don't linger around that area too much. so not very sure.

why don't you just drive in? even the parking is a bit expensive, but its much more safer and convenient for you to drive around compare to putting ur car in JB.
according to JB crime rate index, the highest reported crime is motorcycle theft followed by car theft. so I seriously advice you to reconsider. unless u park it in my house la.
hahaha, but mind is only a flat, open car park. but quite safe la because the area is very far from city and very deep in. so not much people will go there.

hi guys , is 2500SGD salary enough to survive in singapore , i heard the rental in sg is very expensive , is 2500SGD consider normal/high or low?to survive in sg
tq

there are people survive with $1.5k salary. depends on how u use. I can survive with $2k, but i choose to stay JB, then can enjoy a more luxurious life.

May I know do any of you guys have idea about any management trainee position offered by renowned companies in Singapore?

Sifus,

I'm moving back to SG (after a year of deployment outside of SG) and looking for a place to stay.

Do you guys have any good website or agent to introduce?

Please PM me if possible.

Many thanks for your help.

which part of kl... nvr heard of boonlay shopping centre... lol

ok ler... sgd 30, reasonable
enough... typical fresh grad pay
i only know, dont join my company... lol

More than enough bro, a decent room rental should be about 500-600 sgd, and food is pretty cheap in singapore

It only takes S$60 per month to survive in Singapore. With $2500, no problem lah.

I wonder how do you come back?

excuse me?

but im not really sure where shld i work at
i can get 2000MYR working in KL , can stay with family , so no rental fee and less expenses on food , mom cook sometimes
while 2500SGD at sg , have to pay rental , food , transport and everything else
i really need some advice from u guys , tq

even without conversion your salary is more than what you can get in KL. kindly do your math and don't forget to factor in your opportunity cost. remember in KL you get to stay with family and friends. so for me, it is always better to work in your own country (thats your home!) rather than working other country as foreign worker. but its another story if you are an expat.

however I doubt pay in KL is that low, according to what you can get in here.

oh yeah just a friendly reminder you need to improve in writing.

I have spent the last 6 years living outside my hometown/country, and I personally think that working in another country expands your horizon and puts you out of your circle of comfort. Learning to adapt in new, alien environments helps you develop into a more mature individual. Just my two cents, but I think that this should be seen as a pro and not a con.

totally agree with that.

To me, home is home, of course it's nice to be at home but people will never improved if they choose to stay in their comfort zones.

Anyway, I'd really recommend people to go out from malaysia, maybe work in some other countries, gain exposures, international networks and experiences. These are definitely be really helpful in long run, regardless of your future choice of coming home or stay abroad.

Well you got some points there. For me, I believe in carpe diem, so enjoy while you can. Imagine in Malaysia you drive but coming to Spore you take public transport, traveling by B.M.W. is a huge turn off for me.

In addition, I believe working culture in Spore isn't much different from KL. Exposures aren't that significant anyway.

Managed to get mine recently. You could check out the following:
craigslist
sg-house.com <-- inside got many agents
