Yes, but bear in mind that once the extract is generated, the JPJ officer may terminate your license in his system too.

So, it's called "slip catatan lesen trafik"? I had asked for a "surat" to give to Sg traffic police to get Sg licence. And they came back (both times) saying that they needed to blacklist my licence.

U went to JPJ in JB? Better u go to JPJ in some kampung areas. U might get yourself lucky sometimes for not being blacklisted.

How much is it at Comex?

Malaysia is always cheaper off the shelf without plan, if you don't have a special deal/price in SG. I bought my SGSII in Ipoh for RM2099 when it was launched. SG was selling it for S$998.

Dunno... I'm used to Samsung's implementation of Android. I haven't seen the Evo 3D's screen, but the SGSII's Super Amoled Plus is pretty hard to beat. My iphone fanboy colleagues turn their iP4s face down at the lunch table. iP3s get put back into their pockets.
*
I have seen the screen display quality for EVO at COMEX, it is very good and bright enough due to using qHD technology vs super AMOLED + from Samsung, but i tend to lean to HTC more due to its HTC Sense offering.

and HTC also have larger resolution compare to the SGS2. But no doubt, both phones are high tech phones rite now in the market.

Samsung S2 is selling at around SGD775 at Far East Plaza without contract.

You can check out at Mobilesquare.sg or Whymobile.

Both of them have shops in Far east plaza and selling at the same price as what is shown on their web.

All originals.

Wah, the prices they quoted is really exceptionally cheap.
I wonder are those refurbished new sets? anybody ever bought from these shops before?

Then your decision becomes clearer. Since you insist on financing so many liabilities if you come to SG, then the job in SG must simply pay you enough to do that. It's now a straightforward mathematical decision. Just do a P&L over the next 3 or 5 years etc for the SG options you receive.
*
Wah, ur advice is very accountant leh, ie to budget a P/L for next 3-5 years... are u an accountant? There are many more non-monetary factors to consider as well... such as you might be leaving your loving pet dog (which cannot be valued just using a P/L)...

For me, if SG pays me well and I am satisfied with my salary, then no need think, straight come over to SG and work (despite leaving my pet dog in KL as I can always compensate by buying my pet dog a bucket of fresh KFC or fresh char siew to my pet dog whenever I return to KL once in a while).

To be honest, to join these kind of companies, u need to have some sort of relationship to the staff in there. Either the Finance Manager or Financial Controller knows your performance and attitude or your ex-peer/ex-classmate is your best friend who will recommends you directly.

Otherwise, it will be really really difficult to join these sort of companies. At many of times, I see many applicants only manage to secure a position into a public listed company (not even the 30 Constituents Companies in the STI) or just a SME (especially those 1st timer Malaysians coming to Singapore to earn a living).

It is like striking a Special price in 4D if you are able to join a MNC and a 1st prize in 4D if you are able to join Google, Facebook Inc, Shell, ExxonMobil, SPC, MAS etc.

I don't believe so.

They are quite clear on the profile of who they want. Most companies are much less descriptive with their JDs:

1. You are a top academic performer seantang: You should have a first class, distinction degree, scholarship etc. Something tangible that details your grades vs your cohort

2. with a wide variety of extracurricular interests and seantang: King scout, accomplished writer, state/national level sportsperson, actor, debater etc

3. the desire to excel in everything you do. seantang: IMHO, is how often you got promoted or increased responsibility in your previous work

4. can "crunch the numbers" one minute seantang: show technical experience

5. critically think through strategic issues.seantang: show business partnering experience

6. At least 3 years of analytical work experience, in consulting, investment banking or equivalent.seantang: already tells you exactly which sector they are looking to source from

7. Superior Microsoft Excel modeling skills (pivot tables, macros etc.) together with strong database experience (e.g. SQL, MS Access etc.)seantang: already tells you the exact technical skills they want

IMHO, even if you know someone there, if your profile doesn't check off most of these tick boxes, you're not going to get in. On the other hand, if you don't know anyone but can check off most or all of these, you will get an interview.
*
No, if someone recommends you directly, ur chance for an interview will be increased tremendously.

You might fullfill all criterias above but no one knows your attitude, so to gauge an individual's attitude, the best is a recommendation by your former superior who was currently working in Google and he/she may know how suitable are you since both of you have been working together previously.

PLUS: You wouldn't know that HR may needs to process up to 40 resumes a day for these kind of positions in this kind of well-known companies.
