Any online forum in Sg that is similar with LYN?

WTA, has anyone given up their Malaysian credit card(s) due to the RM50 govt tax?

If so, do you know which Singaporean credit card that has the lowest effective foreign currency transaction fee?

Most cards will entail a total of 2.5% forex transaction fee (1% taken by Visa or Mastercard, plus another 1.5% admin fee by the bank). On top of the bank, the forex rates charged aren't that hot either.

Cheapest plain vanilla I found is Maybank at 1% + 1.25%.

CIMB pretty good as they have a 1% rebate on all spend from zero... so it ends up 1% + 1.5% - 1%.

Std Chartered's Manhattan card has a tiered rebate program up to 5% but the top tier is only if you charge $3K a month to the card.

Otherwise, it'll be a Malaysian debit card for me.

Wow, you have to spend RM10,000 a year to get RM50 in rebates @0.5%.

better get UOB one card then... spend $900 3 months consecutively, get $90 back (or spend $300 for 3 mths to get $30 back)... but only these 2 tiers available.

best rebate program so far unless u spend much much more than $900 a month.

Why?

Since you stay at bedok, the food court near the bedok mrt station is better then the standard fare.

So far my place has only one redeeming stall which sells "kwa chap".

sgd 2000 for a fresh grad with < 1 yr experience is it too low? i am now wondering can i survive + make some saving? i am not picky at food, basically i can eat white bread avday, my main spending mainly will be on clothes. can i live good thr? can i can i?

I usually carry cash into Malaysia when I go home almost once a month. No admin fee and better FX rate can save a few hundred if more than 10K

Define huge amount? A bit scared to carry anything more than SGD1k in cash around.

am working at nearby YCK.. dinner? i ok also de.... but i off at 5pm , want?

lol, company culture act busy.. china man company???

8pm....i might be sitting at the rws or msb lo....

IF the bank give you a better rate than outside money changer and does not charge you transaction fee(convert money + TT). I usually check online rate, then call a few usual money changer to offer before I change with them. Usually I can get better deal outside.

When withdraw from SG bank you can ask for 1000 note, easy to cary and hide.

If you take bus or train home, better don't carry alot of cash with you. I usually drive home directly, the saving can offset my toll fee, petrol fee...

I opened a Hong Leong bank account with only bank book no ATM card (must pay annual fee too, ~RM20?) So still have to carry cash when go out.

Dokidoki, I stay at sengkang.. Just saw u stated N/A for where I stay haha

I guess gotta persevere, anybody know the gaming rules for pontoon or blackjack at marina bay sands. Odd that asking a question warrants a deleted post.

mind to tell what kind of current lifestyle you enjoying in m'sia?..

sgd4k...if you dont spend much on clubbing...or betting..i guess is quite ok for living in SG.

get a room....which around sgd600 and include utils.

like now...i am paying my common room for sgd600 incl. utils. and i pay extra sgd10 for my landlord maid to do laundry for me....the maid sumore iron all my cotton t-shirt..haha...and i dont need to wash the common toilet as the maid will do it as well...the maid will vacuum and mop my room twice a month...

for food..you dont spend much on it here...unless everyday you spend more than sgd20 on your meal...

I just found out that with an EP i can use the electronic gantry gate instead of having to have an immigration officer scan my pass. I still think the officer does a faster job then the gantry machine, just like malaysia passport scanner which is quite slow.

Using eIACS

The following groups of travelers have eIACS extended to them automatically without charge. They are required to hold valid ICAO compliant machine-readable passports. For non-Singaporean users, their latest passport details must be updated with ICA.
Singapore Citizens who have registered for their NRIC
Singapore Citizens aged 6 and above who have yet to register for their NRIC but have been issued Singapore Biometric Passport
Singapore Permanent Residents who have registered for their NRIC
Singapore Immigration Long Term Pass holders who have registered their fingerprints with ICA during the issuance of the new polycarbonate cards

Im not sure if i'm using the automated gate clearance since i just goto the gate, scan my passport and then my finger print and im good to go. There seems to be a slot for a card of some sort but i;ve tried that with my card and it doesnt work. So i just scan my passport at the passport scanner and then the thumb print.
