Hi all,

Just got my PR approved few weeks ago

Have a few questions hope someone could answer me

1) When you converting license from MY license to Sg license, must go take letter from JPJ. I heard if you go to Johor JPJ, they will cut your MY license before giving you the letter? Other state JPJ they do not cut your license and just give you the letter. Is that right?

2) According to SG police traffic/driving school, if you come to Singapore to work a period of time then only you get your MY license, you cannot convert already and you must retake the whole SG license which cost a lot of money. Anyone can advise?

3) Those surgery/disease insurance that use your CPF to pay a portion of the sum. Is it advisable to get those? Any recommendation which one good? Heard NTUC not bad...

Thanks

Hi Mackiddo thanks for your reply.

So in the end no matter what the MY license will be cut? Anyway to not cut the MY license because in certain state like Johor ....sometime see luck but heard of cases police don;t accept Singapore license...so if you get caught and you don't have MY license you are considered driving without license

For no 2, anyway to go around this...it is damn expensive and I believe alot of people is in this situation but not much people talk about this.....

2. EP ..working IT
3. degree from UK
4. 2nd time passed.

I think gotta write more how you have contributed to Singapore...like achievement part you can put charity or what you have done to work place because last time I was based in govertment school so easier to say what you have done ..

When I went to apply 2nd time, it was very little people at ICA office compared to first time ..so don;t know is it because of that

Also the difference from 1st time and 2nd time was I stayed in SG during the time fo 2nd application while first I was staying at JB

Hope those helps

Darn...I came into Singapore very early in my age to work using work permit...looks like gone case for me....

But very funny one of my friend who came to SG to work (as industrial training) for quite some time then later on obtain his MY license....he can convert to SG license

I also heard they see the date on the letter which make some people say those uncle/runner outside JPJ if you give them few hundred ringgit can help to alter the date? Is there such things?
