Wow, so many ppl is working in Raffles Place now.. sadly I am moving out from RP end of this month. Serving my notice and starting my new job at Tampines in June!

I mean when u are matured, u will have that kind of mentality, when i go back to my school, i will just scold the clerk at my school when i collect my cert. when i see my teacher, when she is trying to show those stupid arrogant attitude at me, i will just tell them "is this how u treat ur boss? i am paying ur salary ok? I am a tax payer now"

it's a laughing stock when the Ministry of Education having a flip-flop policies. Last time used to teach in Malay, then English, then back to Malay. I'm glad I sent my kids to be schooled in Sg. At least I know they will be treated equally when it's time to go University or JC.
I don't agree Msia education is more rounded. It's actually Sg education which is more rounded, less based on text book, more on research and 'out of the box' thinking. If not why would hundred, probably thousand of parents in JB sending their kids to be school in Sg ?

Moved !!!

Obviously you need to come down here and protect her, right? 

Anyway, just make a police report and legally inform the landlord. They'll have to work it out. She can also call her MP directly or go to the Community Center to find out when the MP will be conducting his next meet-the-grassroots session. They usually respond quite well to educated folks who are capable of going straight to the press or PAP HQ.

In any case... the alongs in Singapore are softies. All they dare to do is paint this, paint that. I've never actually heard or read of actual cases of physical aggression.

Most if not all of us going back Malaysia during festive season ma,so no problem.

Report police.I am sure the ah long here dare not do anything.My colleague an ex-AST (Ang soon tang) member also told me not to worry about all those ah long cuz most of them are big noise no power de

6k is not considered a lot in finance.

I rather not say out loud... but it's at the top end of this list: http://www.icis.com/Articles/2007/09/17/90...-companies.html


Of course there are. Apply from the career sections in their websites.


A manager in one company, may not be a manager in another company. It depends on the job scope (regional, global etc), how big is your portfolio and how profitable is the company.

But one word of qualification... is that the old American MNCs are very stingy on titles. Managers and sometimes senior managers from Big4 accounting firms join us as executives/analysts/specialists, because that's where their pay scale lies. It's quite common for our experienced finance analysts or finance managers to join other companies as financial controllers or finance directors/CFOs respectively. My previous boss who left us as a finance director joined a SGX listed company as CFO. He's now the Deputy CEO.

My company just hired a new Tech Service & Development Engineer. The chap was in KL and moved to Singapore to join us. We gave him 2 months stay at a serviced apartment at Cairnhill Rd and one-off relocation assistance of roughly 1-2 months salary. The cash was paid to him on the first day of work so that he does not have to wait until pay day to get money to pay deposits for rental, buy necessities etc.

As for joining bonus, my company does sometimes pay for experienced hires. It's usually based on the value of stock options, deferred shares, deferred bonus, long service bonus, long service leave etc that the candidate had accumulated from his previous job.

For those chaps whom we really, REALLY want to hire, we'll give them an additional bonus to compensate them for the loss of service years at their previous job. Usually 1 month of salary per year of service.

By 29, I had 8 years of full time experience. Why do you only have 5?

Singapore's 2010 growth rate looks set to surpass China's to be the highest in the world. Coupled with the self-imposed reductions in new immigrant intake, it looks like the time is right to job hop or hit your employer with a demand for salary increase.

I really think so. Am getting at least a call or email each week from recruiters since 2 or 3 months ago. Last time, 90% will just say that the client doesn't have the budget when I tell them what's the minimum salary before we continue talking (to filter out the non-starters and time wasters). Now... it's such a change. 2 out of 3 will readily say that the client's budget is more than enough, will pay out notice periods/secrecy/non-competitive clauses, will consider signing bonuses to compensate for accrued/deferred shares/bonuses/options or take my total years of experience into their retirement/termination packages etc.

Haven't seen such a bullish environment in the last 6 years I've been here. Really need to have a heart to heart with my bosses.

Any college or university recommendation for MBA?

May I know how is the working life in Big 4 audit firm Sg?
