i think the diff is by putting local contacts, u give the impression or to have them ASSUMED that u are staying around in SG or maybe not PR, but at least EP. So it's easier to access or see u than ppl staying in M'sia. They have the impression u are around town.

Resume is just like first appearance. Whether they like ur face or not, in this case, ur face is the resume. It's something like preference /perception.
And unfortunately if they dun contact u, u won't get a chance to explain, sell urself, etc..

maybe, if the hiring manager or HR person who would be contacting and arraging your interview is from JB. but it's more of a gut feeling/perception.
no logical answer to this.

Hi,

Just wanted to ask what's the diff between HDB and HUDC, or the diff between HUDC between Apartment?

Isit correct to say pricing is HDB < HUDC < Private Apartment/Condo?

Thanks

My opinion is 50:50 of success, okay maybe up to max 70% if you want it higher. (Just a pluck from air figure)

Look at all of those Malaysian working in SG now, do you think they are not as good as those Sgrean which went thru NS?

Btw, I wanted to ask something.
What is the approx MRT travelling time during morning peak hours, say around 8am?
For e.g. from Admiralty to Raffles, how long does it takes from station to station.
Thanks.

I do expect that, but does anybody knows the timing / duration?
1.5hrs, 1hr or 30m?
The question was Admiralty to Raffles during 8am peak hours, how long will it take for the MRT?

Thanks a lot.

"Funny Thing" care to share like wat??

Actually I know quite a number of malays gotten out or are trying to get out from M'sia, not necessary to SG tho. Not all Malays enjoy the subsidy.
Only those "UMNO Malays" enjoy most of the subsidies. While those not so educated ones and maybe those highly religioned ppl stay on for obvious reason.

Shariah laws, perception and peer pressure are main reasons, without further explanation due to sensitivity.

I actually i do agree that riding bike is relatively more dangerous than cars and mrt, in logical sense. In chinese saying, "steel cover skin" is safer than skin cover steel".

I was riding bike for 4yrs in KL during college and during my first few yrs working. Sometimes up to one hour from KL -Klang - KL everyday, due to auditng works. I still remember carrying 3 bags (for laptops, lugagge and files) to office, to join colleauges for an outstation job. Dangerous, but depends on luck. If unlucky u die will sleepin/eating, if lucky u'll live even being hit and by car and goin under it.

So u got to weight the pros and cons, the advantage of faster than MRT/cheaper than cars/more freedom/ as opposed to dangerous. I hot SG shd be safer? correct me if im wrong, Isit a lot of accident?

Hi Lester,
u weighted 123kg!! wow!! i thot SG employers very particular on outlook?

Only 13mins from your MRT to YCK station? which station you're from?

Hi crapp0,
Is it true u only have to pay income tax after one full year?
I thot it's only a diff between Tax Resident and Non-TR, eitherway still have to pay, but at different rate, rite?
Do correct me if im wrong.
Thanks.

That's what employers always say lar. but there's a big "IF"

Since u've mentioned it's an increment, i think would be sufficient.
i.e. if you can survive with RM3+++ in Malaysia, u shd be able to survive with SGD4+++ in Singapore.

I'm actually in a similar situation like yours, except mine is worse, cos instead of pay rise, im getting pay cut!!

Is it good or bad news?

U sure u just look at the name?

I thot u shd have factor in this cost when u accept the offer?
Well, most of the forumers here went SG as a normal employee with EP, (soon, me too), except for some of ppl here, who mentioned that they are expat package.
So unless u think u have good skills with high demand, otherwise, nobody will give u expat package, while they can get it cheaper locally.

Do they provide the reasons for rejection?
Or did they at least indicate to you?

When was this? recently?

Looks like a pretty good deal.

What's the rational for the lock room?

Just to check, so far i saw a lot of non-common conditions/terms given by landlord for room rental folks, such as limitaion on taking baths / air cond / washing machine.

Any non common conditions / terms for whole unit rentals experienced here?
What kind of terms / conditions that is non-common in KL?
