Im not talking about malaysia since i never did mention the country. Just the startegy telcos use like most if not all cellphone carriers in the US like at&t and verizon.

Just ask him to try and see whats the response. If he thinks he's worth that amount then by all means go for it

yea, cheap labour is to singapore like crack is to a heroin addict.

My fren loves singaporean food, especially their selection of western restaurants which he says taste much better then in malaysia. I find its ok but not that fantastic.

Its more about the contract period. But i guess thats usually overlooked by the phone they get.

Yup, usually six months.

There are, the prata place has it.

I prefer the peppery taste compared to the malaysia bak kut teh which is herbally since i like black pepper. True their nasi lemak and the all important sambal fall flat on the face, donno why singapores taste prefer a fried chicken wing since the plain nasi lemak with either a a boiled egg or mata telur is much better.

Their otak also is a dissapointment.

Wow, minimum 6 months stay. So far i've rented from landlords and its always 3months minimum stay or forfeit of deposit.

But if the landlord cannot tahan you and ask you to leave within the first 3 months, then the landlord should pay you an amount equating to the monthly desposit. But to escape this prob, what landlords do is impose new rules and make your life a living hell to force you to leave, rather then they ask you to leave.

They will make things very difficult to force you to break the contract and pay to the landlord if you leave within the 3 first months, rather then they ask you to leave and pay you the penalty price.

Woah, a crane accident just occurred at sembawang shipyard, the crane drivers head was sliced.

This ruling reminds me of an animal activist petitioning the amount of space given to livestock during transportation. Only in singapore, they apply it to people, especially foreigners. In dubai which is considered less developed then singapore, you hardly see employers transporting worker in vehicles which were designed to "only" carry goods.

Heres another brochure. Noticed how it depicts the guy whose sitting on the floor is much happier then the guy who has a proper seat? I wonder which fella made this since it just doesnt make much common sense. Instead of malaysia boleh, singapore pun boleh juga.

It wont be publicize, but it will be in mom records that an accident did happen. A few times fatal accidents do happen in both sembawang and keppel shipyards but u never hear about it unless its has a high death toll count.

Anyway the accident i mentioned occurred today. One fatality which was the crane driver. I doubt anybody will fuss about it since its not somebody important so no news about it.

You'll notice for the foreign workers whose company transport is a vehicle designed to transport goods, it doesnt have the amenities of canopy, or proper seats for that matter, let alone seat belts. So in the case of an accident, these guys get tossed around like rag dolls either in a steal cage out the vehicle they go. But its not really a big deal in singapore since their basically disposable people.

He was, part of his head was sliced off since he was operating the crane when it collapsed. But then again he was an indian national, i doubt it would make headline news.

Does anybody which bus i can take from woodlands mrt to larkin?

For some, its either a job which puts food on the table and a roof over their heads or nothing at all.

Plus alot of foreigners have to pay agents for the "privilege" to work in singapore. Those of you who may have worked in company specializing in foreign outsourcing employment would know this rather well.

And since those foreign workers are literally indebted to the foreign emploment agents, who maybe in cahoots with the company which hired the workers in singapore. The misery is compounded twice since it gives the employer the power to exploit that worker even further plus the fact that singapore doesnt have a minimum wage system for foreigners or even its own citizens. Let the good times roll for the singaporean employer.

Too bad, my fren had a room which was taken for only 400 excluding PUB. But then again its a 10-15min walk to the pasir ris mrt unless you mind sharing with the guy.

A recruiter cant decide on the phone on this matter, if he thinks your worth it. He'll most probably defer this to his superior, but then again there are other "you" who can join without the notice period.

Yea, dont put too much hopes on them getting back to you.

Shouldnt a company car be under the company expenses aka road tax, maintenance fee, insurance etc instead of off loading that cost to you eventhough the car is given to you since its intended for business purposes.

Cant you book for a cabby beforehand so that you wont run into difficulties in finding a cab.

Work as a FL is a part time job which is very lucrative and doesnt need a permit.
