some1 pls help me... i got a quick question... can an ep pass holder with no sg driving license but having msia driving license drive a sg registered car? sad.gif

Answer is no. Only if you have a valid converted Malaysia to Singapore driving license. You can't drive Singapore registered car using Malaysia driving license.

I have been in SG for 2 years. Personally, I don't see a single road block so far.
Probably just at night after midnight near club area, which I don't see any too.

Yes it is common companies have the MVC... my company MVC is 10%...
not to worry... they seldom deduct your pay... =)

My company do practice MVC and AVC, but in different method. Ours is increment on top of our basic salary, more like a bonus.

MVC based on team performance and AVC based on individual performance.
Monthly would be MVC and yearly is AVC.

For last month, we got 12% MVC.

I would like to clarify on the Life Insurance tax relief. Anyone done it before? I have sent it to IRAS waiting for their reply.

Any idea which are the correct one?

- Claim 7% of capital sum insured / actual premium paid (whichever lesser) for life insurance if policy was bought in your name or your wife’s name. Premiums paid for insurance policy on your child’s life are not allowable.
In the quick guide, it mentioned the above.

- The amount of relief you may claim must not be more than 7% of the insured value of your life or your wife's life.
When filling, in the guide information, it shows the above, not the amount premium paid or whichever lesser.

This Life insurance tax relief will not be taken into account when your CPF relief is max capped out....just like in the MY version of RM8k 'deductions' from the EPF relief. That's if u have CPF contributions
*
I do not have any CPF contribution. smile.gif

y go for wired? the wireless 3G would be a better option for me...since its mobile i can take it a longer everywhere i go
also if u r going for wired broadband...u will 1st require written permission from the landlord(if the landlord doesnt already have 1) to have a broadband connection installed. For the charges depends on the package n that you're taking.

Do a search for these local service providers....its all on their website
m1
starhub
singtel
*
If one were to go for mobile broadband, do consider Starhub and Singtel. For M1, really a big disappointment so far shakehead.gif

depends on which area, in my place and some offices, M1 speed is much faster and stable than Starhub.

Yeah. But let's not talk about speed, what about constant connection and no dropout of connection?

i stay in potong pasir, was using friend's M1 3G, very fast and stable...
then i get myself the Starhub 3G broadband, regretted, speed sometime fast sometime slow.. surf net can feel its lagging... upload speed dunno y very low, suppose to be 384kbps, but speedtest many times max 50-60kbps...zzz
i oso tested both at client office in pasir panjang, same result as in my home.
but when test at my office in Suntec, both starhub and M1 are fast, starhub can goes upto 3Mbps, M1 is stable at around 2Mbps.
*
CBD area are always fast. I love to bring my 7.2mbps to CBD to download movie tongue.gif
So far, Starhub does not fail me at any place. Jurong, Woodlands, Tampines, Kallang, CBD.

Did not try at potong pasir thou

As in the electronic cleareance?

for EP holders u wont need to fill up that white card everytime u enter Singapore....Else u will still need to go thru the normal Q...unless u apply for another card that's specifically for eletronic cleareance
*
EP holders no longer need to apply the access card for electronic clearance. EP holders can go to the fast lane for eletronic clearance by using their passport. smile.gif

Not applicable to S pass and work permit holder. They still need to apply the access card if they want electronic clearance.

R u certain?...because my GF who still holds EP still needs to go thru the normal Q. When we ask the immigration officer, the officer replied that she'll need to go thru the normal Q...can't go for the electronic cleareance
*
Yes! I am very sure. I am access card holder and wanted to go for card replacement. The officer said no need and I can use my passport for automated clearance. I tried it and it works! No joke.

But if you renew your passport, you need to update your passport first then.
