Hi guys, just a quick question here.

Well, I was employed with a Singaporean company since March 2011 as a Project Engineer (I had an EP) but I left in late June because I didn't like the nature of the job, which is in construction =/

I found employment with another company as a Design Engineer shortly thereafter and got my IPA approved when the boss suddenly decided that he wants me to relocate to freaking Bintan which wasn't brought up at all during the interview or the contract. I had to refuse him and we tried to work things out but to no avail, so I parted ways with the second company thereafter.

So, second job, IPA approved but I haven't gotten my EP yet.

I was then hired by Dyson very recently as a Design Engineer as well, and they offered me a salary of $3k plus other allowances, which is of course, subject to the approval of EP.

My question is, having had two jobs where I relinquished my EP in the first one and only got as far as an IPA approval in the second one, what are the chances that I would be rejected for an EP? It's probably just me being paranoid, but I would want to know.

p.s. I have a Masters degree from UK and an undergraduate degree from Malaysia, so I hope this counts towards the approval of the EP.

Right, that was what I was afraid of.

I'm kinda hoping that the fact that the second job only got as far as an IPA would not count towards me, but I guess I'd never be able to tell.

So how does one go about appealing for a rejected EP? Thanks a million

3 EPs in less than a year and you've never been rejected? Well, that takes a load off my mind.

Thanks a bunch, animorph. You've been a great help. Where are you working btw?

Yep, definitely. I cancelled my IPA a month ago. Been unemployed until very recently.

At my second job, my employer put my salary as S$2800 on paper to allow for the EP application to pass through but only offered my S$2500. Not sure what's gonna happen when it is time to do the taxes.

The legality and ethical issues about this is debatable, but I'm sure he isn't the only one to do so, or whether many foreign employees give a damn about it.

Yeah well thank god I'm no longer working there
