If there is...I would not mind being an intern for a few years.

Yeah actually I am si beh curious on why you do that? Considering of going back to KL but held back by the juicy exchange rate.

So?

Even our intern is doing hands-on credit reviews and maintenance of our customer credit info database.

Since I'm not at GS, I don't know the job scope... but he's paid the same as a fresh analyst... so I'd expect he'd be doing all the spreadsheets, data crunching and drafting reports like the other analysts.

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?

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.

so u working in a bank...? same line as me...

i hav delays in replying coz i dont access internet all the time...

for those who r not pumping RON95 back in msia, get a msian CC or borrow it from ur family to pump ler... why pay more unless ur car must run RON97

i dont hav a car here in sg, but i was jz back in kl using my family car n i noticed pump attendant nvr comes out from their shop to see what im doing esp if ur car is far from the counter....

jz my suggestion dont flame me if u dont believe, u can drive watever car but pandai-pandai la, try this:
1. pump at wee hrs, where attendants will stay inside shop
2. pump at a big petrol kiosk where u can pump far away from the shop
3. hav a msia cc, when ppl tell u, u pretend dont know jz pump n go la, where got police so free come to petrol kiosk check u

$8k per month for 16hrs days and weekend work is not too high actually. What surprised me is the 16hrs work, which is not allow under MOM, max allowable is only 12 hrs per day.

If I have it my way, some of the frequent posters here will have most of their post deleted, post count reset and warn.

If chatting is one way of sharing info, then clearly you have no qualms if this is moved to kopitiam. Guess I have to start removing post which are irrelevant

single young malaysian buying ~$1m private property in SG....

price is too high at the moment. Can consider renting whole HDB unit instead, rental should be close to the loan interest.

Added on July 26, 2011, 11:34 amThe official work hours in the employment contract are always normal... 8 or 9 hours.

That you choose to work OT (Own Time) for 8 hours a day... that's your choice.

MOM's regulations only pertain to official work hours, especially stuff like shifts, hourly/daily rated work etc. And low income or regulated workers etc.

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.

Hi Sifus,

I have question here.
I am planning to roll over to SG alone look for job until I get one. I expect myself to get a job within a month.
How do I find a room that will allow me to rent without any contract? just one month and bye bye..no commitment.
As economic as possible as I will be spending money ONLY and not making any money. Thanks!

I think is difficult to find a room just for a month unless u go through agent.

But when u go through agent, u need to pay 50% of your rent as agent fee which I see is not worth it as u r only staying for a month.

just got hired by some company... they are applying work permit for me... how long it takes for them to approve it? can be few days? 2 weeks? 1 month? i don have criminal or wrongdoing in my history.... and got 1st class degree in software engineer.

can get in a few days?? coz i cannot wait to start working
