Wow r1v3r, you must have been in the work force for a long long long long time eh. Pager days are in the 90s!

I guess the way he sees it with the "I don't care; it's your problem not mine" attitude then eh. Yeah just be careful with the dates. They really drill into the minute details when checking your information.

Just curious, do you think we can bring over canned food from Singapore to Malaysia?

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.

Maybe what I can suggest for you to do as well. Go to all the accounting firm website in SG. Deposit your resume there as well. Other than that, put your resume up for headhunter to search as well. That might get you moving. Do join Linked too and it might help.

If you are coming down here, you will need to stay in a hotel room. That might cost you money too unless u have friends or relatives staying here. Alternatively, you can stay in Johor but it will be the same result as staying in KL (assuming you are). So before you decide to quit your job and come down here to search, do make sure you have a budget for it. Also, find out how much is it to rent a hotel room and then see how long you can last before u get a job. If you got the job beginning of the month, you will have to wait for another 3 to 4 weeks before your pay comes in.

Wow, which part of the travel that takes the long time? Would it be the whole bus travel? Just curious. I am planning to move to JB when I am more settled down with my job. Working in Orchard Road.

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?

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

What's bus 707? Firstcoach is full dy for that weekend. Unfortunately.

It depends actually. I suspect that Friday night will be longer. Actually it really depends on the checkpoint actually. If fast, you can actually get through the checkpoint really fast and reach within 5 hours. If checkpoint si beh long, then it will takes longer than that. Never took the bus 707 before. Hehehe... thought it's some secret code. haha....

WHat's the diff with other types of TT??
The bank still charges for the TT rite?
Why u nid to transfer via ur fren? dun u have a bank a/c in SG and a bank a/c in M'sia?

I think he transfer the money to his friend's account here in SG (She is saving in SGD), then She in Malaysia transfer RM to his account in Malaysia. So no TT Charges liao.

I used it a couple of times in Tuas Checkpoint. It can be use. Nevertheless, sometime the line for the auto checkpoint has more queue and longer time to process. Funny. Those that are having problems usually are the ones holding Singapore passport. hehe...

Normally for the first year if I do not work for more than 183 days, I will kena 15% tax, right? Is there anyway to appeal for this to lower that? Just curious.

No reason actually. Just started my work back in mid-June. So it's less than 183 days unfortunatley. So kena 15% tax?

Yes, it's rather a heavy tax for the first year. Fortunately, it's only 1/2 a year tax. phew.... nevertheless, money is money. So not sure if they have any way to appeal. Normally when is the time to file tax in Singapore? Is it in April as well just like good ol' Malaysia?

Can you ask them to change your ticket date like Firstcoach or NICE?

Hmm... so when Iphone4 comes out, 3GS will be on "Jualan Murah" already?

Should be SGD ker war. Alternatively, can go to Toa Payoh for 2nd hand unit. hehe...

Just want to ask another question about immigration stuffs... my passport will expire in 9 months time and I am planning to renew it sometime this week. After the renewal do we need to inform MoM? I am a EPass holder.

Checked with MoM and here is part of their response:

1) For holders of the Long Term Pass Card
To notify MOM Work Pass Division using the Request Form for Amendment of
Personal Particulars.

2) For holders of the laminated Disembarkation/Embarkation Card (Green
Card)
Employment Pass Holders transfer their Employment Pass endorsements to the
new travel document.
These documents must be submitted to MOM Work Pass Division for the
transfer:
- Disembarkation/Embarkation card (Green Card); and
- Employment Pass holder's old and new travel documents or passports
