when u are working in a foreign country, u shouldn't job hope so much since u know that their gov will keep a record of that and that will affect your PR application in the future. You should tahan 1st until u get ur PR, then u can do what ever u want coz u are a Singapore resident which makes not much different from a Singaporean just like u can hope 1 company a month in malaysia and the gov cannot kacau u.

i never know such things can happen le, really. Now i know liao, must work till get PR first before i leave a company. Then how to solve this problem now le?

Just curious on a PR question. If I were to get a PR and my family stays in Malaysia (only once a while casual visits to SG), can I be a PR and my family remains as non-PR?

Of course. If you don't apply for them, they will have no resident status in Singapore.

Wow, thanks for the quick answer. What would be the pros and cons for getting PR? Hehehe.. just curious...

It's been discussed hundreds of times in this and all the previous SG threads. Do a search lah.

wat do u mean... u used the automated gate?

may i know how many time u hop in 1 year?...4?

What is the cheapest and reliable method to transfer money back to Malaysia.
I found out that via Maybank SG TT is $15, which is the cheapest so far. But the draw back is that I have to have a MBB SG account. Otherwise, over the counter is $30, which is an exorbitant amount. Any other banks offering competitive rates?

TT via Maybank or OCBC is the best, last time I tried before but forgotten the charges.

But why not money changer? (if you don't mind carrying few thousands in your bag as money changer rates are better then bank rates).

Try Mustapha at China Town. (You might get the best rate in Singapore).

lol, first company i oledi work for 6 months, this is my second company

really have to salute you..in this kind of situation you still manage to 'lol'...what's ur new company HR told you?..they going to appeal for you..and now you need to go to custom every 2 weeks to re-enter to sg?..

Not prepared to take the risk.

they are going to appeal for me, it gonna take 3 weeks, i wonder why it is like tat. i just be positive tat's all. impossible u get soo stress up because of such things ba, i cannot do anything also, only time can solve it. i oledi at malaysia for 1 week +, tomolo i reenter singapore again. hopefully everything went well.

u seldom search for jobs in SG?
how bout those tones of "Singaporean or Singapore PR can apply" jobs?

I usually send money back to Malaysia to pay for shares. It's a real pain to go to a bank, withdraw 20-30K, then walk around with that kind of money to a money changer and then trust them (and their staff) to TT it back for me. I know they have licences and everything... but even if it's their staff who steals it, you'll be dragged into making police reports, court cases etc. I don't have the stomach for that.

U taking 707 bus?
