blame you for not knowing history, I doubt this matter is taught either in MY or SG.

Lee Kwan Yew got in exchange what he wanted the most, which is the independence of SG. A strip of land in a remote and unimportant (for that time) part of the island pales in comparison.

Instead of expelling SG from MY in 1965, the other option was to have LKY and the PAP leadership arrested under ISA. If Tunku took this option, you can be quite sure that SG would be a very different place today.

went for my interview on thursday... the company says i am very suitable for the job but the HR say it is very hard to get a EP for me because my qualification is very low. I am only a STPM grad and the worst part is, i didn't collect my STPM original cert from my school. Now i have to go to the gomen to get my cert and e-mail it to the HR. The HR personal do inform me that there is a high % of my application getting reject. izzit true? the HR person is a Korean btw.

I am not sure how much they paying me, but i am asking for $1.8k the HR say any job above $1.8k have to get EP.  they have incentive and OT as well, so i think if $1.8k basic, then can fetch $2k+ 1 month lo. Its just a technical support call center job.

Yeah I got think of this also.. now relax in malaysia and thankful to God and my family/company that I'm quite happy and progress well with my work.
Each month I can save roughly RM4000 (as I don't eat meat and stay at home with home meal).

In Malaysia I found myself a bit hard to find a job, if to jump I will ask for RM7000++ but I am in IT line, not very strong in programming (compare to fresh grad), not so old enough to be a manager post… a bit difficult to find the job scope I like…

I felt since I still young at this point, I like to go outside and 'suffer' err.. gain working and life experience
I think I will give myself 1 or 2 years to explore this opportunity.

For my future, I wish to migrate to maybe New Zealand, Australia or Canada as I like 4 season country. So another reason I move to SG is that the SG currency more stronger than RM.

Anyway, thanks for your advice!!

helpdesk is generally lower pay even in malaysia. im not in helpdesk nature, im more into development. how is it for software development prospect in SG?

Assuming the reason you convert back to MYR is to earn a higher interest say 3% higher than what we get in Singapore, are you sure that MYRSGD wont fluctuate more than 3%?

Nope, I don't think it is advisable to save in RM because the SGD might anytime strengthen against MYR for a few %. From there, if I invest my money in MYR, I already lose out liao. But ultimately depends on where I want to spend my money in the end la.

As far as i know, they say that they will only catch ppl that is dling anime or musics. normally, i just dl TVB drama. All my friends says it is OK to dl TVB drama. But my uncle says who cares what u dl. there are millions of people in Singapore and most of them are dling these days. They can't manage to catch everyone. So just dl and dun care about them.

So your the one sucking the bandwidth and making night time net surfing a nightmare

Not seeding is opposite of the torrenting mantra which is "sharing is caring".
