I am waiting for the appeal on TEP too..
aiz...
Keep checking the status on EPonline eveyday.
nothing to do but to wait wait wait and wait....

Thats what i suspect too. He needs to leave SG inorder to get the total amount. Another thing is getting the EP itself, chances to getting it back is low considering the current situation. Having said that he does not need to contribute that monthly 1k for CPF which helps alot financially.

nono, u misunderstood his meaning, he said, if ur friend wanting to get back the CPF, he/she have to revert back his/her PR status and FOREVER CANNOT WORK IN SINGAPORE ANYMORE. There is a FOREVER word.

Not easy to get cpf money out.
Better think of plan B such as part-time jobs , sell car, down size hdb for extra cash.

YES..that's what i mean, its like u have to severe your working relationship with singapore if you want to take out the CPF amount....i'm also contributing to CPF....also feel the pinch....

of course you can always come back in to spore BUT as a visitor only....

oh ok haha i understand now , I told him he may never get his CPF money back unless he gives up everything in SG. At least if he reverts back to EP he saves on the 1k contribution monthly , is that correct ?




You see there is not plan B for ppl like him . Have you heard of RWS and MBS ? HIs problems are irreversible haha. The only logical solution for him is to leave SG.

"physically or mentally incapacitated from ever continuing in any employment or found to be of unsound mind."

May be a good option to get back the CPF monies.

You can renounce your PR anytime....but to withdraw CPF u will still need to meet those conditions

Added on July 19, 2011, 3:51 pmI'm not sure if anyone can just 'downgrade' from PR to EP from your own end. BUT i've heard back then before Singapore GE...that someone when wanted to renew his/her PR...got rejected and was given EP to continue on. Again that's what I heard...

My company agent just delivered my work permit today together with a letter of waiver for apply for marriage blah blah. does that mean i can marry anytime? XD
and some info needed here, is there any restriction for work permit holder to change job like within certain timeframe i cannot change company?

Just curious if anybody here has gone through singpore NS?

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.

I gone through malaysia NS

Why MBS and RWS got anything to do with him need to downgrade his PR?? U mean he went there and gamble and lost lots of money? So, he must leave singapore to stay away from the 2 casinos? First, you can apply ban on him to enter the casino. Therefore he cannot enter the casino and no need to gamble away with the $$$, but there is always singpool, bookies and casino ship around. Even if he gives up his PR, he return to Malaysia, but there is also a Casino on the top of the mountain which he can goes everyday. No need to pay levy.

I think the best way is to remain in Singapore and apply a ban to enter the casino, in Singapore, at least he still earning a decent SGD$$$ to pay off his debts. If leaving Singapore, can he make as much $$$ as he can make if he is in Singapore? Also, if in KL, he will still lure to visit the Shaolin Temple aka Genting Highland. Unless he goes to Sarawak/Sabah/Brunei where dont have casino.

Thats crap, they dont even allow you to use a real rifle. And if they did let you, its the old M16A1 model from the 1970's.

At least in the states, in particular houston has some shooting ranges where one can rent weapons for shooting sessions.

Hi,

Anyone know what are the minimum requirements to apply for PR in Singapore?

Cheers,
Amos

I got this letter from MOM written exactly below:

Maybe because she moved jobs within a short period?
Is there a cool down period stated there when her PR application got rejected?If yes...how long is the cooling period?

Just got my income tax notice of assessment today. Have to cough up my tax payable in a month's time. Sigh..
