hi guys, how's essential it is for us malaysian working in Singapore to have CPF contribution? does it has similar percentage of contribution and emplyer contribution like malaysia's EPF? how's the standard benefits and medical care,leave etc ( can some1 refer me to any website tht has all this info?) for malaysian working in singapore.
is 2.5k sgd sufficient to live a comfort life in SG and save up? m earning rm6k in Malaysia now, got another job offer from sg where I will join a small branch of an medium european company try to pioneer sg market. can give ur opinion?

2.5k sgd basic and there will be other allowances but wont be too high.
current job rm3k another rm3 k I work on freelance basis during my off work hours thus not stable income....
so wondering is 2.5k consider good in sg?

still thinking of the decision over quitting a basicRM3.6k+ RM1k-3k unstable freelance income job for a SGD 3k(basic +allowance) job with better prospect but slightly shifted out from my current profession, Clinical health(physiotherapist) shifting to sales+training..
what's your thought guys?

hey guys,
the company from SG offer me SGD2.5k +500 allowance. compared to malaysian company offer rm3620 in total.
claims he can contribute the employer part of CPF for me, at 1st I tot Foreigner like us cant get CPF but he told me it's optional so it's actually can and told me it's better to have CPF contribution....
may I know how much is the % of employer and employee contribution and what's the pro and cons as I read some1 post it will depreciate through inflation....

thanks guys, will clarify with him.
he did mention cpf contribution so I'm not too sure also...
anyway, what he said is tat he havent got the permission from the big boss from Europe to approve the position's vacancy yet, which mean i cant apply for the position yet...will probably take up the offer from malaysian company.

how long usually it wil take for the employement pass to get approved through and besides that, is there anything that will be an obstacle for employment of malaysian to singapore?
what is the fastest time an employment process (including s-pass etc) can get through if both employee and employer agree on terms?
