Hi Guys, anyone that have done convert malaysia license to SG license before?

if i have malaysia motorbike license below 1000cc, is it after convert to sg license, it also same class? or just the lower class? e.g < 200cc.

Thanks in advance.
*
u will be getting below 200cc license unless you an prove that u owned a >1000cc bike for more than a year in Malaysia, then they will give u class 2 license.
If you only have the license but doesn't own that big bike or that big bike is not under ur name, then too bad.

cant, because i already, start paying the rental here. so i must start working this month
*
leng zai, it won't work that way. I would suggest you to go back and just continue to pay the rental with ur own savings.
get back to Malaysia so you won't get ur self into trouble for overstaying here in SG. if u were caught overstaying, I think it will affect the chances of you getting a permit to work here in the future.

You can skip Jetstar's convenience fees if you settle your air fares at 7-11 (and if not mistaken, AXS machines too).

You can't do it with AXS machine, its SAM machine.

(AXS owned by Citibank, SAM owned by Singapore Post)

wonder where u get such a high rate?
even Wawasan is 2.46 only.
*
that is the international rate, means its the rate between buying and selling.
The rate that we see is the buying rate which is normally lower.

The highest rate i get normally is from wawasan, then follow by the money changer i always change in JB which is normally 0.001-0.003 lower than wawasan

Today Internet rate is 2.48+ but money changer only offer 2.44.  As expected. The demand is high during festive time and it did drive down the exchange rate at the money changer counter even when the Internet rate is getting better.

Any idea how to get >2.46 now?
*
wawasan is giving 2.468. i think the money changer in JB can get at least 2.465 easily.

Is normal. My company also deduct SGD 100 from my salary per month, then after IRAS sent them my income tax statement, they will use the money to pay and the remaining will return to us. This usually happened for WP holder though.
*

I think it's only applicable to foreign talent, "rubbish" might not be entitled to. Not sure I'm which one.
On a separate note, a friend of mine want to sublet his common room in Bishan for $700/$800. 10mins walk to Junction 8. Can PM me if interested.
*
yes, its better to change in Midvalley, that place offers the highest exchange rate

actually you guys should feel fortunate to be able to stay back in the office.
my job here start at 9-6pm, everyday will leave at 6pm sharp. feel very bored and useless because the company doesn't need us to stay back.
which also means that you got not much things to do and even without you, there is no lost to the company.

employees that think like u r very hard to find these days... my job requires me to work round the clock but i think i enjoy it, even though it means to sacrifice some sleep

the weird thing is, im the laziest person on earth n i nvr finish my homework at school but i enjoy working...hmmm hmm.gif
*
same goes to me, there is 1 thing that you will notice, we enjoy working because we were paid to do the job.
during schooling times, we are not paid for the job. Not only that, teachers often give home work, that makes us need to work even after schooling hours.
But in the office, bosses never expect us to work when we are home because we are not suppose to.
we can choose to stay in office to finish the work. Not only that, during schooling days, our home work comes from different subject.
But when we are working, we are doing something that we really like, so we don't mind doing more to explore the things we want to know.

hi wseng,

i have indeed checked this up w my HR for my fellow jn engineers. Ans:- 1st time renewal aft 1 july 2011 will be on default ori EP to EP (eventho ur salary on renewal is at 2500/mth). However ur 2nd renewal (aft 2yrs) will be automatically be downgraded to WP if u do not meet the min 2800/mth for EP-Q1
*
downgrade to S Pass la. And it really depends la. Some people doesn't get higher than $2.8k but still can get EP.
I was on S Pass previously, my pay just hit 2.5 this year. and my employer applied to upgrade my pass. they submit the application on 15th July.
My upgrade got approved. since the news said that the 2.8 thingy starts on 1st July, so i will say EP or not EP depends on a lot of factors.
at the same time, my colleague, around 30 years old, working same post as me, salary higher than me. got diploma but his application for upgrade got rejected.

FYI, I am not a degree or diploma holder. highest qualification only STPM.
