combine with your TV lor. i'm on starhub cable tv + 16mbps cable internet. no complaints lor, can watch 1080p youtube vids is fast enough d. also no probs with online gaming.

but the cable tv ... the hubstation hd receiver/recorder a bit lag one, change channel that time will rage cos press press press nothing happens then it starts to change 4-5 channels at a time.

Hi guys, just a quick question here.

Well, I was employed with a Singaporean company since March 2011 as a Project Engineer (I had an EP) but I left in late June because I didn't like the nature of the job, which is in construction =/

I found employment with another company as a Design Engineer shortly thereafter and got my IPA approved when the boss suddenly decided that he wants me to relocate to freaking Bintan which wasn't brought up at all during the interview or the contract. I had to refuse him and we tried to work things out but to no avail, so I parted ways with the second company thereafter.

So, second job, IPA approved but I haven't gotten my EP yet.

I was then hired by Dyson very recently as a Design Engineer as well, and they offered me a salary of $3k plus other allowances, which is of course, subject to the approval of EP.

My question is, having had two jobs where I relinquished my EP in the first one and only got as far as an IPA approval in the second one, what are the chances that I would be rejected for an EP? It's probably just me being paranoid, but I would want to know.

p.s. I have a Masters degree from UK and an undergraduate degree from Malaysia, so I hope this counts towards the approval of the EP.

you forgotten about the 4 heavenly stars of LYN??

1. Mackiddo... definitely more than 8k. but he is PR, so no pass is needed
2. Kockroach... also more than 8k i guess, just got his PR. not on EP anymore.
3. Seantang.... this is always is a mistery... but i think he is surely PR also.
4. Alaskanbunny.... he is on EP, but EP cannot see which category from the card 1 ma. but his pay should exceed 8k.

years ago, diploma holder also can get S$3k in semicond industry or production related jobs but not many can do it for a long time. 12 hours rotation shif + OT (legal or illegal) etc, very bad for your biological clock.

now some fresh grad get $3.5k with NS, so S$3.2k without NS is possible for electronic industry.
