Why cannot use your boss' name?
*
my bosses are directors... now the problem is, if any company is in business with my company and any shareholder or top management has a relationship in that company then we have to declare to sgx...

both of them are usually the ones who are the proxy shareholders for subsidaries... but those other subsidaries are in reputable countries... now the problem arises when one of the upcoming subsidary will be in a us sanctioned country and we dont want people to know that as it might affect the main company... so i might be the goat that they will use as a proxy shareholder... i wonder whether there will be any liability on my part... this subsidary is making lots of profit and it is a limited liability company... so all liability is up to the share/capital only...

Isn't this some insider info that might affect your company reputation?

Isit really that effective?
Were u really in SG that time or in M'sia?

Added on July 14, 2010, 10:36 am
how small is the inter transactions?
not big enuf to disclose in the prospectus?
Also " by rite" inter transaction with companies of proxy or nominee shareholding also need to disclose. i.e. u proxy to ur directors. in a way u are abetting with ur directors to avoid disclosure. u can get caught also by SGX, if they can prove it. why the risk?

anyway, if in US sanctioned company better bkful lor.
mana tau if the company got terrorist funding etc, and US CIA will link u to it. (a bit dramatic eg lar, but never know).

at the end of the day, cost benefit analysis, only u know lar.
*
around usd 100 mill per annum... in this industry it is a small amount...

cause the proxy has full power and not gag by any power of attorney letters.... no worries cause these companies dont make any profit...

no no... us sanctioned the country... not the company... and it is sanction the usd not the trades...

anyway, since it's USD100M company, it's fair and square, to ask for USD10k/month tongue.gif

usd 10k is a bit on the high side.... but i shall see.... a lot of local directors to feed too...

Anyone here working in:-

1) Golden Agri-Resources Ltd
2) Capitaland Ltd?

I got 2 jobs offers from these 2 companies but I dont know which offer to take now. So, I just wanna find out what is the benefits, bonuses, staff welfare, working culture and environment etc.
*
may i know what position in golden agri?... they are our competitors and also supplier at time... indonesian bosses

by comparing this two, i believe ga has more opportunity but capitaland is more stable with more benefits...

it depends on which industry you are interested in...

Golden Agri is the world's 2nd largest palm oil producer, u mean your company is the 3rd largest palm oil producer which in return become our competitor?

Can share which department or position are you in?

Actually 2 companies also interests me and 2 companies offer the same salary to me too. This is why I need to consider which company provide better bonus, career progression, culture and so on.
*
heh? since when my company is the 3rd largest?

no no.. actually we are in the same industry... just that sometimes when short we supply to each other..

me?... business development and operations most of the time pao ka liao.. dont even have a proper title..

capitaland seems to be a good company.. but construction industry in singapore is small.. so they move overseas... i bet they are quite establish over the years

revenue; sgd 3 bill
g.profit; sgd 1 bill

golden agri just got listed not too long ago i think... they own plantations and their bosses are very aggresive in business development.. probably u wont get so much benefits but salary and bonus might be good...

revenue; usd 2.3 bill
g.profit; usd 0.5 bill

Then apply for Golden Agri la.. We can become colleagues too..

I heard the bonus they paid is about 4 mths. But until now still haven decided which company to go.. perhaps will go for Golden tho..
*
my company gives minimum 4 months too... but this year i think will be bad...

ermm... wait till i get my pr 1st... hhahahaa... i am trying something.. if fail then i change job.. hehehehe

ermm.. oh ya, from wat sesantang mention.. i think if u r into shared services... hr, acc, treasury... capitaland might be better... but if u r into trading, golden agri is better

if u are holding an EP, u can apply for dependent pass for the baby ma. so no issue on that, unless both of u are holding WP and wanna bring the baby to SG. I doubt with your income, u can give the baby a good childhood in SG though (if u are holding WP).

my landlords are both pr holders... and because they want to save the few bucks... their daugher now 2 yo has been waiting for 6 months for pr

i believe if u r working in a mnc... the mnc will help cover some of the expenses

QUOTE(CreamMilk @ Jul 27 2010, 05:49 PM)
Just wondering, I have browse through various online jobs website, if there's any job open for Malaysian, the employer require the applicants a PR or with work permit. I NEVER seen before any employer state they will assist in work permit application.

so how am I gonna apply a work permit if no company offer me a job? confuse here.
*
if they offer you a job then they will apply for you... if u cant meet d pr citi req... then u cant apply in the 1st time... but no harm trying... a few minutes of emailing only...

so far my company is 90% msians... and also a lot of auditing firms are hiring too...

QUOTE(tsm @ Jul 27 2010, 06:39 PM)
asking for silly question. I got a job offer but not really sure about the process.

Now my status is I got the offer letter and at the offer letter, it was stated:
'I shall commence work on the date a Work Pass is issued to me by Ministry of Manpower. I acknowledge and agree that in any event, I will commence my employment on 16 August 2010, failing which you may revoke your offer of employment.'

I haven't applied employment pass yet, does it mean that I will commence my job as long as employment pass being issued? Or I will start to work on 16/08/10??

mayb 1st day u will go and meet hr... get ur medical done... n then go apply epass from mom... then u can start work... dont have to get the card 1st..
Thanks in advance^^

Hi. I'm new to here.
It seems that you are in the accounting line in Singapore. Wanna ask whether is Big4 SG hiring Malaysians too? How much does typical Malaysian stand a chance over there, say after getting an ACCA? Thanks.

yea... my friend from monash with so so results is in ey...

she doesnt have acca, only a business degree...

ermm.. acca is not that attractive in sg... but no harm trying

Wondering whether I should take my company's corporate plan for iPhone 4 or not... I get 20% off the published monthly rates, but the minutes seem quite low, especially the SMS part, only 500 per month whereas on Prepaid I get 50 free sms with every 5 sent.

depends on usage, after 500 u pay extra... iphone dont need to sms so much already

Ok, I got a question rite here.

Any chance that I want to apply for PR but I dont want to contribute CPF.

Means I want a full pay. The employer portion I dont mind to go into CPF savings.

I am asking this because I am not staying long here, perhaps just 5 years and I do not intend to acquire a HDB unit. I wanted to apply for PR because it makes job hops easier as PR is more easier to apply for jobs compare to non-PR.
*
i doubt, i think it is the law

West Malaysians only if they give up PR after 55. Everyone else, anytime they give up PR regardless of age.

sure it is 55? not 60?

regarding work permit... it is different from e-pass right?
