Same here.. I apply for PR after 1.5 month I reach Sg. I only submit 1 Pay slip, copies of passport / birth cert / work pass / degree certs / a testimonial from company and form 4A. My employer didn;t fill in Annex A.

If your are qualify for EP, most likely you will be able to get your PR.

I used to travel back to JB during weekend.. If not mistaken, it's only last year, where I notice suddenly the 2 special lane reserve for Sg passport used to be quite empty was so crowded. I was wondering why so many singaporean wanna jam with us. After a few weeks, I notice some of them are using dark red color Passport (malaysia), not the orange-red color passport. The Auto gate is actually not design for Malaysian PR, so they never mention about it. haha

The only one time I am asked to use the Auto clearance gate is when I travelling by KTM train. The office ask those who is Sg citizen / PR to use the Auto gates, as the Check point manual counter is so crowded but the auto gates is empty.

Added on May 24, 2009, 11:10 pmthe rate is given in http://mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/Members/Gen-Info/C...es/ContriRa.htm

The contribution rate suppose to be
1st year employee 5% / employer 4%
2nd year employee 15% / employer 9%
3rd year onwards, employee 20% / employer 14.5%

But you can negotiate to ask the company to pay Full 14.5%, and you pay the 5% for 1st year and 14.5%/15% for second year.
Or you and your company both pay the full amount (3rd year rate) from 1st day.

End of this year FireFly will fly from Sg to Melaka...

For me, I m happy to hear that Firefly will fly from Sg to Subang..
Coz if flying to LCCT/KLIA, I have to pay more and spend more time on the road..

For a company, there is a quota on how many Foreigner they can employ base on how many Local Citizen / PR they have.
For example: maybe for every Sg citizen, they can employ 5 foreigner. And in these 5 foreigner, only 2 can be holder of WP, 2 can be S-pass and the other 2 must be holder of Q-pass or higher. If there is no such quota, all the company will employ many Foreign worker, and there will be no job for the local.. Since local always ask for more. There is a levy for WP holder and EP holder at different rate.

If you are a SPR staying in JB will not allow you to drive your Malaysia registered vehicle into Sg. Only EP / WP holder can do that.
They are suppose to get a SG Driving license after staying in SG for more than 1 year. But I believe many of the driver didn't convert their license.

Sorry no proof. It's for the entry level. not experienced staff. Example from my company is Like tat. A Singaporean guy with NS, salary is about $500-$700 higher than a guy w/o NS.. and these guys, (at least 3 ppl I talked to) still complaining salary too low.

It's not just what your course you study. Although it;s true that the course you study and what you have done during your final year will affect your choice of Job. But for EE graduates, the option is more that what I have as a Science Graduate. So it;s always a personal issue rather than what you have studied..

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.

Added on July 5, 2009, 10:51 amThe 6 month payslip is not necessary. I emailed to ICA before I apply for the SPR.
I apply for PR after 1 month (I am waiting for my payslip, and actually this is not necessary as my company give me a testimonial mentioning about my paid and contract status). I got the PR after 3 month. I am considered as fresh grad that time. My fren who work in Sg for 1 year get it in about 1.5 month. So.. it's really case by case basis. If you are a Young Malaysian with good education qualification, earning above a certain threshold, you can get the SPR easily.

In short:
1. An excellent academic result won guarantee a good career..
2. a very bad result.. certainly will lower your scores.. you'll have to find ways to add your own value.. chances are always there..

just like ppl say "money is not everything, but without money, u can do nothing".

I come to kacau again.. Haha..

A same sentence spoken to different people will be interpret into different meaning.. Sometime people just confuse between a question and statement.

I always have to mention, whether I am giving a statement or asking a question...

Nice comparison..

crime or not depend on many factor.. I had been in JB for 10 years. Nothing happens to me.. Can say I'm lucky? Maybe

If u don mind stay far the rent is much cheaper.. I stay about 25km from JB causeway. Rent a house with my frens for about RM500-600

but then, considering everyday I have to spend 6-7 hour for travelling from Sg to home everyday.. i chose to stay at Sg.

Its holiday!! guess this thread will be quiet for quite some time..

If u go other country as tourist, u can drive local car using your Malaysia license, for short period.

if not, what the car rental service at airport for ?

Not sure whether is legal or not to drive Sg car in Malaysia using malaysia license. You can email to JPJ to check.
I do email JPJ last year and they said we can drive Malaysia car in Malaysia with Sg License.

Singapore Driving License is NOT an International Driving License, although many ppl think it is. For a real International Driving License, you will need to apply for International Driving Permit (IDP) from AAS. http://www.aas.com.sg/?show=content&showview=8&val=135 So is Malaysia driving license. But what happening out there is that if you staying at certain place for a very short period (not as a resident), they will drive with their own country license.. Or in fact, many ppl drive Illegally.

har.. The authority check the HDD content ar...

The rent will follow the real properties price. If the real properties price continues to hike, my landlord is likely to hike my rental also..

Oh... Having Child porn.. will make his penalty more severe... good luck to him..

Your tap water pressure very high lo.. 300ml/s... Depend on type shower head, but 300ml/s is might be too much.

It's really save alot if take bath using pail. I only need 2 standard pail.. which might be. err 40-50L ?
