Nope. I didnt scold her.
Today in the phone call, i verified with her whether it is true or not that the appeal is rejected.
And then she asked me whether i can apply permit myself, i told her nicely that i cant.
And at the end of the call, she said that she will help me to call up MOM again and hopefully can update me by this week.
I am absolutely very frustrated but i didnt scold her. Somemore i said thank you to her at the end.
I am thinking of wana called up the HR manager or hiring manager to draw their attention.
Btw, i am also wondering is it possible  the HR tipu me that she has appealed while she didnt help me to appeal?
cz she said rejected but i cant see in EPonline.

but the system used by employer to check our status is also EPonline isnt it?
Or they have separate system for employer?
*
It is. I strongly believe the system that employer and applicant use are same. Shortly after my pass was approved on EPOnline, I was informed by HR over the phone.

I suggest you speak nicely to your hiring manager. If the hiring manager is not interested to help you, then you should forget about it and move on.

If that is the case, it seems like the HR did not help me to appeal.
Cz my side, i can only see the first application on 11/7 was rejected.
There is no update status on 18/7 appeal.

while the HR keep on telling me that 18/7 appeal is confirmed rejected.
Probably the HR cheated me? hmm.gif

I think they are not sincere in appealing for you. You might as well forget it and move on.

Bunch of racist, if this ad is created and aired in SG...

Bye-bye, 100% kena ISA in Changi Prison.

Honestly I think it's just everyone overreacting. You know lah Malaysians super sensitive, everything also link back to race. My opinion is that the message of the ads was sincere, it's just the execution that they screwed up on.

QUOTE(venicelim @ Aug 3 2011, 08:31 PM)
So I am wondering what should I do next?

I don't really remember what job offer you got, it's just an internship kind of thing right (that's why the TEP instead of EP)? At the risk of sounding like an as$hole, HR and the Hiring Manager might not really have much interest in vigorously pursuing your case with MOM ... since after all you're 'just an intern.'

What on earth are you babbling about. It's well known that SG has some of the lowest income taxes anywhere. If you hadn't decided to leave after only 3 months then you would have been taxed at resident rates also what. And the house deposit ... you signed a one year lease, didn't you? So you expect in this world that you can happily break contracts as and when you please without penalty?

try call up this guy Willy 9824 4469, he's the agent who handled my rental. we did all the formalities with IPA only, after got EP card then gave a copy to him/landlord to give HDB.
