Hi guys. Just wanna update on my recent jobs interview. I successful on the 2nd interview in SG. Everything was fine until I asked them about Friday lunch hour time. Since I'm Muslim, I need to go for Friday prayer. I'm so shocked went the HR manger inform me that I'm not allowed to go for pray. Even after I said I ready to compensate by working 1 hour extra every Friday or get my salary deducted.

He said that it either my job or my religion and request me to give my decision in three days time. I got no choice but finally to said no. But the surprised news came yesterday and now they offered me to work in Malaysia instead so I can go to Friday prayer  nod.gif . He said it's a win-win situation as I get to pray while they get me  tongue.gif

Although the salary is in RM, I'm very satisfied as they offer me 30% increase from my current salary and minimum of 1.75 months bonus (stated in EL).

Thanks for all the advise guys  notworthy.gif

actually u can get the job 1st then only disucss... or every friday disappear 1 hour... jais there will help...

Acca not sufficient?

From what I understand the Big 4s in Malaysia are paying more to ACCA than to degree grads.

For the case of Sg, the rate is the same

from what i heard, sg values their local bac. of acc. more than professional papers

woohoo! got jobfair... any1 going? rclxms.gif

I'm thinking of walking to Macritchie to Bukit Timah via the treetop walk. It will be too easy if just hike up bukit timah alone.

if all batang then its fine, if there're girls then i think better to rethink the plan... plan around 10km, or 2 hours trip... with lunch/breakfast+chatter should be around 5-6 hours already
