since i will be working flexible hours from monday to friday, would it be possible to have side jobs during the weekend?

any idea of what kind part-time job can be done?
was thinking maybe work for cafe's or restaurant or something.

i'm not too sure if you are allow to do that under work permit or employment pass. I also have given it some thought since i [work 2 days off 2 days/work 3 days off 3days ] that kinda schedule but think my company policy is against part time work. Sometimes get kinda boring during off day.

More specifically, what are the restrictions and loss imposed by all sort of rules and regulations. I'm wondering if it is really worthy to dump big portion of income into loan, to get one private property for investment.
cry.gif Indeed this is the first thing that pops up in my mind.

this is the way i think; why bother with getting property?
get a business or something that makes money...then get something...there is no shortage of houses only a shortage of capital.

get something that can enlarge your capital then get a house.

remember, risk and reward goes in the same direction.
when u increase your risk u also increase your rewards; decrease it and u decrease you rewards.

Well nothing is impossible...if dumb people can be leaders; i am sure your dream is easier to achieve.

Have a dream my friend. Without a dream we are are like ships docked at the pier. Only when u have a dream then your mind will find a way somehow to move towards it.

I know this because time and time again when I think about something a million times it will happen.

Dream big not small...the bigger the better,...people fail not because their dream is impossible to achieve its because they dont dream or they are their own worst enemy; meaning they say to themselves they cant achieve it before they even set out to do it...

No one can tell u what u can or cannot u...only u can decide if u can or not do it...

Totally the same in Malaysia. I would say it's a reasonable generalisation. But my experience is with local indians, not those from india, which i beliv is worse.

Haven't encounter any yet in SG, as my company with more tahn 100++ employees, doesn't have any (local or foreign)!!!

Before I went to Qatar for a small project, I've totally no problem working with any races, but after I came back, the India Indian contractor really make me almost gone super-racist. Sigh.

Little wonder that many Singaporeans hate India Indians with a passion and this is one of the reasons why they voted against the PAP during the recent Singapore general elections.

India Indians in Singapore purportedly impose their caste practices and look down upon Indian Singaporeans who are mostly of Tamil stock. e.g. making snide remarks at them in Hindu temples and Little India shops -> naturally, Indian Singaporeans are rightly pissed off at such blatant discrimination, more so by foreigners in their own country. Moreover, India Indians look upon themselves as being of higher class than Singaporeans as they believe that the Singapore govt invited them into the country. In reality, it is because India Indians almost always hire their own village/town brethren for job vacancies in their departments which is why one sees a sea of them in bank back office operations (e.g. Citibank, Stanchart, Credit Suisse, etc) and in IT divisions of many MNCs.

But if you noticed, there seems to be a trend whereby indian restaurants are now hiring china workers to do work normall allocated to their own indian brethren such as making roti canai or being the waiter.
