with the levy hiking recently & quota on S-pass, my comp. is also having the issue...
local singaporeans is very very difficult to get to do those physical intensive labour tasks in our plants. we mostly employ china/india/bangla for physical intensive tasks...
http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/pas...es/default.aspx

A Work Permit (WP) is generally issued to foreign unskilled workers with a monthly basic salary of not more than $1,800.

The duration of a Work Permit is generally two years, subject to the validity of the worker’s passport, the Banker’s/Insurance Guarantee, and the worker’s employment period, whichever is shorter. The worker is only allowed to work for the employer and in the specified occupation.

Specific variants of Work Permits allow foreigners to work as domestic helpers, confinement nannies and performing artistes.

if using Tuas 2nd link, car VEP SGD 20 per day + toll to & fro SGD6.40. total SGD 26.40.
every year free 11 or 10 VEP (cannot remember the exact free VEP per year).
you can find more from LTA --> http://www.lta.gov.sg/motoring_matters/ind...oring_guide.htm

*** To be honest, it is not worth working in singapore from my observation in term of $ with exception highly paid (SGD3.5k above) or company finance you with allowance or one is looking for international/oversea experience exposure or still single.

most of the time, they will ask for your passport + employment pass/working permit.
driving in/out since year 2008 on & off and have been nearing 1 year daily. just a time being asked for passport before leaving sg custom, checking for summons if any.

at SGD2,200, if you are looking for overseas experience & not $ (you do not need to support family, no loan, single), then u should consider seriously to take it.

just for accommodation you need to pay minimum monthly SGD 4xx-6xx, depends on location and size & facilities. transport around SGD1xx-2xx. meals depends on individual. entertainment depends on individual.
daily groceries depend on individual.

just know singapore companies (some chinaman type) always ask for malaysians as cheap labour.
pls becareful when job hunting sometimes.

choice is yours. what do you need & want.

that is why in university there is final year project (fyp), individual & group assignments. can't agree one just generalized project management is not learned in uni. there is also a subject operations management. basic management. a hiring manager will ask about the fresh grad candidate on this fyp to gauge him/her in one of the hiring criteria. confidence of speaking, extra-curricular taking in uni, etc... does not limit to china, myanmar, etc...

depends on company business nature & project nature. a project engineer may involve from preliminary design stage to completion stage, handover.
input design ideas and coordinate with other disciplines, produce design drawings (CAD! one may have drafter to assist), prepare BQ (may refer historical project reference, ask from vendors, contractors, etc), tender documents, interview bidders, attend progress meeting, site-coordination, gantt chart, site preparation, risk assessment, method statements, liasing with authorities, manage sub-con, daily/weekly/monthly report, any tasks assigned by project manager/superior, go hardware shop buy with cash, stock-take, manage feedback and maintain good relationship with clients, manage labours, on-site trouble-shoot, (factory acceptance test) FAT, SAT (site acceptance test), etc...

some may also need to understand the operation process for a plant/factory or from oil & gas exploration to production stages, upstream to downstream and vice versa, all depends on the type of project. without understanding of the operation process one may not have available resources to manage a project well and upkeep within cost budget. for this type of project, the engineersss need to start to discuss with the client/owner/developer's requirements the operation process to design...

there are many things to learn and one's willingness to learn on-job and read.

sometimes, that is why by-book happening and not practicability.

am still learning... from mechanical engineer to project engineer to QHSE engineer/internal auditor. no choice to transfer from kl office to sg office due to business unit divestment. still prefer to work in kl...

maybe u will start to know BCA, EMA, SCDF, JTC, PUB, LTA, NEA, MOM, etc...wahaha!

this is sg, becareful sometimes as what with on paper is not as what employer claimed in ur actual works... welcome to sg!

you should start to plan a saving from now. you can self-contributed to your EPF through CIMB clicks/Maybank2u.com every month with condition you have a EPF account. Other saving plans are up to individual. Pls start at least 2 type of savings, plan for retirement, inflation in malaysia is hiking.
anyhow, choice is yours.

back pj average 1-2 times on Fri night every month ... should any good offer from KL drops by, wanna back kl instead working in sg.

driving.

sometimes, some brains are too straight, do not know how to twist-turn. over law-abiding. sometimes, twist-turn also can comply with rules...

that is the issue, typical singaporeans... it is not about some1, it is about after go through group discussion.

everyone always think the the big marine K* is the best with 6 months or 8.5 months bonus...
my manager was from there as apprentice with ang mo when he was young, many stories from him...
the big K* is not like last time.

Added on March 28, 2011, 11:04 pmon paper there are recommendations of 2 solutions. there maybe more innovative & creative solutions to become 3rd or 4th or 5th or etc solutions.
it is about to think innovatively and create a balance win-win situation for everyone technically & commercially & lawfully.

certain singaporeans just blindly follow & lazy to think or just tai chi. in short, lazy.
beautiful on paper but not on implementation if observe carefully.
