For similar jobs (in terms of scope ie. front or back office, level of responsibility/impact and type of employer ie. bulge bracket/boutique/local/MNC/listed etc) - my general rule of thumb is S$0.8:RM1 to S$1:RM1.

Having said that, if your skill and experience level warrants a RM10K salary in KL, your profile should be in some demand in SG. In that case, you should call up recruiters and enquire about that particular role and SG employer you're interested in. Gauge the salary levels for your set of skills based on the feedback from recruiters and then negotiate.

Having said about salary, it also depends on how much you earn back in Malaysia and the salary range in Singapore.
If you are underpaid in Malaysia, most likely you would expect an increase in the number right?
As mentioned before by others, you need to know the salary range in Singapore and gauge where you will be in.

got so much meh?
then i'm super underpaid liao...

Mine in between but my manager definitely super over paid liao

wanna ask those with experience,

if i bring in one new laptop from msia (in box), will the singapore kastam stop us? hand carry in via bus.

better dont, throw the box away n make it like personal used.

I once carry a new LCD monitor in box thru n got taxed haha, stupid me

ouch... then need to left the box at my friend hse first haha. thanks for the info bro

how did they calculate the tax amount ? you gave them the price ? according to 7% GST ?

no prob

they wil tax 7% based on the price u declare... so if u got caught without any receipt, juz simply say an amount will do, but of coz dont be too ridiculous haha.

I also kena hi fi set before...but I said it is a free gift n pocket left 20ringgit then he no choice just offer me a hand written receipt amount of 20 n ask me pay

20 Ringgit ?? Singapore collect the 20 ringgit also ar ?
macam case like kena tahan trafik police in MY haha .

to save the trouble, get someone to drive it in for you. when u are driving or riding in, the kastam check is just a procedure thing, they just look look and let u pass normally.

PS : especially when u are driving a Malaysian car. coz in their mindset, they always things that those that can drive Malaysian car in are normally tourist or people that stays in Malaysia, why would they pay more money to buy stuff in Singapore. even when you bring something in, they would assume that its a used thing that u will bring out later because ur car needs to leave the country on a daily basis.

Which is a good part time university that offer Master in Finance in Singapore?

In Singapore, can we apply for new credit card using existing card with credit limit?

They will still look at ur annual income + bonuses + allowances +overtime
Or u will need to have minimum saving of certain amount

now very simple, once they look at your cpf statement they know roughly how much you earn. If your cpf contribution hit the ceiling, means Platinum card for you

my current part time skool

7% if you declared it and they said it's taxable. Probably 10X higher if you carry it thru the green lane and they charge you with failure to declare a taxable item (= smuggling). If not sure just go thru red lane and ask.
I went thru the red channel once and declare to them I have a 3 month old 21" lcd monitor and they 'wave' me on, so it's not always bad to declare.

anyone going back to PJ/KL tomorrow by car (for the weekend) ?

if not, need to go Larkin take bus oledi...first timer hehe

me too.
but i think their samples are a bit bias. probably samples from big banks like BOA ML, JP Morgan, Barclays, etc. rather than DBS, OCBC or UOB kinda banks.
