Depends on where you are employed.

1. Who's your employer? Is your contract with a SG registered company or MY registered one?

2. Where are you able to work? Obviously you can work in MY as you're Malaysian, but do you have a WP/EP to work in SG?

3. Where is your salary paid? In S$ into a SG bank account or RM into a MY bank account? Are you paying CPF or EPF?

And even if you are determined to be employed in MY or SG, the tax dept in SG or MY might still deem you to be earning income in their country. You might need to pay tax in 2 countries... but you can claim a deduction for taxes paid in one country when you file tax in the other.

my quickest record from Tanjong Pagar to Larkin, JB bus station is 1.5 hours by public transport including clearing immigration.

After doing some research, I have came out with several routes.

Sutera Mall > Jurong East? (Have to take taxi to there - Around RM 5), Slower but cheaper
Bukit Indah > Jurong East? (Have to take taxi to there - Around RM 10) Faster but more expensive
Bukit Indah > Boonlay? (Longer distance to travel to Tanjong Pagar)
Larkin?

Does larkin have buses to tuas checkpoint?

Then you'll pay tax to Singapore as your employer will submit a statement of your income to the Singapore tax dept each year.

However, because it can be argued that you are stationed in Malaysia and derive income from Malaysia, you might need to pay Malaysian income tax. This is common for example for expats where their employment is with their company in their home country and their salary is paid in their home country as well - but they still need to pay tax in their host country because they 'generate their income' in their host country. Expats have their host country tax liability paid by their employer.

You should get your company to agree in writing to pay for any taxes you could potentially incur in Malaysia IF the LHDN somehow find out about you and decide to send you a tax return.

Hi peeps, I wana ask if renting a room at a budget of $500 b possible in clifford centre..

1) It can be done in an hour using Transtar's TS8 to Outram MRT or Causeway Link's CW5 to Newton, provided no waiting time for bus. TS8 departs at the top of the hour from JB CIQ, CW5 every 20/30mins.

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

hi precursor80,

i had convert to singapore driving license for 4 years ++ d. Because my next coming job might require me to drive alot.

No. try get your facts right 1st before posting to avoid confusion. You don't need a Sg license to drive a Msia car. This issue have been discussed quite a number of times before .
