I don't remember giving them my IRAS statement last time round, only the CPF statement. They just casually ask, "I give you $XXX credit limit, is that ok?". I just accept what ever credit limit they give me.

anyone have ideas about the biotech industry in singapore?im looking for management or marketing position in such sector, how is the job prospect for entry-level? gratitude in advance for any reply.

Wonder any forum or site i can search for sg job except jobstreet and jobsdb?
And also if they are hiring non sg

They have entry level management in Biotech companies?

Hi all, I'm gonna start working in SG starting end of the month... Looking forward to your future gatherings/get-togethers!

Couple of things to ask:
1. I'm currently looking for a place to stay... I've already contacted agents but was wondering if any of you guys know anyone who might have a room available? I'm looking for central/greenline area... Pls PM me if you have any contacts.

2. I tried to open a bank account with OCBC the other day and they required me to have a minimum opening amount SGD500 inside and to maintain a min SGD1000. Due to time shortage, I didn't check with another bank then. Is this the same for all banks in SG?

Thanks, looking forward to be part of the community!

POSB requires only SGD500 to be in the account the last time I made an account

Thanks...

At all times? OCBC says that if I dont have >SGD1000, its a 2 bucks charge per month. Same?

Yes same.. Only difference is the minimum amount.
I have no idea how they implement the minimum amount tho... Always had more than 500 in my account.
Try asking the staff.

try stanchart super savers.... no min amount, no minimum startup, better interest rates, comes with cheques... but only thing is lack of discounts at stores

yeah citi very easy. u just apply for one card, they will give u 2 cards, atm, cheque book, and even "free money" with instalment

Guys, did anyone ever use DBS ibanking and transfer money to OCBC bank? How long does it takes to reach the OCBC acc? 2 to 3 working days right?

im asking wrong question?

Alot of powerful and influential SME bosses will be up in arms with government officials and politicians to kill that idea.

Why do you think singapore which is considered very close to attaining developed status still allow commercial transport vehicles to double up as worker transport due to the SME's pressuring the government not to legislate that the transport of employers cannot be done in a commercial vehicle designed to carry only goods.

If you are not allowed to buy HDB, I doubt if you'll be allowed to own it though the back door. HDB will probably refuse to register your share in the joint ownership.

Your aunt can make you the beneificiary in her will to inherit the flat but I think HDB will hold the flat in trust while they give you a period time to sell it to someone who is eligible to own it.

Add on 1% cash rebate for all spendings via Debit MasterCard. I just applied it.

hi,
