why er? dun like it here?

Maybe not now, if you're early in your careers. But maybe later when you're on the same multi-functional team, or leadership team. Workplace politics is not a great respecter of departmental boundaries.

Stay away? Is that how you deal with your competitors?

Something tells me if you and I compete, I won't be the one who needs to stay away.

Well, since you want to get personal,.. you sound like someone who will never win, dirty way or otherwise.

I don't think I am wrong.

Anybody know what may be the outcome if..

Say one fella send in resignation letter giving 1 month, the boss ask the fella to postpone his resignation to 2 month while sending him on special assignment in order to try to convince him to stay, the boss by asking him to extend his resignation in order to let him think about it doesnt really accept his letter of resignation.

But the fella dont care about the offer and left according to the letter of resignation and the company has yet to accept his letter of resignation or even verbally agree to it and his permit to the company is still valid for another year.

Like trump used to say, "Its not personal, its business".

If prefer the quote in the movie "taken". Poetic justice.

I believe that singaporeans enjoy food more then malaysians since their deprive of good food and are willing to travel to malaysia to kind nice makan places.

So isnt there a contradiction if say the fella send in his resignation letter but the boss wont even touch it, but according to singapore employment, the boss has to take it? Or is that in the physical sense?

The fella couldnt be bothered, he just send in his letter, wait for the time and left according to his letter, i believe that the boss of that company didnt cancel the permit, will have to ask another fren about that.

If the boss didnt accept and didnt cancel the permit, whats the worst that can happen, assuming the fella doesnt want 2 work in singapore, ever. Will his name be in a blacklist in mom?

Also, i know a guy who used to work here and then got kicked out due to insorbordination, when the guy left, he didnt pay his telephone bills to the point that multiple lawyer letters have been sent to his old residency. Now that he's back with a job in IR, he should be in the clear since due payments of services like mobiles services doesnt seem to be updated to MOM. If not he wouldnt be able to get a job here again.

Just had a chat with the fellas colleague, seems that the boss wants to screw with the fella so he didnt cancel the permit. Usually banks have a higher authority then service providers. But it seems that its ok since like i said the other guy is already working in singapore again eventhough he has outstanding mobile bills.

Continue your degree in jail?

not really. although I owned a day car, I seldom drive to work even though they provided me with free parking, opting for Co transport instead. unless I'm require to work urgently on odd hours.

Was asking for remittance service in Jurong Point yesterday .. seems like currently demand is overwhelming... to transfer yesterday only can receive on thursday or friday . wow..seems like very good business.

Thanks Lester, I got to know from CC thread that DBS has lowest income requirement for foreigner at $45k pa.

For those who work in SG, do you go to Johor to get your groceries? Will the price be "cheaper" this way?

Thanks Sean. If I do not qualify to apply for SG CC, do you think its okay to use MY CC in SG? The cons I could think of is 1. extra admin charges incurred for overseas spending, 2. troublesome - need to transfer money from SG to MY bank to pay bills

Reason I'm asking about using CC in SG is because I got used to paying via CC in MY, as it is very convenient for me, no need to brings lots of cash & I only need to pay once per month. Plus I get cash rebates for my spending too.

i am referring to post paid plans. not sure if that applicable to prepaid plans or not. for post paid plans, u get ur free local mins and u just need to pay $5 extra every month from ur phone bill and u can use the 018 service.

Just a quick question, does anyone here have any idea if I could open a savings bank account (with DBS) with just my passport and MoM's Approved-In-Principal letter for my EP pass?
Fyi I have my medical report ready, just that my appointment with the MoM is another 12days away + a few days for it to be processed, so it would be at least another 2 weeks or more before I would get my EP card.

P/S: Btw, I have already started working so I would prefer to have an account opened as soon as I could.

Cheers.
