our commitment is basically both me and my wife parents are in kl.... going back once a month is just not enough... if we are able to buy a house here, then they can travel here n stay here for like one week or so... thought of getting a car n travel back every weekend but the cost is going to be very high... so our plan is still try to get PR, then buy a HDB... but it is not easy...

for those who replied to my question about 'malaysian driving license convert to sg license'

thank you!

for those who applied for PR, i too got rejected, im an engineer n not surprised they reject me coz engineers alot plus the locals hav been complaining ALOT about foreigners working in sg... coz to them, without us, they would hav more jobs n possibly better pay.

staying in sg, we r giving up alot n contributing alot of rental income to the locals... its not all bells n whistles... we only enjoy the conversion when we go back... 4 times/year?

Selangor to be correct. Total cost is around RM400 (toll and petrol) per trip to and fro. Have to &%*#*^&^% the UMNO govt for stopping me to pump RON95 and this had made me incurred extra RM 100 per trip back home.  mad.gif

hmm... rm300 if ron95.. ok... worth considering... smile.gif

So?

Added on July 26, 2011, 10:41 amObviously, it's not just to photocopy and fax, right?

Even our intern is doing hands-on credit reviews and maintenance of our customer credit info database.

Since I'm not at GS, I don't know the job scope... but he's paid the same as a fresh analyst... so I'd expect he'd be doing all the spreadsheets, data crunching and drafting reports like the other analysts.

so u working in a bank...? blush.gif same line as me... biggrin.gif
