How many people can do that and what about other industries other than the dangerous OnG?

I am talking about normal office 9-5 jobs

hi,

would like to know from those who travel from KL to Singapore frequently.

Am going down to Singapore for interview soon, but I'm travelling via bus that arrives at Singapore around 5am in the morning while my interview is at 10am.

Is there any place I can rest once I reach Singapore?

thanks in advance.

Is free public WiFi available in most area of Singapore? I think I would really need to find my way via Internet.

Very arrogant indeed

Working on offshore oilrigs not dangerous?

Working at Pulau Bukum refinary not dangerous?

Working at LNG plant not dangerous?

Every work place has its risk. Even in an office setting. And its not arrogance that he's speaking but hopefully from experience.

There are different levels of risk when your on an oil rig, a rig which is currently "drilling" is more at risk compared to a rig which is "warm stacked" or "cold stacked".

Its premature to say all oil and gas operations are high risk.

Pulau bukum is the exception though, it would be interesting to see what the investigation team found out about the cause of the fire, plus no employees on the island was hurt except for a few firefighters.

knowing the the risk and taking the precaution step help to minimize/reduce the incident, but it doesn't deny the fact that the nature of the job is still dangerous. Be open and respect other's opinion, that's the point.

I will be getting a manpower supply offer of one of the biggest o&g operators in Singapore. In terms of money and benefits, nothing much to rave about. Is it wise idea to get the offer, for the sake of hopping to be absorbed as permanent staffs? Besides, my resume value will increase as well if I am working as a Client.

Btw, is an engineering position and I have 2 years exp in oil and gas.

Any comments?

my money is on EM. 

there is no one in this world "fully" understand, there is no ideal case in this world.

there is also no "managed [well]" but there is "minimize the risk" or "to the acceptable level".

Just wondering is good to be manpower supply to Clients?Any contractual problems if you are supplied to clients and maybe you will manipulated by perm. staffs?

Anyone come across this case?

Just for sharing, I got a problem in accepting the offer from these 2 co.

Co: Dynamac
Nature: Fabrication of FPSO Top Sides
Position: Asst. Piping Eng. (Permenant position)
Salary: 2.6k
OT: None
Bonus: 4-6 months
Probation: 3 months after that increment 400-500
Pass: S-Pass but if salary hit 2.8k revise to EP
Leaves: 14 days

Co: Exxon Mobil (Manpower supply by Setsco)
Nature: Petroleum Refinery
Position: Inspection Eng. (1 year contract renewable)
Salary: 2.6k
OT: SGD14 per hour
Bonus: No bonus
Probation: 3 months no increment after that
Leaves: 14 days
Pass: EP hopefully if not S
Please I need help here!!dont know which to choose

Anyway I chose EM over dynamac because of career prospect. I believe working as a Client even though is manpower supply is much better in terms of career progression and also experience gain. Both position I am interested in. Hope I am not making the wrong decision, fingers crossed.

Any meet up plans in Singapore this Weekend?

What did I say again? 
Have you heard of LYN Big 4?
FYI, one of them is lurking in this thread and there is chances that you're hired by him.

p/s: Congrats on getting a job with EM.

Just one last question, Is there any cases that EM discriminates contract or manpower supplied staffs?Will they draw border line eg. probably some activities or courses you cant join or maybe laptops will be given to perm. staff only...

Anyone come across this situation?

Hi, is the Setia Tropika Imigresen open on Sunday as well.? The imigresen website states only Mon to Fri but another site says Sat&Sun too.

Hi friends,

I am going to visit SG end of November. I am planning to go for the Universal Studio in SG, just want to find out information as listed below:

-how much entrance fees I need to pay for the theme park
-Is this Universal Studio located nearby to any one of the casinos in SG?
-What kind of transportation I could take to reach the Universal Studio? By MRT and which station?

Thanks for anyone who have been there to leave your guidance.

kena 1 time with this type of bus, which stop at everytown from melaka, seremban, then only kl
imagine those going to alor setar,  then have to stop ipoh, penang as well 
4-5 hours become 6-7 hour, better still if u sit another bro who forgot to take his bath 

You mean driving a Malaysian registered car into Singapore?

Anyways, everything you ever need to know if GIYBF.

In short, yes and only if you reside outside of Singapore. You will still need a Singapore driving license after 12 months.

For those UTARIAN who want to apply for audit career in SG, please don't go to K.C. Ch*n & Co P*C which located at Cecil Street. You will regret then.

And where did you get this "fact" from since it's not stated anywhere in the official websites?
The only statement I see is this.

"A foreigner above 18 years of age and holding a Work Pass/Dependent Pass/Student Pass may drive in Singapore with a valid class 3, 3A or 2B foreign licence, for a period of not more than 12 months. A Singapore driving licence is required after 12 months. Those on short term social visit may drive with their foreign licence for up to 12 months each time they enter into Singapore. For licence not written in English language, an International Driving Permit or translation is required as explained below."
They are mentioning about driving Sg registered car here, not Msia registered car.


I won't want to be caught in an accident in Singapore driving a Malaysian registered car with a Malaysian license after 12 months on work pass from the statement above but that's just me.
Yes, it is just you

I suspect you can probably get away with it but why take the risk. Converting a license is not hard and you don't have to "blacklist" your Malaysian driving license if you are creative enough.
irrelevant

Indeed. The regulation of drivers (ie. driver's licence) and the regulation of cars allowed to be driven or remain in Singapore (ie. registration or country of origin) are 2 entirely separate issues.

 
sometimes, some people never read carefully & understand carefully.

Yes, been considering the same thing but the transport is a b1tch.

P/S: JB King will welcome you

im still contemplating whether to stay in JB in near future...

haiz...prop prices are crazy in kv & jb too...

anyone is going back this weekend? yay, it's a long weekend!

conform is holiday this monday, for those going back via woodlands, prepare to face ppl mountain ppl sea at singapore custom. try take time off to knock off early to void this.

ok.. u are right about the law. but in Singapore. there is always allowance given to foreigner... i just got caught yesterday for bringing in 2 pack cigarettes into the country.
kastam officer stopped me, fine me for 1 pack but the other open pack, they say its an allowance given (aka unwritten rule). they say according to the law, not even a single stick should be bring in. but the order from their higher management is there is an allowance given to foreigner. 1 open packet, less than 20 stick.

same goes for cars. TP rules says that u cannot drive with ur foreign license after 1 year. but their allowance is, as long as u don't touch any Singapore registered car/bike, its ok.

Hi...I have a question.
Can we withdraw from our EPF account 2 for purchase of HDB?
Housing price is continuing to increase and I do not want to pay for other ppl's installment forever.   

Hi, where can I get the Iphone 4s in Singapore? All the Singtel outlet sold out the Iphone....
