with a wife and a young kid? cannot lor...

Just to clarify u guys though on cars and driving license.

Driving license.

A work pass holder can drive their Malaysian car in with their Malaysian license no matter how long u have worked here. But you can only drive a SG registered car with ur Malaysian license for the 1st year.

Bringing in ur foreign vehicle.

You can bring in a foreign vehicle into SG but the car must leave the country 6 hours a day.
that is the written rule. the unwritten rule is your car can stay in SG for 1 week. after 1 week must leave and enter again.
This unwritten rule is like the cigarette thing, so not much ppl know about this. I asked the LTA officer at Woodlands checkpoint before. so i know.

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

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.

even if it is not your car and your residential address is in sg? 

SMU focus mainly on management right? Is it local uni?
part time is difficult especially when working hour until 6pm...
my ex-colleague studying in SIM and working at changi and classes start at 7pm. He has got to take 1 hour early off 3 times a week  imagine what will the boss say....

my residential address in MOM record shows that I am staying in Bishan (my aunty house), but i am riding my bike in and out daily for 8-9 months d.
LTA definitely have my records, so if they wanna catch, I am in deep shyt d. that's why i say. there are unwritten rules there.
u can say that when bring it to court, u will lose, but that the norm practice that they do at the check point.

I have a colleague that drive his Malaysia car in once in a while also. because he go back Melaka every week, so there was once that he bring his car
into SG for the whole week, no problem as well.

PS : most importantly, you were not guilty unless you are caught.

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.

potential illegal talk, don't judge me!

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.

thanks for the advice, reason i interested is because, my forte is marine underwriting not because i want to join  old aldi,  i been in my own industry for 14 years,  leg to deep already
i observe the marine industries closely for chui sui (academic)  purposes , shipyard, builder, repairer, oil rig ,shipbroker, cargo, port, marine surveyor and etc. 

Actually, with this, you can definitely bring your wife down.
Cost of living in JB while earning SGD is definitely affordable, just your travel time will be VERY long.
However, there is just one problem, if you do not have relatives in JB.
Imagine you have to rush from SG back to your wife whenever there is an emergency.
