How about apply for internal transfer?

I love singapore, when you have money but no time to spend.

A heaven for fat ppl like me, force me to walk to station and office than driving to office in KL. Now i am thinner by a lot as compared to those days in KL.

Those who want to come to Singapore remember one thing, besides working in Singapore, you will be queuing for everything else, foods, and entertainment.

I work as an auditor in Raffles Place, work life "no" balance as compared to KL, if anyone of you seeking for a job in Singapore, try MNCs and not Singapore company as the pay varies a lot e.g. Singapore company pay avg $2000 for a fresh grad but MNCs around $3000. If you are a CFA holder with bank experience try a german bank (cannot disclose which one but you can find out yourself) they are paying around $8000 excluding allowance for fresh grads with littel experience.

My engineer friends here earning close to $10k. Hence anyone earning below $5k is just entry level in this country just like Malaysia, but with $5k here you can save up to $3k per month = Rm6.9k, not bad to think of it, i can own a BMW 5 series back in KL.. hahaha but not in singapore coz COE and ERP can kill me. Every morning i need to pay $6 for ERP and not counting my parking of $3 for every half an hour, hence i choose to take the Sardin MRT that cost me $3 per trip.

Go scout around first before making drastic decision, the country is nice, good technology, cheaper cost of living (i can still find S$1.50 lunch in Benoi) but rental is the killer and i think during the 1st week you need to get a good pair of shoes for walking if you are a guy, girls here are hot but not beautiful, penang girls are beautiful but not hot. Some sg Guys are good looking but i am not sure whether they are gay.. hahaha... try converting our malaysia "la" to "le" and always use the word "jia lat lo" you will be a singaporean soon.

Remember food here is less sugar and less salt because of health reason, and do not get shock when you see old grandmother still working in Fairprice or Mos Burger, they have to work to pay for their medic in Sg as medic cost here is expensive not like malaysia RM1.

One think i note in Sg. discrimination is low, as most of the ppl here come from diff countries, cleaners, contractor workers, SPA & K-oke workers are from China, IT specialise & trash collectors from India, Philipino maid and cheap professional labours are from Malaysia and Directors are "Ang Mo".

If you are young try Singapore first and i believe you will appreciate your country well

Don't believe 100% everything you hear about DB. This is a current ad at another bulge bracket bank for a VP position, offering about $12-15K per month. I don't believe that $4-7K is enough room to differentiate all the positions between a freshie (even one with CFA) and a VP. I mean, how thin can you slice it and still keep the AMs, Ms, SMs and AVPs happy?

QFT.

Hi guys,

Was wondering if you could help me out with this SG related question...

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1425651

Thanks.

If your a guy, you'll know that their gay a mile away.

Yea well but i'm a female. Just sharing how horrible is it to walk that much in high heels, if you are not used to walking to work. You definitely want to get a pair of good heels or walk in flats instead.

haha lucky i'm a guy...so easy to stay comfortable and still look good. not so easy for girls...

Women in general walk in high heels to look the part (whatever that may be for them) or to compensate for short stature or their job demands it.

Fellow M'sian, I m working @ Tuas area, staying @ CCK. Came to SG in Q4 2008 just before the recession start.

I've been following this thread since V2 Nice thread with lots of useful information.

Great, coz i oso know a little bit of iphone programming. Can u pm me the Company information so i can try my luck

One quick question. Is it difficult for EP Pass holder to find another job?

You will have less job options compared to a Singaporea PR holder or a Singapore citizen.

Meaning that if we are to find another job, it will be another round of applying for EP, etc etc?

Precisely. Each EP is unique and is tied to a single employer.

hi people, what are the chances like to apply teaching to MOE in Singapore? I wonder do I stand a chance...

Who are you?

Hi all, my friend told me we stand higher chance to apply job if we state SG address and phone number in resume (regardless if we are PR), is this true?
May I know how many from this thread applied for job while in Malaysia?

Thanks.

Highly doubt it. Either you are a PR or you're not. Having a Sg number or not doesn't change that fact. And anyway it's not any easier to call a local number than it is to call a malaysian number. they just need to add a +60.
