piping engineer.

cool... welcum to the club...

no lar... sembcorp is a very huge engineering comp.. one of their business scope is buang sampah... hahahaa, waste management

wow, didnt know that. Will start to use that as joke now. Rubbish collector sound better than plumber lol

piping engineer? i am a fresh grad, mechanical engineer. currently doing piping course as well.. 5 weeks in getting professional piping designer cert.. then from december till august on job training at technip malaysia.. bro, got prospect to work in singapore ah? because malaysian currency is too weak to begin with.. haiz

what type of piping? offshore piping or building/ship internal piping? previously i work as offshore piping but soon will be internal piping.


all i can advice is, learn as much as possible and try to apply for job in spore.

is it difficult to get a part time job in singapore? anything will do. im plannin to work there part time after my examination. is it a fact tat if u work there will have higher pay than msia after convertin the money. i m the kind of person who can jimat so no worries bout food (i know its expensive) so i eat bread + milo + work and stay in johor.

i think working as part time oso nid permit ~ anyone to clarify ? so if u really want to work in sg, better apply asap, the permit will already cause u few weeks time ....


u can reach office at 7.50 while leaving ur house at 6.30 . damn nice figure ~ love it .

my working hour starts at 8.45, got a 15 mins buffer time , so if i stays in bukit indah n uses the TUAS, thats mean i will nid to leave my house around 7-7.30 ?

u riding motor ,right ? do u ever count ur fuel / km ? like how many km u can run using 1 liter petrol ? cause i want to count my daily usage too.

I am using woodlands. i stay in tebrau city area. so if u use Tuas, i think it will be much faster since u won't be stuck on the immigration queue. lets put it this way. from my house to woodlands check point is around 15-20mins. then i will stuck on the Singapore immigration for around 20-30mins depends on the queue (so load more movies into your iPhone, i always watch drama when i am on the queue ), then travel another 10-15 mins from Woodlands to AMK. So if u use 2nd link, i think u can deduct the 20-30mins wait time in the immigration as i heard from my friend that there is no traffic jam in 2nd link. regarding petrol. i am traveling around 80KM per day (40KM from my house to office). 1 full tank(RM12) can go around 180KM. I am using a scooter (Modenas Elegan 200), so will consume more fuel. if u are riding EX5, RM6 fuel can go around 120-130KM (I know because my bro got a EX5 in KL). Another piece of advise, if u plan to use Woodlands, Please don't buy a big size bike like mine (regret already although its nice to ride) cause when u are in the queue, the bulky bike makes you hard to squeeze in and also might get scratch in the body. (my bike is 2 weeks old and i already have around 5-6 scratch mark because when wan to squeeze in, got the scratches from the divider.

Regarding working part time, all foreign worker needs a permit to work in Singapore. If u are talking about working for 1-2 months during ur school holidays, then forget about it. coz the employer would not waste so much time to apply work permit for you and also train you on the job.

thx a lot for ur advice. never own a motor before but, i got a car back in KL, however, i not planning to use it in JB.

google map helped me to calculate the distance. from bukit indah to bukit merah is around 50km, so daily travel is approximately 100km. damnit , so far jus as u said, i think it cause me RM6/day for petrol. (rm6 x 20 days) + (rm1.6 x 20 x 2) + ($5 x 20) + ERP = RM400+

however, my job required me to go around attending meeting ,and i able to get allowance for $0.3/km on motor. if i take public transport , company will oni reimburse back my transport fees. i think from there , it can cover a bit for me

n how much for a brand new EX5?

for now its onshore piping.. refinery mostly.. how many years of experience do u have bro?

even dish washer pembuang sampah kopi girl in kopitiam all nid permit?

how if im working during day time n not stayin in singapore in night time? which is jb.

the permit difficult to apply?

sry ah. novice here

Part time job is only applicable for PR or Singaporean, if u wanna work in singapore, u can only get PERM job. No matter what job it is.

wa. so strict one ah? work for friend there also cannot right?

how if have a one day trip there? have to apply permit too right?

erm, u only need passport to come into singapore le, but u cannot work. Also, there are ways to get a part time job here, but might get taxed since u only working for few months

the truth is that , as long as the government dun knw u r working without the pass , everything is ok . of coz, the main point is dun get cheated , as u wun have anyway to get back ur salary , as u r illegally working there.

one day trip no nid permit la , after u fill in the white card at the singapore custom there, u'll have 30 days staying time in singapore, but of coz, it is not for u to work there.

u said u plan to travel daily , i doubt it is possible .....as u will nid to fill in the white card every time . n maybe the officer will ask , y u go to singapore everyday ? go shopping ?

brand new EX5 cost u around RM3.9k (kick start) and RM4.2k (electric starter). But if u are using the 2nd link, i will advise u to get a bigger bike as EX5 is very floaty when go at high speed and the road in 2nd link is really straight and high way all the time. you also don't have to squeeze with other bikers if u are using 2nd link. Why not consider getting a Singapore bike? you can save on the $4 VEP if u are riding a Singapore bike. regarding driving into Singapore. the VEP is $20 a day. so its a big no no for me. but u will get 10 VEP free days a year. So i will bring my car to JB and will drive in if that particular day is raining heavily, of course its mainly because my company got free parking, if ur company got no free parking, then you don't have to think about it coz even parking at HDB car park, its $1 per hour.

the big Sg bike , how much $ r u referring to ? i can ride a Sg bike with my Malaysian passport n permit ?

regarding the parking , i saw many bike park illegally below my office , all the way along the shop lots , so i think it is ok for me too

raining u remind me of this problem , damnit .... newbie in bike

ooo. so the white card can last me 30 days. hmm.. got the idea liao. hehe. thx.

to ride a SG bike in SG, u need to have a SG driving license. but riding a Malaysian bike you don't need that. illegal parking fine is $75, so good luck and hopefully u din get one. you can get a Honda CBF150. not that big and not that small either. In Malaysia, its selling around RM9k. not sure about the price in SG.

Alot of small business have the policy "Dont ask, dont tell"

as long as you dont get caught, you can pretty much do what you want. In the metal fabrication or construction field in sg, its not suprising if company A has a few illegal workers without any permits working for them. These are usually manpower suppliers who have illegal workers on their payroll.

I've even seen foreign workers who live in the work premise (illegal of course). Every morning they go about their business brushing their teeth and cooking breakfast in the company compound, you can see this in the tuas area.
