i'm being offered an RF Engineer position in Singapore, quite happy about it, then the company further proceed to help me apply for EP and i just resigned from current company as the hiring company is not willing to pay off for my 2 months notice and I would really like to avoid paying that from my own pocket.

But a week later my EP application is rejected. I don't get it, i resigned with such confident is because my gf who is just graduated from the same course same uni with no working experience, her application is approved like immediately while i'm holding the same degree with 2 years working experience but rejected.

Currently my hiring company is helping me to appeal, really hope everything goes well.

If anything happen (touch wood touch wood!) is there anything i can do to fight for my case?

Get a set of bogus Malaysian rego plates and some double-sided tape. Tape it on in your garage, drive slowly to the nearest petrol station & fill, and then drive home and remove. Make sure no accident or police block, you'll be okay. If there's a petrol station at the end of your jalan, that'll be perfect.

I was all alone in Singapore...didn't have much friends....then due to work wise...i could move from a reseller/dealer position to an outsource team(KL branch) under the principal...there's an unsaid rule...also not nice mah...imagine your principal company korek their businesspartner/dealers/resellers employees.

So since it was still an outsource team..means i'm a contractor and my principal company is my client. So still worked out lor...then got a move from the outsource team based in KL branch back then to a perm position in the SG branch, pretty similar job description.
Also while I was back in KL found myself a lovely partner, whom moved to SG to work...so in that sense...this speed up my process in trying to find a job back in SG. Got a PR before I came back to kl to work, so the move wasnt that hard....nor easy either

How about u?
*
got a offer that i dun loss much after conversion, that time i felt i can go back conquer the market hahah..
another reason is kl is near to my hometown ipoh, so going back to see my mum is easier, few hundred loss is worth it nod.gif

the loss i have recover within a year..

until last year sg side here offer something i cannot refuse , it was no brainer doh.gif

YA, this is why so many wanted to go back KL... but when they think twice again, still refuse to return malaysia due to SGD is too strong to resist.

So, they continue to stay here for decades, and finally slowly settle down, purchased a HDB, started a family, raise thier own children here, convert into a Singapore citizenship, then another 2 decades passed.... your children then graduated from NUS and continue to work in Singapore and life just goes on from here....

Many of my colleagues and friends are like this.

LoL, life is short, make-up your mind, get a firm decision. Tell yourself 5 years is 5 years, then after 5 years MUST return to malaysia. Unless you are foreveralone, then you can go anywhere and anytime you like.

always on a look out, sometime kl does offer a better career deal, i did outpace 1-2 of my peers who continue staying, because i went back to kl for that few years, that few years i manage to jump 3 co in a year, finish a master, settle down there and with a better exposure in the managing level, it open door back here.

Doesnt your company have a panel of approved clinics where you just make an appointment with the clinic for your medical check up?

Looks like no standard company.
