This tax is applicable to WP only right?
Or what pass?
I have totally no idea about the tax tinggy.
*
Nope. Applicable to non-PR.
Basically ur tax will be 15% flat for ur first yr only (assuming ur first year in SG is less than 183 days).
But if ur income for the said first year is less than $20K, no tax payable.
If i recall corectly 183 days same as in Msia. But rate different lar.

Medical Check Up must be done in SG...

actually i did mine in Msia for RM60 only (reimburseable upon confirmation). Very simply checkup.
just scan over the one pager result which is out within 15mins waiting. thats it. they didnt ever ask for original and they dun wan to look at the big x-ray film that I have to "carry over" here.

*
i do enjoy driving car in msia. but u must understand driving car here is not enjoyable at all. u dun have lots os space to speed.
a lot more zebra crossing. a lot more traffic lights and u really gotto be extra careful here as opposed to Msia.
fine or penalty here is expensive, and dun even think about waiting for discount.

well if its no...then somehow/someone/something is making the exchange rates to go up/down...so that's just my observation for the past few years


Added on July 22, 2011, 4:56 pm
Well...it will start dropping way way before......like a few months month CNY....so unless you're saying these mfg sectors/buyers/sellers starts slowing down their order a few months....still isnt the reason....but whatever reason...i know when is the best time to buy/sell SGD....that's just my 2cents
*
I would say it's due to the strong GDP + low interest rate + inflation = logically central bank will raise interest rate hence currency will up.
but govt is trying to prolong it (not for long tho) to ensure their competitiveness in export market.
if u see the news, the govt is revising (playing down) the high GDP and inflation, to prolong the rate rise.

hi sifus... wanna ask... the income ceiling to stay in hdb applies when you buy or applies also when you occupy the place ar?

have links for this ceiling?
*
dun have the link. but i recalled it was $8k for whole household that wana buy new HDB
The income ceiling might have rise, as the 'sandwich' rakyat is calling for th celing to be higher.

$8k per month for 16hrs days and weekend work is not too high actually. What surprised me is the 16hrs work, which is not allow under MOM, max allowable is only 12 hrs per day.
*
Maybe because once you reach/ breach a salary level that MOM rule doesn't apply?
Just like its normal for employee to work during public holiday, but they dun get double/triple. ANyway, from my experience, wen i work during public holidays, I dun get any overtime, dun talk about double or triple.

Really?? Now I'm really worry. My hiring company is a china company who is a giant in telcomuunication field, in malaysia they always import in their engineer from china and asking them to work under visitor pass before applying actual working pass, so i'm scare that the same thing happened in singapore and causing bad reputation sad.gif
