One more thing i realise is that its quite pointless to apply through jobstreet, jobsdb or those website coz 99% of them are ads placed by recruitment agencies. These agencies will the you all the crap about how "you don't have SG experience" and try to lower yr pay expectation. Also these "head hunters" mostly lie and/or hard sell their clients to you which might not be what yr looking for or might not be a fit.

I say since yr from IB, use yr contacts to get a job in SG. I'm sure some of yr collegue or bosses know someone who lknows someone else who works in SG. Use that instead. At least you get a fair deal.

Old dogs not learning new tricks are excuses.

It's better off for him to remain in KL as he can't cut it in a more dynamic environment.

Which is why Malaysia remains a 3rd world backwater as it's filled with people like them.

No. Absolutely wrong. That only applies to his friend. Malaysians are the most adaptable people on the face of the earth. Even I, who don't speak a word of mandarin in KL is now working in a very chinese speaking environment. You adapt and learn the language, fullstop. Now i speak conversational mandarin. There are so many more like me.....

He also have problem communicate with those indian and malays and even chinese who dont speak English. Probably he can speak Bahasa lar with them.

Adaptable Malaysians mostly work and reside OUTSIDE of Malaysia.

Hence, the majority of working Malaysians in Malaysia remain in their stagnant state.

EPEC no need sponsor. Just need to go online and apply for your 1-year LTVP (long term visit pass), choose the EPEC option, upload your documents, wait 2-3 weeks. Then you will get your IPA for the LTVP with which you make online appointment to go get your 1-year validity LTVP card.

[edit] any of you guys know if the 6-months validity on passport applies for us WP holders?

Actually, to be fair to them, I wouldn't use that degratory remarks on them. I spoke to a few of them (single, gorgeous looking singaporean women) and while yes, they do try very hard to "hook" rich guys but in their perspective, its only fair. I mean every girl irregardless of nationality would want a husband/bf who have the means to give them a good life, right?

Put yrself in their shoes. i mean if yr a stunningly gorgeous girl, why in the world would you settle for some mediorcre guy when you can get a prince. Love and all that only last for so long. After you are married for 10-15 years, all the "love" will start to fade and reality will set in i.e. is there enough money for kids, tuition, electricity, food, rent, etc. If you married a rich guy at least you don't worry about all these mundane things. And SG is not a cheap country to live in. SO in a way i don't blame them. I can only strive to make myself and my family a better living.

It's all about the money. Let's sing along with Jessie J's Price Tag.

Nothing wrong with wanting to marry a rich man if the lady is young and attractive.

It only becomes ridiculous when plain jane women insist on having a rich and handsome husband when they are way off the mark by their own standards.

I have a housemate who managed to go to johor and back with less than 6 months validity on his passport.
PS: Do on your own risk.

IT is nothing wrong for wanting someone who is better, rich, handsome and single. It is not degratory statement as they are mostly materialistics women out there if compare to plain kampung gals. So, in Singapore, it is more such women out there (percentage wise).

Mind to explain more on single or multiple entries? From my understanding, single entry means I can only enter Sg 1 time with the visa, and next time the visa can no longer being used even it is not expired, whereby multiple entries mean I could enter Sg as many times as I could within the permitted period.

LOL!!! Unfortunaltely these days its all about speculation even to find a mate. When one sees a girl (pretty or not dosen't matter) get a prince, she will also higher her expectation. Kinda like property. When property A is so sellable at say $200 per sq ft, property B which just launch will price itself at $220 and look see if demand is good or not. If it's still good then property C will price at $250 per sqft. and so on and so forth.

Same theory

I have friends working in Sg but most of them are in non-financial field, so I don't really have much close connections who work in banking/financial sector. Of course, I got friend's friends who are working in IB or banks, but since I am not close to them so I would try my effort 1st before I become desparate.

With this theory kicks in, that is why the mariage rate drops so much. Many rather remain single than to sell cheap. However, they argue that they want freedom and no commitment.

I don't want to generalise or stereotype girls from Sg. So I don't really buy in story of friends' friends about sucker babes, unless it comes from whom being sucked .

Thanks for clarification. I think I did not read carefully for how to apply for LTVP. About the online appointment for LTVP, will it be an interview when I go to collect the LTVP card?

Hmmmmmm. Over at the travel&living section there are people saying they could enter with < 6 months as visitor but with some additional steps - apparently a senior immigration officer had to come over and approve his entry. But that is visitor lah ... for WP holders ... dunno whether it applies. My passport validity period is like 8 months now, guess I gotta plan a trip to KL or JB to renew.


Malaysians no need Visa.


No. Once you have the IPA that means is approved liao. You just go and do fingerprinting and collect card.

Unfortunately for properties B,C etc, their owners did not bother to check the condition and location of their own properties. Property A is an Orchard Road penthouse and B, C are 30-year old HDB flats in Woodlands. Even real-life property owners of said places would not be so dumb as to sell their assets at orchard road prices. However, these are delusional women that we are talking about and there are plenty of them in Singapore and Malaysia.

SO i guess yr all for foreign brides? Vietnam? Thai? China these days also very materialistic.....
