Chartered Semi no longer exists. It's now Globalfoundries. Got a number friends there who often complain about the place.
Don't know how many times I see Ferraris and Lambos on the street, ppl queuing up to get into an LV store, etc...

i found 1 room at Marsiling last time, $460 with aircond. Indian family. but i now stay with my friend's aunty. $400 without air-cond at Sembawang

You've never seen tourists with babies?

i think if ur wife gives birth in sg... it is easier to apply prnext time for d bb

I don't think there's any democratic govt in the world that separates babies from their parents. That answers your question whether it's "ok".

Now... whether your children will automatically get long term or permanent residency status... that's an entirely different issue. It depends on your class of employment permit. The immigration dept website has all the details.

So, of course it's ok. It's just a matter of how much hassle it involves. At worst, you just go to JB and back every few weeks to renew the tourist visa.

if u are holding an EP, u can apply for dependent pass for the baby ma. so no issue on that, unless both of u are holding WP and wanna bring the baby to SG. I doubt with your income, u can give the baby a good childhood in SG though (if u are holding WP).

my landlords are both pr holders... and because they want to save the few bucks... their daugher now 2 yo has been waiting for 6 months for pr

i believe if u r working in a mnc... the mnc will help cover some of the expenses

yes..they do provide but...it depend on u are on which package.....and what company....if MNC mostly have...hard to tell what range.....different company different 1~

My thinking is that Singapore is holding on to West Malaysians' CPF because there are many, many more West Malaysians working in Singapore than East Malaysians. If they suddenly allow the release of all eligible West Malaysians' CPF, there would be such a one-time wave of CPF withdrawals that a cashflow crisis for the Sg govt is virtually guaranteed.
