The singapore government knew this problem way back when and they have always tried to encourage companies here to put singaporeans first ahead of foreigners.

But its hard for the chinaman to give up his opium would be a good example of employers choosing to hire foreigners over locals. Another reason why they prefer foreigners over locals in the work permit category is the penalties which the work permit holders face if they quit their jobs prematurely which ensure that the singaporean employers dont have errant foreign employee's. Plus the fact that most have to stay in their jobs anyway to pay their agent fee is just icing on the cake for the singaporean employer to hang onto his/her "opium".

i dun mind to facts and evidence requirement since it will not happen, otherwise it wont be in forum. but further elaboration on the accusation would be great. It for the good of other potential "joiners" to consider for themselves.

You can take a cab from Bugis all the way to Kota Raya 2 terminal.

That's why now the SG gov are trying to come up with laws to penalise companies doing that. Maybe a hefty fine or maybe more fees to be paid for foreigners. See if they can do it samore.....

Hi...I have a question.

I doubt so leh. If you manage to get it done, you must definitely share your secret with us.

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.

Anyone worked in EPS Computer Systems?

How was it? Environment? People? Job? Salary? Bonus?

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!

that's not all. they are so full of them self that they refused to listen when you point them to the correct direction. I couldn't be bother with these kind of ppl anymore. Is it really that hard for ppl to understand that traffic police and LTA governs different things?

Highly unlikely, the "opium" has become a way of life for the "chinaman". Especially in the mechanical engineering sector in tuas or the shipyards.

Its like trying to get a hardcore smoker to go cold turkey, no way in hell.

Huh?! what holiday is thay???

Haji Raya. Not sure if it is holiday in Singapore or not, but Monday is holiday in Malaysia .

Is 14K SGD pay high for a person below 30?
Permanent Staff but on EP...

Industry: O&G services

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.

Consider high. i been working for SBM FPSO Kikeh project and Nobile Drilling in IT field for the past 3 years. salary so so. maybe crappo can clarify?

If he's office based, yes. Goes out onsite, no. Goes offshore, definitely not.

But whichever it is, 14K at 30... that would put him at top 5% of tax paying salary earners in Singapore.
