ngam ngam 30 here can ar ??
haha... wish to join you guys for gathering but job load very busy

haha....sure i wont use broken language when applying jobs.

ya. maybe i will go there and stay for a period.

I have a friend who drives MY car in SG too.. She got car allowance from company so it's a good compensation.
But you need to go out every 14 days... besides paying the daily charge of SGD 30 and also parking coupons as it's not possible to get a season parking in hdb due to malaysian car.

If you are first year EP, you can drive with your Malaysian license for 1 year. after that you need to take the license conversion basic theory test.

IIRC WP, S Pass & EP not allow to drive any foreign registered vehicle in Sg if they have a Sg residential address, in other words, you have to stay in JB
.

can you even meet the b & c criteria ?

Any work pass holder, who is neither a Singapore Permanent Resident (SPR) nor a resident of Singapore, may drive a foreign-registered car and motorcycle in Singapore only if ALL these conditions are met:

a) he is the registered owner of the vehicle ;
b) he resides outside Singapore;
c) the vehicle is kept or used outside Singapore for a total period of 6 hours or more everyday ;
d) he has a valid insurance certificate and road tax for the use of the vehicle on Singapore roads ; and
e)the vehicle has an Autopass Card to validate its entry/exit at Woodlands and Tuas checkpoints and for payment of Vehicle Entry Permit/Toll charges.

Please note that a work pass holder who is also a SPR or resident of Singapore is not allowed to drive a foreign-registered vehicle in Singapore

I do hear about the 6 hours limitation.. But the fact is that she has been driving here for around 1 year. I believe many know that we need the Autopass card to register the car. And she also has been saman for coming out from Singapore on the 14th day ... She usually goes to Jb to re-fuel... on the 13th day. So this case the LTA at SG customs tahan her and ask her to pay SGD 10 admin fee per day. Nothing more than that. So since this is happening, I am not sure how the 6 hours limit will take effect.

She have been parking the car in HDB daily all the time with parking coupon. No other issues.

I can check more with her if any of u has any further queries on this. And that time when she went out kena saman, I was in her car.. so this is true.

he didnt mention that he wants to take a mba. anyway getting back investment is just one criteria, some people do it to fulfill their goals, some do it to show off, some do it to meet people, some do it to spend their spare time. it all depends

whoa, so strict ar. i thought i can drive msian registered car. die, sg also cannot, msian car also cannot. haih, must convert soon.

we ought to be very careful here. at least know the law. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse. You have 2 separate things here, the LTA regulations and Traffic Police regulations. You can follow her or you can follow the law, it's totally up to individual. I'm just stating facts.

another thing, your statement 'If you are first year EP, you can drive with your Malaysian license for 1 year. after that you need to take the license conversion basic theory test.' is very misleading. Pls know that this statement applies to Singapore registered vehicles.

Added on July 13, 2011, 7:07 pmbro, can consider your BMW offer now and take me for a spin if you really take it.

Walau got BMW offer!!

I got my own BMW too. Bus, MRT and Walking. haha!!

I was in service, currently in IT. I guess both NUS and NTU MBA are reputable, at least to me.
Do you mean SIM or SMU? I've a chat with my colleague, he did tell me that SMU MBA is kind of renowned, but i just not really sure about it. SIM do offer lots of joint degree as what you mention, got a few ex-colleague taking that undergraduate course , but you're not looking at that right?
I wanna have a break on pure technical stuff, looking forward some managing and analysis skill, enlarge my network circle, gonna be hard for part times.. my colleague already warn me for that.

May i know what should i apply in order to work at singapore?

work pass. you just have to apply for job. once you're offered, your employer will certainly apply for you. they will decide which type of work pass to apply and subject to ministry of manpower's approval.

Well then it is either the firms are ripping us off big time, or they are paying substantially different salaries to the A1s (the ones you're referring to vs the ones that I know).

Yeah, sometimes I took cab and use CC to pay...

thx for all of your feedbacks guys, this has help to firm up my decision. I will be working in SG alone, while my wife will stay back in KL if the deal falls thru. She wont be alone at home, parents will accompany her. She will live her life like normal, except that I wont be by her side on weekdays, this sucks. But before that, both of us have to sit down and discuss thoroughly.

The cost of living for a married couple in SG is too much to bear, especially the rental already set me back at least $1.5k. Plan to bring my car down SG, but its impossible unless I stay in JB, after reading the earlier posts.

Time to brush my nego skills, hehe. Btw, anyone has come across this company, FMC Technologies? How are the working environment and benefits?

OOT, this thread is super active man, only 1 day difference already increase another 4 pages.

I think if you just rent a room then it's only around S$400, or 650 (with air cond).

At the outskirts maybe? Better locations will require at least 700 - 900 per room.

Outskirts u mean Jurong West or Up north areas? There are many ads on Gumtree with price range of 300-600 if you know how to use the filter function, locations aint far away from CBD... SG is small anyway.

I was looking at whole unit rental (2 rooms) for a family of 3 ppl (plan to have our first child next year) with working location at Jurong West, so accomodation is around the vicinity. Mind recommend any property-for-rent websites that are useful?

but according to the post previously, msian cars totally not allowed unless you have your residence in msia and also the owner of the vehicle even if it is in the first year?

lucky didnt take that offer lor... would be totally stupid then... my bonus is more than the depreciation... and for this month i am only in sg for the weekends.... lol, so car will just park at the hdb and incur parking fees
1st step, apply for a job... 2nd step get the job... 3rd dont need to worry
whoa, cab drivers dont like people like you XD i pay cash so can tip
with a wife and a young kid? cannot lor...

I see then you are right about the price.
