I'm also going to start my work in raffles place in july, looking for a place to move in by end of june/ early july.

However I wish to get a room for myself around $400 - $500, a small room doesn't matter, as long as it can accomodate a table, single bed and a closet, with washing machine and fridge facility
Is that possible?

when you hand over your passport, the counter officer send your car number and head count to the display panel at the check point. It is for them to check for any "extra" person in your car.

MOE Teaching Jobs

JC level need Good Degree + 1 year NIE course. Then the Gov tie you up with 3 years bond.

Since singapore schools arent public government schools but more like private schools, i guess students and parents have the right to blast their head off whenever they feel dissatisfied.

want to check any1 on M1 take3 plan?..do i need to pay anything when 1st sign up? what are the document i need to give when apply the postpaid line?

the $200 deposit is depends on what type of pass u are holding. If work permit, then u need to pay, if u are on S pass or EP, then no nid, just photo copy ur passport and work pass will do.

If it's any consolation, GKS was a Malacca boy.

i supported Najib's move. at least its a win-win situation where Singapore got their land back, Malaysia gets their money. Malaysian gets to take MRT to cross the causeway for work. Singaporean gets to use MRT to cross the causeway for shopping. Cheaper toll rates for 2nd link = a lot of development will happen there soon. why not? i just think that last time Mahathir too degil.

which bank account should i open/..i ask my company hr they say they will not provide any letter for the application. i saw alot of bank need to deposit sgd500 to open an account ..

DBS/POSB - highest number of ATMs
OCBC - highest NETS transaction limit, but get penalized if < $1000 in bank (i think other banks don't have this)
StanChart - heard that only need $1 to open account, but few ATMs

You guys are discussing about the selling of Tj Pagar KTM by MY to SG.

Since MY lacks of $$$ currently, I would prefer if the PM Najib could sell an island/sand equivalent to the size of SG to SG.

That would be win2 situation, MY gets the money whereas SG gets the land. Better still, sell 2 Johor's river to SG.

I'm not sure why so many people are so hard up about Tg Pagar. Seriously, it's not like Malaysia can 'build on, develop" or practically do anything with Tg Pagar. At best, Malaysia can only hope to bar Singapore from the land... ie. playing the spoiler.

But that has absolutely no benefit for Malaysia. Some say that it's a bargaining chip or leverage for other things like the stoopid crooked bridge, water price or West Malaysians' CPF. But to be frank... Singapore's not going to even regard Tg Pagar as Malaysia's bargaining chip. They can take back Tg Pagar at any time. All they have to do is argue that their national sovereignty is being violated. No country in the world will back the 'unconditional ownership' of land in one sovereign country by a foreign country. One country cannot "own land" as a sovereign country in another sovereign country. They can of course do so as a "private sector owner or investor" but that means that Singapore can simply use compulsory acquisition laws to reacquire the land. So, for all intents and purposes, Malaysia really only "holds" the land at Tg Pagar at the leave of the Singapore govt. In my opinion, Singapore has been pretty polite about it... probably because they are simply treating it as a reserve land bank.

Therefore, Malaysia is getting a good deal for Tg Pagar. If I were Singapore, I'd simply forcibly take back the land as a reprisal for stopping the sale of sand... which Malaysia stopped for "sovereignty reasons" btw. Singapore is obviously saving up some political chips for later use by agreeing to that 60/40 development arrangement.

All sifus, need some opinion here.
What is the salary for a 1 yr experienced QS there?
Currently I got 1 job offer here RM2500, as site QS.
But I am thinking to further my career in Singapore.

Yesterday there is an agent called me, offering $2200, but its kind of tiles supplier - Polybuilding. Anyone heard this before?

Should I take it or keep waiting for another job offer? Since I am no really into supplier line, looking for developer, main-con or consultant company. I am planning to take it as a temporary job, just to set my feet in Singapore, than look for what I want. But is there any harm if I change job in few months time? I mean for my permit or whatsoever, does it affect anythg?!

Please Comment, Thanks!

i check from ICA

IPA for PR... hmm.. any different from PR in SG?

For 2nd generation PR, the option of renoucing PR status does not give much leeway to subsequent PR re-application via own merits. The termination of earlier dependent PR can be viewed as ostentatious/ conscientious bid to escape from civic duty liable, considering the fact that you have had "enjoyed" the puny benefit that the state has given to PR.
