but he is the Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and Minister of Manpower.
big people at top.
appropriate for me to call him up regarding my case?

yes. I am applying for internship placement.
But after my 4 months internship placement, I am graduating and can directly continue to work as permanent position after that.
The company is aware of that and the hiring manager has mentioned that will monitor my performance during the 4 months and will consider to continuing hire me as permanent after i complete my intern.
So, I think i am not basically "just an intern".
I am intern who able to continue as permanent after 4 months.
So from company point of view, they not rugi isnt it? instead, they untung cz considering that they can pay me cheap salary for 4 months intern, then only take me as permanent. or they can kick me out directly after 4 months if i cant perform.
So what's the down side that the company consider?
I dont understand why the HR seems like so irresponsible in my case.
Probably should follw forummers advice, write an email or call up the hiring manager to draw his attention on my case.

One word, Malaysia is hopeless....

I assume we as Malaysians working in Singapore will never ever return to Malaysia to work again seeing this kind of bullshits and inequality among the minorities happening in Malaysia every now and then.

I feel that even I am a foreigner in Singapore, I was being treated even better than I was in Malaysia as a Malaysian.

LOL, U mean $1.00 = RM1.00, if that's ever happen, i go 14th floor.

i wanna ask, what kind of job can a materials engineer look for or expect in singapore? Because normally ppl only say mechanical or electrical or chemical.. I screened thru jobstreet and so on, i saw most of the engineering field is semicon related, is there any materials engineer or who might know about the market in sg that we materials engineer would best fit in? I would prefer metal related industry..

Normally what i see if you pay half month rental commission to the agent, the other half month are paid by the landlord, that was i experience last time when i rent a room through agent. Would it be 18.2k now?    Very lucrative???

May be you are one of the successful one, should be at least 85k...    

yes fresh grad

where is your "back home" that can buy landed for under rm200k?

anyway yes it is in property agent's best interest to drive the prices higher. higher price = higher commission for them mah. but this is also supported by high demand - if got low demand high supply, agents however bullsh*t you also they got not much influence to increase prices.

JB still can...

There are a lot of gated communities in JB. Most of the new development has got 'gated communities' like Ada heights, Bandar Dato Onn, and a bunch more.  Unfortunately, I think the prices of these properties are very high (most >500k).  The cheaper ones you can get maybe at Ulu Tiram matured housing area.

how many decades ago is this? my old area in seri kembangan (i.e. sh*tty non-prime area), new condominium all going for rm400+ psf liao. my colleague nearby bought a small landed place like 1-2 years ago, land not even enough to park a car, built-up 700sqft also rm200k+ leh.

Now sitting good and counting $$$...     but hor, rumors said property bubble coming hor....ever consider to offload it?? 

The sooner it burst the better!!!.....LOL

May be can offload first and temporary stay in a hotel or rented house, then when property bubble burst, may be can buy back a much bigger one like a Khir Toyo palace to stay.....

By the way, the HR added it is for Malaysian who work in Singapore. I just so confused about this income tax thing. I thought whoever kena tax would have to pay the tax themselves and nothing should be paid by company. But my company, if kena tax, I have to pay and company will use those $100x10 to pay for their part. Is there such thing?
I doubt they just find excuse to deduct my salary because at first they said apply work permit for me and asked if I am ok to deduct salary as there is levy. No fool would agree that and I was not desperate for that job then eventually they agreed to give me same salary reluctantly...

Nxt door to NCS is apple company bro, u working there ka...?

9 pm... slaving in the office... sometimes 12 midnight.. .zzz

Hi All,

Can I know if applying to government bodies/government agencies in Singapore will it be easy to be qualified candidate and does the pay serve well (especially benefits, medical etc)? I came across the ad and one of the requirement is Singapore PR. For a newcomer like me (who never has an experience working in Singapore at all), can I apply Singapore PR?

Hi Ivan, thanks for replying. I never knew they have this kind of scheme! But I wonder if there's any fee charged to applicants? And from what I read, it is not easy to pass through. Can I apply a job in Singapore without obtaining PR first?

bros...this year i did not receive any income tax statement bo...does this mean i no kena tax?

They do, got my address updated whenever i changed job. My address was changed to current employee and the letter was send together as well
