No they cant guarantee that, i have met houseowners who will raise the rental rate arbitrarily with the excuse that they they didnt expect you to use alot of electricity or do alot of washing. Plus the houseowner will "use" the agent to convince you to let the house owner raise the rental.
*
as u say try to convince since u hav the tenancy agreement normally valid for 1y u can jus refuse to pay.usually many ppl dont wanna get into the hassle n jus pay them off which normally is 20-50 dollars xtra

wifout the agent u can be kicked out of the place anytime + make sure the rooms/units u rent are approved HDB units. some owners tend to rent out non approved ones in the end is the tenants who suffer

QUOTE(mrportable @ Jan 27 2011, 11:36 PM)
i heard that too. am worried about that too... someone can clarify on this pls?
*
if u work less then 183 days u get taxed 15% but if u are still employed in sg u can write in to the iras to get it back. they'll send u a cheque. alternatively u can dont get it back they'll deduct it at the next round of taxing and the left over is paid back to u

hmm.gif may i ask , how to knw if my degree is internationally recognised professional qualification ????

depending on wat degree u hav u can chk here http://app.peb.gov.sg/Html/pe_approved.html this is the uni recognized by the PE board

QUOTE(saiga @ Feb 9 2011, 10:30 AM)
Bro, about the degree thing, if u grad form public U in Malaysia, I can safely say 100% Singapore will recognized it. Did you register yourself with BEM?
By registering with BEM and stating it in your resume will surely give tumbs up as well  nod.gif

tats y depend on industry n type of degree. if u r in the construction industry u wan to get your PE u need a sg recognized degree which is in the list given. if u hav an electronics degree yet u r a applying to b an electrical PE even though u grad from Cambridge your degree is still not recognized n u hav to do extra work in order to obtain your PE.

what MOM checks is only if u hav a valid degree from a valid uni recognize o not is not their call


on 2nd thought y is he asking tat? issit becos he wans to know if ur degree can apply for EP? or issit becos the job requires it to be recognize?
if for ep majority of the msian unis are valid, job wise is subjective to industry, course taken, etc

Errr... no. If I'm not mistaken, your view is that somehow hirers will take the time and effort to perceive differences in the 'quality' of 5 months experience from different candidates.

My view is that they will just assume 5 months equals to zero. And in 99.9% of the cases, they'd be making the right assumption (not much margin of error for 'depends', really).

i agree with sean 5m is not even enuf time to warm the seat. unless the project is a 5m project i doubt a freshie will be able to learn much during 5m. in some industries even if u hav 1 - 1.5y xp is still considered fresh.

Dont know why their doing this since harborfront seems way more equipped then marina south which mainly caters for boats which make trips to singapore anchorage.

to accommodate bigger larger cruise liners. the harbour front one will still serve the near by islands.
