Is it cheaper to get cans of abalone in sg compared to my?

Yeap

wow ya geh ?
ok ok must buy when go to sg.
tks for sharing.

By how much?

I notice the "moon" brand is very popular. Never bought one of those since my family doesnt really appreciate abalone.

then give us know a better answer if you have one.

for non oil and gas, 3K- 8k is reasonanle to me. Some sale engineer have a low basic but have a cut from their sales. As mentioned, there is a supply of enginner from some country with 5 years working experience and willing to take 3K+ pay. To them, the entry ticket to SG alone worth more than their salary.

Most engineering degree depreciate as technology change. Engineering jobs that value experience hands are getting lesser in SG. Most company just do modular replacement or out source complex task to cheaper country etc, so the company can hire any enginner to do that kind of jobs.

Nowadays even simple repair jobs are being outsourced to china. But people do it at their own risk or are desperate. Recently there was one DNV ship which came from china, the whole engine room was flooded with fuel since the fuel lines were done in china. I heard the DNV surveyor in china is gonna get it, but then again, you get what you paid for and the ching chong surveyor was doing his job ala "close one eye".

I had a colleague who went to china and noticed most of the workers over there are unskilled, talk about asking a farmer with no prior knowledge in machine fabrication to do their job properly and in accordance to DNV standards. Heck they even defecate themselves in the workplace, and a woman no less.

I guess everybody in the shipping industry will have headaches once china produced start pumping out at an increasing rate due to south korea and japan shipyards having their hands full with pre-orders till 2012.

i dun mind if u can get me a plcae without paying agency fee.
win win situation.

Anyone here wanting to live around Boon Lay this august 2010? I am looking to share to rent a HDB apartment with malaysian (preferably chinese) as it is very hard to find a room.

same as iphone and most PCB production.

Who make the call?

- The consumer who demand for "value for money" or cheapest product?
- The managemnet train boss who can only understand sales chart and profit margin?
Quality? Just ask the marketing guys to "rebrand" "reposition" the same old product.

- The under power young enginner who always want to refine the spec that only engineer appreciate it.
- The old bird engineer who just do what boss says or what the cunsumer willing to pay?

That's my view on engineering environment in SG. I hope I am wrong.

Hi crapp0, you seems to be in marine industry..
are you equipment supplier or someone in the yard ?

Wan to ask, which will be a faster way to get job in Spore

a) via headhunter; or
b) find job online; or
c) directly come to spore to find job?

ask friend to intro...this will be the faster way..

no friend in Singapore....

what kind of job u r looking?

i feel you man, really, went through these sh*thole before, seems like the agent pakat with the owner
left the place and forfeited my deposit else might start killing ppl back then lol.

Well, my company is hiring Application Support Engineer. You can check more in www.egis.com .

I wish to apply long term visit pass for my parents.
One of the document required is the birth certificate must be in English.
Does anyone know where I can translate my birth certificate from Malay to English?
According to the Malaysian Embassy, they do not provide such service.

i believe our birth cert are in dual language rite? I am born in 1987 and my birth cert are in Malay and English. the green 1.

why "or" instead of "and". use all 3 if posible.
but © is risky/costly way lar

I agree. Use all three ways + friends. Nevertheless, coming to search job in Singapore without one would be costly. Unless you are in an industry that is in great demand, it will take some time.
