does it true that it is getting harder to get a job in sg / apply for EP/S pass in SG now compare to  a year back?
*
i think is easier to get a job now compare to last year
but tougher to get EP since the revise guideline, then again if u meet the criteria, dun see any problem
next year seem to be a question ? i vote for tougher since the economy so uncertain, so myself staying put and not looking for the next 2 year nod.gif
well unless shit happen laugh.gif

in your case the earlier u try the better nod.gif

My bro's GF works till 9-10pm nearly everyday and that the usual workload, when it comes to peak period, she has to work till 12 or later and since she's in a white collar job, she doesnt get OT.

No wonder alot of my frens in executive post are enquiring about my industry since we usually get paid OT as per contract basis as well as hazard pay.

They would usually do their business beforehand or wear adult diapers while ascending due to the amount of time required for the journey to and fro their destination.

I also notice that the gloves they use looks like standard leather gloves which arent that good while your free form climbing at that height.

your job require climbing ? how high u go before ?

19/09/2011 SINGAPORE: A mother who fell to her death with her young daughter from a Bukit Batok flat in April had carried the girl before making the fatal leap, the coroner’s court heard Monday.

In an inquest into the double tragedy, the court heard that the mother, former China national, He Xuejing, had intended to end her own life and took nine—year—old Bao Peiqin with her.

Both fell to their deaths from a 12—storey flat at Block 290B Bukit Batok Street 24 at around 7am on April 15.

Forty—five—year—old Madam He was initially very positive about her move to Singapore almost 15 years ago.

She had no major complaints about her new life here, but her husband, 49—year—old Bao Xiaoming, an A*STAR researcher, recalled that her attitude changed late last year.

He noted that she became more agitated over what appeared to be trivial matters and could sense that she was losing her enthusiasm about living in Singapore.

The Baos, who came from China, obtained their Singapore citizenship in 2003.

But even after nearly 10 years here, Madam He frequently told her husband that their own behaviour and mannerisms were not like native Singaporeans.

Her elder daughter had also overheard her saying that unlike China nationals, Madam He felt that Singaporeans tended to not reveal their feelings and opinions.

Madam He also felt that Peiqin was not welcomed in school and should return to China.

She deliberately did not send her to school one day to see how it would react to her daughter’s absence.

And Madam He arrived at that conclusion after she claimed that staff members there did not call her to enquire about Peiqin.

Investigating officer, Sergeant Russell Lim Fang Yu, told the court that shortly after discovering the bodies, officers went up to the Baos’ flat and noticed that a black chair had been placed beside a wide open bedroom window.

Officers also found three handwritten letters, most probably written by Madam He addressed to her parents, husband and elder daughter.

The court heard that the letters stated that she loved her family members and that she was about to "leave" with Peiqin.

State Coroner Imran Abdul Hamid said that Madam He had unlawfully caused her daughter’s death, adding that Peiqin was a victim of her mother’s "impulsive act".

Both died from multiple injuries and were pronounced dead at the spot at around 8am that day.

Police found the bodies of a dead woman and a young boy floating in Bedok Reservoir this morning at around 7am. They are believed to be the mother and son who were reported missing since Tuesday (Sep 20).

This is the second incident of bodies found in Bedok Reservoir. Earlier this year, a PUB worker discovered the lower half of a Chinese national's body floating in the water.

The two bodies discovered today (Sep 22) are believed to be that of Tan Sze Sze, 32, and her three-year-old son Jerald Chin Le Hui, who were were last seen in Clementi Central on Tuesday morning.

According to a local news broadcaster, both were wearing red tops when their bodies were found in the Reservoir.

Police said they received a call at around 7am today. The pair were pronounced dead about 10 minutes later.

The case has been classified as unnatural death and police are investigating.

STOMPer Evan commented:

"I think there is a trend of dead bodies in Singapore, now after the Chinese man, there is another tragedy.

"I would like to urge Singaporeans to treasure their lives and be careful."

This is the ninth case of dead bodies found floating in waterways and reservoirs in Singapore this year.
