With so many people who are drawing millions dollar salary and keep increasing their tax free income. It is time for IRAS to increase the limit to a few millions then decrease the tax rate. That's fair for all and IRAS may collect even more money. K, my 2 cents, I am not running for election.

Still have IRAS website to print out your annual contribution. If they see your cpf hit the limit, they will take your iras statement inorder to give you higher credit limit.

?? it is only 15min or less per trip. Unless you push your bike all the way.

so be many of them, just look at the custom on friday. Many are going back weekly to be with their family, especially those young family expecting new born.

SG-MLK express from lavenda bus station have special trip to muar cater for those people, can't remember the timing.

there are more important factor for PR application, weekend trip to malaysia is not a concern.

Enough to keep your heart pumping. A real monk can live with much less.... minus the few who do charity works.

The question should be "What is the min expenses for a single adult working in SG?"
assumed the person have to work, keep clean and stay healthy.

What is your capability?

Good to take the 2 years bond @ 2.3k for wiping table only, all those food court cleaner get less than that.

If you can do real engineering works then you should do some analytical thinking here.

I am not interested to find out that answer, jasperng is the one.

Why should I focus on that question? I WILL find ways to live with what ever I have.

I rather focus on "how to progress?" given any starting point.

Have to read this with a pinch of salt.

1) Item under the same cat. are of different level. Eg. sub 1000cc car vs 1.6L Jap car; Bus/train that's on time vs miniBus.
A RM1 nasi lemak in luar bandar is just rice and sambal, maybe one slice of timun. A nasi lemak in SG have more stuff.
So people are buying better quality stuff at higher cost. The index only shown the average you need to live a "common" life based on the country standard. One shall not use it to compare between country.


2) It shows SG have higher disposable income. I guess that's the reason we are here.

They don't have an index for people like us where we live across the 2 country. We may have Malaysia house + Food + SG internet, phone etc

Bro, still have other jobs. Casino or bar jobs should be the last choise for him.

Quick Jobs? Security Guard.
check the STAR paper. From there you take a course in SG to upgrade then move on.

I am willing to trade off any two digit increment for >=$10k fix montly salary.

The 4 months bonus is more than 8 months bonus for salary =< $5k.

mine:
yr:>5
electronic
bn: 5~7 (by year end)
ic: single digit (july)

You have to prove you got your MY license before you enter SG for long term(study or work). Letter from JPJ will show your pass date, that's what they look for. So good luck if your EP or student pass start date is before your license pass date.

I have 2 wallet when driving across country, as PR have to show NIRC and Sg license while MY side is usually easier if you have a MYKad and your wallet don't have too much cash.

that's why I said they only look for your MY license start date, the rest not so improtant.

The number of days you stay in SG is less than their limit but I can't remember the exact number. Once I does not meet the requirement for a few year, ICA renewed my permit for another 3 years instead of 5 or 10 years.
