is there any custom tax if i am buying stuff from US and shipped to singapore for example: lens, pc hardware or smartphones?

Anyway, if i am holding Employment pass, and my friends ask me to assist him with his wedding photography buiness as a freelancer is that legal?

The last time I was told that, I was screwed upon by the company saying biz no good, no bonus.   
Lesson learnt: entitled to =/= will get.   
But then, that was back during the economy slowdown.

Keep an eye for me will ya? Oh ya, really no other option? Staying in hotel 50SGD / night is like slaughtering fei chu yuk pc by pc. 

You can just stay at those travellers lodges around CBD/bugis. Not very expensive. Anyway there is a place across City Square RM50 a night.  Looks dodgy but you get a bed and hot shower plus aircon and at night you can see hookers from your window.

I am contemplating getting a motobike/scooter to move about.
Is that feasible?... I heard stories.

Bike insurance actually depends on the number of riding experience u had. to lower down the insurance cost, convert ur license early.
I got a colleague, riding a 650cc bike. he got 7 years riding experience. his insurance only around $400. road tax around $300+

aiyah...why so difficult??? Just renew your msia license. Later, if you like it, apply for a spore license as well, just sit for a theory test will do. 

PUB stand for Public Utilities Board.

If rental inclusive of PUB = inclusive of water charges.

My friend, why you said it is stupid suggestion??? Why after renew the license it will get blacklisted??? Can you enlighten me as i am stupid on this.

I am currently holding both valid malaysia driving license and as well as another singapore driving license. Shall i check whether my malaysia driving has been blacklisted since you mentioned so???? Or do you have any license to start of????

If i told you i am holding 2 licenses, doesnt this tells you i have gone thru the conversion of Malaysia license or you cannot read my message or you think you are the only smart ah lek out there??? U just need to go to any JPJ office to obtain the JPJ letter and it only took me not more than 1 hour for it. then, in singapore, you register (my case at Bukit batok driving school) to take a driving theory test and if you pass, you are on your way to get your singapore license....isnt it simple? but actually not that simple as the test is is difficult....Or if you have went thru some hell process while getting your JPJ letter, please share us your side of story because i catch your meaning that it is difficult process.
Keeping a Malaysia driving is not expensive and that is only RM20/year (May not be just one meal at Food Republic) and if you decided to stop work in Singapore and you return to Malaysia, wouldnt it be handy as you still have your malaysia driving license or you mean you want to maintain a singapore driving license to drive in Malaysia? Could be you already a citizen and never think of others who may return to work one day? Please enlighten me. Thanks

Well, I am not that familiar with the law but for cases like us, I think we need license for both m'sia and sg...unless we own the international license.
We need the malaysian license to drive in m'sia as we are citizens there.
I do not think the cops will accept a sg license when we get stopped in a road block back in m'sia...just like we can't show our EP/SG IC to the cops when they ask for identification.
We need the sg license to drive in sg (after a year residing in sg) as we cannot use our m'sian license anymore.

I understand that there are people who mentioned that within the JPJ letter, there is a request for LTA to cut our m'sian license into 2.   
But imagine, if we are to move back to m'sia in the future, are we required to "convert" back from sg to m'sian license?

To cut our Malaysia license to two is bxxxsxxx lar. I still having my license and no one mention to cut my license. If you move back to Malaysia, if you have a valid malaysia driving license, the sky is clear. But i dont know if your license is expired for extended time, dont know whether there is any requirement for you to take a driving test all over again or not.  Anybody know???

May i know how old are you? Do you have any licenses?? Have you ever stopped by a malaysia police and you show them your singapore driving license??? Please clear our doubts. Thanks

who had said an official letter by jpj is bxxxsxxx???? I only said to cut the malaysia license to two is bxxxsxxx. You are reading and advising or you like to create problems?

Mackiddo....there's no specific rule that states from JPJ's website that one is allowed to drive a malaysia registered vehicle with another country's driving license...in this using a singapore driving license

Eh...letter taken = blacklist already?   
Means I die die need to convert already since I took the letter.
