Bintan and Batam can use rupiah

Why is that a downside? Don't you need an Indonesian work visa to work in Bintan?

I was hoping for EP visa...so that I can apply PR in future...aih...maybe I should demand for higher pay!

Are you willing to sacrifice every aspect of your social life for S$2.8k?

I was sent to Bintan when I was under the brief employment under a Singaporean company. The thing about Bintan is that while their resorts are generally awesome, the industrial estate is largely undeveloped and smack dab in the middle of nowhere. It takes 45 bloody minutes to travel by car from the resort port to the industrial estate!

There, you will find no shopping malls, no movie theatres, no restaurants, nothing. The closest semblance of civilisation you will find will be some small convenience stores and a nearby village which doesn't even have a proper tar road. I'm not too sure about your accommodation, but I was assigned one of the same hostel rooms that was occupied by the Indonesian operators. FYI, there won't be any fixed Internet connection, so your phone will be your best friend there.

Now you know why I was only 'briefly' employed in that company. They did not mention Bintan at all during the interview or in the contract, and their conduct was pretty unscrupulous, probably because they knew they would have a hard time getting professionals to stick around in Bintan for long. I was sent there on my third week with the company with little warning with an Indian engineer and a Filipino admin staff who were also newly hired, and all of us left by the second week.

If you die die also want to earn that S$2.8k and are willing to surrender your life for it, then go ahead. Otherwise, I am positive that there are plenty of better opportunities in Singapore. You just have to look hard enough.

Edit : If you want to get into the OnG industry, FMC Technologies is hiring graduate engineers a while back. Why don't you try applying there?

a pup joint needs 3 to 4 person to handle
a API range 2 to range 3 length pipe needs the same 3 to 4 persons
a workstation which requires 1 person only which is sufficient, there needs 3 to 4 persons... how lavishly the labour & low range the pricing there.

in s'pore/malaysia an automated load station + crane + 1 person is enough.
1 workstation, 1 person is more than enough.

*Pls. be extra careful with certain s'pore employers, many hiccups.




the mnc is great as projecting with the name but the internal system there most of the great people at there had left which built the name.

You want to be an Indonesian PR?

even my friend has emailed my resume and forward it to the HR recruitment officer. HR recruiter has the power to call intervee to attend the interview. sucks even not managed the tests at Pwc.

At kpmg I failed the interview after I told I have cousin there. I think big 4 don't accept family working there.

at the MNC now, until now I don't know who was the decision maker who hired me, I think my Finance Manager got the power> the HR manager. It's not about who you know, but how much they need you.

sorry, it's forbes 1500 list since it is european MNC.

so u r getting a imta?

so that means u r paid in sgd equivelent but by the indo company? that means u r a taxable resident... and do u know their income tax rate? and worse of all you have to declare your global income to the indo gov and in certain situations the income overseas is also taxable no one in my company wants to hold a imta, especially the directors.. cause later kena tax gao gao.. but since ur a freshie i dbout u have other incomes

The company is shifting the operation to indonesia to cut cost...so I will transferred to there

imta = izin memperkerjakan tenagakerja asing... lol, ur indon e-pass... kakakaka

so u sign employement contract with sg entity or indon entity? ur salary comes from which coy?

if u get 2.8k sgd / month = idr 235 mill p. a.

pajak penghasilan/pph is at 15%... fuiyoh!!!! u r multi millionaire

not worth to accept...

Ya....if the tax is 5% - 30%...I wont wanna accept the job...unless the company absorb my income tax or my income is not subject to tax than I will accept the job

anybody work in sg government ?

Malaysian can enter?

Since you'll be transferred to Indonesia, why would Singapore give you a work permit or PR?

I suspect the Co. is trying to avoid giving out a hefty relocation package for existing staff to move to Indonesia. Employing new ones and relocating them will be a more cost-effective way. The seniors will probably be a ‘helicopter’ team that travel back & fro before the new staff can fully take over the operation independently. That’s just my take.

Ya...Exactly I did not expect them to totally shift the operation to Bintan...so I wont be working at sg...oh well...Now I am rather worry on the income tax...hefty 5%-30% tax by the Indonesian Government on expat...I wonder those expat working at Bintan how do they survive there...5ksgd easily 30%!
