I don't think they will go for those mid/low working class. it's the corporate and high income defaulters they are after. the answer is no, I personally have never heard of such a case.

nah...customs dun block u unless u r smuggling sumthing its the immigration who might.even then i doubt they will even though u owe them cos there issint a case against u saying tat u r not going to pay
unlike those who have not paid their ptptn loans n purposely dont even though court letters r sent to them then there is a case against them where by they ignore the law

I think the government is just giving an excuse for them to withhold the poor fellas cpf since thats the governments piggy bank.

From what i heard, its coz the fella stay with the same company and there doesnt seem to be much improvement from the guy (donno if its salary wise or career, but then again why would the government need to meddle anyway).

Its likely the governments way of safeguarding themselves when the next election is coming to show their doing something about the high PR numbers, start voting them off the island, so to speak.

Almost forgot about this forum....

Hi Seantang

I have a maybank account nominated in Ringgit, but i am not sure whether i can withdraw SGD? for the activation, is that possible to do it online? also, if i successfully activate it? can i withdraw SGD using my maybank ATM card in other banks ATM such as OCBC, UOB? because it is quite difficult to find Maybank ATM machine here.

I do not have a credit card. Do money changer in Singapore allow Malaysia debit card swipe? Mean i get SGD and i pay my ringgit using debit card swipe.?

Yup, 5 figure salaries are more common here.

SG is boring. What do you guys do during weekends? I got nothing to do...too tired of window shopping.....

SGD150K is actually rather low for a mid to upper-middle manager in foreign banks in Singapore, except for maybe administrative, HR and PR departments.

Try SGD200K+ per annum for a start.

Hi. A headhunter was asking me whether I am interested to apply for a contract based job in singapore bank. I am not sure whether I should give it a try as I am quite concerned about the job security. Currently I have a permanent post in malaysian bank. of course, I would love to work in singapore. Wanna gather more comments before I make up my mind. Any comments? Tq
