I rather wait the SGSII, it will be release either this month or next month. It's more worth it.

Oo I went to Expo just now to check out the Courts sale. Since I've only been in SG a few weeks maybe I haven't got a proper "sense" of the strength of SGD, but a lot of things there seem damn cheap leh. $10 irons, $3xx 32" LCD TVs, $2k 47-inchers, etc etc.

Too bad I dun have apartment yet so couldn't really buy ...

This is why Singaporeans are getting richer and richer whereas Malaysians over here are getting poorer and poorer these days.

Anyone here thinking of investing in a condo or apartment in SG?

I feel that if you have the free funds, ie $70K or $80K for downpayment, can try to invest in some properties in SG as the properties prices in SG appreciates faster than MY.

Having said that, if you are eligible in buying a HBD, then it would be better.

MOM refused to give reason according to some companies that helped me applied. My renewal of SPass also got rejected. My company said no reason stated.....

Did you change jobs frequently? Did your previous employers reported something bad on you to the MOM?

Seantang,
No point spoon feeding these people. You've already made it as clear as clear can be.
These people are typical attitude M'sian. Expect everthing to be handed to them on a silver platter. The world dosen't work that way.

Hello, mercury8400... u r the one who is of a shallow mindset.

if any of you have friends working in stanchart, get them to apply the singtel iphone plan for you. it's $34/mth for free incoming, 500outgoing mins, 12gig data, 500sms, 2 year contract & iP4 32gb free. each staff can apply 3 lines/phones.

i dunno how singtel makes any money off this seeing as the iP4 32gb is $1k+ off the apple store ($34x24 = $816).

Wow, you working in Standchart?

Indirectly, i can assume that anyone who joins stanchart will be awarded a new iphone...

Any other companies have this kind of benefits?

I dont think these kind of benefits even exist in companies in Malaysia.

I rather have a company that pays me $100 more in cash salary every month.

Definately, you need to compare to companies with the same salaries and environment offered.
If both Tan Ah Beng Pte Ltd and Standchart pays you the same, environment almost identical, both have ample opportunity for career progression and areas to learn and explore, definately you will choose Standchart.

If TAB P/L offer the same terms as SCB... then SCB has issues, I reckon.

I am just quoting an example between A and B.
Yup, benefits in monetary terms is definately the best.

How bout this Singtel plan?

user posted image

Monthly fee at $95 and SGSII at $0.00

Free 500 mins per mth
Free 500 sms per mth
Free 12GB plan per mth

I do some calculations.

$95 x 24 mths = $2280

$2280 - free handset of $800 = $1480

$1480 / 24 mths = $62 per mth (which I think is a pretty standard cost for using a data plan in SG)

I think it is still very very much better than Maxis, DiGi or Celcom plans in Malaysia?? Correct me if I am wrong. What do you think guys?

@francisbacon7

i am not sure what's your field of studies or areas of expertise is.

It is regretted to say most of the employers nowadays will give priority to Singaporean or PR residents first before considering Malaysians.

Meanwhile, is your applications all based in city or downtown area?

Maybe you could try to apply to companies based in Tuas, Changi or Woodlands areas as most city jobs will normally be taken-up by Singaporeans or PR itself.

According to my friend who work as Agency in SG before, what he said is that the field like IT, Accounting and Engineering would be the easiest to find job in SG even though you are a foreigner this does include Malaysian.

Yup i agreed but ppl still prefer Singaporean or PR, this is why I ask him/her to try to search around Tuas Comapnies, there are tons of companies and opportunities in this area.

Otherwise his/her resume got to have something wrong or his/her reason for leaving his/her previous company is not strong enough.
