i have been hearing many EP rejected cases recently. It seems like gov is seriously tightening control over the influx of ppl like us. Anyone working in HR can shed light on this?

I was lucky for mine to be approved last month.

Window shopping-sure end up buying something I dun need
Casino-lost too much money once, promised I'll never go back
Booze - Can't drink
So that leaves going to the movies
Strangely, its so damn humid and crowded in SG that i rarely go out yum cha unlike KL unless got aircond......

Good if you like shopping. My office is right in the middle of Paragon, Orchard Cineleisure/313/Central/Centerpoint and 111 Somerset - and it's just too many cars, too many people, expensive food and CBD surcharge for taxis.

But I do like the view from my window. During daylight, I can see all the way to the Marina Bay Sands. At night, it's the Christmas lights on Orchard.

From what i know, anyone without a recognised degree or not working in a specialist, managerial, professional or in-demand type of occupation will be tough getting both EP or S-pass
