QUOTE(MPIK @ Jul 14 2011, 07:18 PM) LoL, I have been here for 2 weeks and I know it's legal.... Watch porn is legal in SG, who told u is illegal...?? Don't be a smart-ass. Your original quote was "PORN IS LEGAL." It might not be an offense to view porn online, but if you're in any form of possession (that includes that stash of JAV you have in that hidden folder on your laptop) then you're engaging in illegal activity. sos (MDA FAQ): 14. Would I be arrested if I accidentally enter a pornographic website? No, as there is no restriction on the websites you can visit. However, do note that it is an offence to download and store pornographic materials. So ... porn is legal? I think not. |

one of my ex-colleagues just moved to singapore. fuuuuuuuuuu she renting a master room at a condo near the office for $1.4k. at that price seems like more worth it to just tambah a few hundreds and have an entire unit just for yourself ... no? or take entire unit and sublet out one of the rooms.

I thought even for M'sians, need to be 50years old only can renounce PR & withdraw CPF?
sos: http://mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/CPF/my-cpf/Overseas/LivO9.htm QUOTE You may withdraw your CPF in full if you satisfy all the following conditions: 1. You do not hold a valid Singapore Work Permit/Employment Pass or have renounced your Singapore Permanent Residency; and 2. You are: a) 55 years old or above, or b) below 55 years old but above 50 and have not worked in Singapore in the two years before your application, or c) physically or mentally incapacitated from ever continuing in any employment or found to be of unsound mind.

XD I don't really 100% understand what you're trying to say. The limitation is that WP holders not allowed to marry Singaporeans unless got government approval. [edit] sos: http://www.mom.gov.sg/Documents/services-f...sConditions.pdf QUOTE 8. The foreign employee shall not go through any form of marriage or apply to marry under any law, religion, custom or usage with a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident in or outside Singapore, without the prior approval of the Controller, while the foreign employee holds a Work Permit, and also after the foreign employee’s Work Permit has expired or has been cancelled or revoked. 9. If the foreign employee is a female foreign employee, the foreign employee shall not become pregnant or deliver any child in Singapore during and after the validity period of her Work Permit, unless she is a Work Permit holder who is already married to a Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident with the approval of the Controller.

QUOTE(seantang @ Jul 19 2011, 11:50 PM) If he's hired as a SG employee, and he is required to travel to KL, the company should be providing accommodation in KL Agreed. Unless it was specifically negotiated during the interview that your cousin would stay in his own house in KL (i.e., it was one of the reasons that the company hired your cousin in the first place). Otherwise, it is unreasonable for the company not to provide any accommodation. |

Guys,
My GF has used up 45 days of her 60/90 days in Singapore on tourist visa thing. She's already gotten her EPEC and yesterday she applied for a long-term visit pass. From the webpage: QUOTE For applications submitted via e-VP, the usual processing time is about 4 weeks. So it seems that the LTVP won't be ready in time, so in 2 weeks she needs to leave Singapore (can't stay more than 60 days in every 90). Assuming she gets the IPA for the LTVP a week after that, can she enter Singapore using that IPA, or is she still limited to the 60/90 days thing? Or alternately, is it possible to extend her current tourist visa while waiting for the LTVP, given that as a non-PR I'm unable to act as her sponsor? |

You can actually start work with the IPA. I think Medical check-up is up to your new company whether they want or not (my company didn't require me to do so).

For me, with my IPA I entered SG on 31st May, started work on 1st June. Already start working that time then complete the formalities i.e. getting HR to sign IPA, issuing EP, making appointment to go fingerprinting, picking up EP card, etc etc.
