heard GKS contriobuted a lot in the financial gov's sector and also NS prog

Left me wondering is there any one in Malaysia with the similar contribution.

thanks for the advice. i always keep my resume updated even now. but might use dreamer's post as reference to change abit here n there..thanks..

Can't think of any but Malaysia has certainly produced a lot of thieves - they have even infested other countries like Singapore with their thieving and criminal ways.

First criminal (a Malaysian) to be charged at Marina Sands Resort after it has been opened for a week was caught for stealing someone's bag, a malaysian burglar was apprehended a few years ago breaking into hdb flats, a newsflash a few months ago where a tour bus filled with Malaysian tourists in Taiwan had to bring all its passengers to the police station to investigate a some of the tourists' belonging which were stolen during the tour (apprehended thief was one of said tourists in the bus), infamous credit card scams using fake credit cards in Australia (a Malaysian was apprehended this year) and the list goes on and on.

So if you are having your coffee at one of those toursity places like Orchard Road, Marina Sands, RWI, etc and if you know there are Malaysian tourists/ visitors sitting next to you, better hold on tight to that purse/handbag/laptop/cell phone of yours - disappearing acts of your personal valuables may occur which would make David Copperfield or David Blaine proud!

There are still people who contributed greatly to the economy of the country, such as Mr. Lim Goh Tong

Uncle Lim was never a politician to begin with... + the GOV doesn't recognise his contribution at all

Have anyone worked in Singtel before? How is the working culture in SIngtel?

I hardly call splitting the profits of a casino monopoly a "contribution".

Give anyone an entire hill and a casino licence, they will make the same "contribution" if not more. LGT's claim to fame is his ability to persuade succeeding UMNO govts to keep issuing his licence.

If it's any consolation, GKS was a Malacca boy.

Besides being an ACCA finalist, do you have a degree?

How long more before you have accumulated enough working experience to get the ACCA?

He shaped the education and financial system, started Jurong industrial area, established EDB, GIC, Temasek, Singapore army and NS among other things...
LKY was the political mastermind, but GKS was the master architect.

GKS was related to Tan Cheng Lock/Tan Siew Sin...

I know a few singaporeans who dont like him coz they hate NS. One guy hasnt been called to the reservist since he convincingly gives excuses such as being outstation on numerous occasions for an extended periods and paying a psychiatrist to issue a letter stating that he is mentally unfit to do NS.

I guess if NS doest check in detail and the guy is willing to put the effort to deceive the NS authorities then its fine.

yea. i had my degree 2 yrs ago..came out to work for 2 yrs after my degree.now left 1 more yr to to complete 3yrs exp..

If I am a Singaporean, I think I would look forward to join NS. But I am a Malaysian, a country not worth fighting for.

I guess people look for connections to famous people so that they too can feel important or more precisely to ride on a dead persons credentials by saying he's either related or the same race or countrymen.

Hi all,

Would like to get some of your views on the following scenario:

Landlord has rented a room to a Tenant and there is a clause in the tenancy agreement which says "Both Tenant & Landlord can give 1-month notice for early termination of Tenancy after minimum occupation of 6 months. In this case, the Deposit shall be refundable less deduction for damages cause by the Tenant, if any. In the event of early termination, the party who initiated termination shall cause to refund the paid agent’s commission on a proration basis to the other party within 15 days".

Here's the situation, if the Landlord decides to terminate the tenancy agreement before the minimum occupation of 6 months, say on the 3rd month, would the Tenant be in a position to claim 3 months rent compensation from the Landlord in addition to agent's commission.

*Note Tenant has not breach any terms in the agreement.

From the tenancy agreement or the part which you have posted here, either party who wants out of the tenancy agreement b4 the minimum occupation has to pay back to the other party the agent commission, full stop. Its quite unreasonable for either party to commit to an agreement where if they dont serve out the minimum occupation period, they have to pay back the other party the rental balance if the minimum time has not been met.

The clause was set by the landlord, to protect their interest in at least securing 6 months rental income and the landlord now is unable to fulfill the condition.

since there's no clause to explain anything less than 6 months, it is up to both parties to talk it over. if a mutual concensus cant be reached then they have to go to arbitration.

With an accounting degree, ACCA finalist and 2 years of post-graduation experience, you should be quite hot in the Sg job market assuming your degree and experience were from respectable establishments. Perhaps try the accounting firms first. They are more willing to accept non-residents due to their higher turnover.

Accounting firms like big4 u mean?? I prefer to work in commercial line such as HP,P&G,IBM, etc..not really keen in audit though..but i did try to apply kpmg in spore..no news as usual..but I will still continue my job hunting in spore though but at the same time im looking in KL area as well. can't afford to choose anywhere I like although I prefer to work in sg more.

I choose companies, they choose me..just have to follow the rules of the game...all i need is alot of luck~~!!!!hahaha~~~
