UOB Vietnam ?

But to do so, u 1st need to open a Citibank acct in Malaysia then thereafter open another Citibank acct in Singapore?

Citibank vs Maybank if I transfer $10K

Citibank = RM24,300
Maybank = My fren got better rate of 2.4523 few weeks ago (= RM24,523 - $15 bank charge) = net gain = RM24,486

So, you get extra RM186 using Maybank

i am not sure
but i think previously got forumer suggested

and http://www.pay2home.com/

Well I can tell you which bank you can't use. Stanchart charged me sgd50 for transferring some $$ from SCB Singapore to SCB Malaysia.

guys, i decided to let go of the previous company and move on to apply for other company.
There is now another company wana hire me.
But then, will they have problem proceeding with MOM?
Since the previous appeal ard failed, which means already no active application right? then now the new company can help me to apply directly right?

Really depends on timing and schedule
Gotto check at least aa and tiger.sometime either one can b cheaper including convent fee from tiger.
Jetstar chances are more exp but more convenient and u can take the train, again more comfy than taking bus.
But no harm checking it too.
Firefly not convent for me, but I beliv it's not cheap compare to other 3

I like the BT in Sg. Check in queues are shorter (for Firefly especially since the planes are small), distance to walk to the gate is shorter and the queue through security and immigration is shorter. And for Firefly, I check in about 45m before the flight. No need to waste time waiting. Taxi queue is shorrter too. I usually spend 3 hours door to door between Sg and Ipoh.

little rant here, my application for EPEC visa is still in pending for almost a month. Since I already got some interview invitation from sg company, the visa is almost useless already.

is there a bus that take u to T2 from BT in sg to take MRT?

Nope UOB Singapore.

my gf's ltvp visa (using epec) 2 weeks approved liao leh. anyway got feeder bus from bt that takes you to main changi airport. can take mrt from there.

guys, is it unrealistic for a degree IT fresh grad from msia to find his first job in singapore?

I transfer cash back MY at BTI Money Transfer, Lucky Plaza. They only charge SGD 8 commission. Arrive the next working day.

Cheaper than most banks and reliable too.

Is the rate better than banks or money changer?
AFAIK, many money transfer centres in Lucky Plaza area offer so-so rates only.

The rates usually 0.01 to 0.02 lower than what BNM offering. Considered good for me. Money changer rates lousier than that.

since all of you want to transfer this transfer that, u give me earn the $$ better la. i help u change at money changer rate and i bank in for you all. cantik?? if i change frequent at the money changer, can ask for better rate also.

This is cash we talking about. Sensitive item.

I rather DIY then letting someone else handle my cash.

Plus if you carry so much cash together the risk of being robbed is pretty high.

There is no such thing as unrealistic. Anyone can get a job in Singapore.Ask yourself, what is your expected salary?

Fresh IT graduates have lots of competitors.

We talking about IT specialists and professionals from Myanmar, Philippines, and India who are willing to take a lower pay than us all.

The only upper hand is that we can converse in Mandarin. Local bosses does prefer Chinese speaking employers. That's if you work for SME IT companies. MNC then no preferences.

I'm an IT graduate and I've been working in SG for about a year now. Know a little bit more or less the trend here.
