Thanks for all replies. Another reason to get PR is easier to get job is SG?
If I plan to work here around 5 years, then its not recommended to apply PR?

cpf is extremely useful if you plan to purchase a HDB apartment.

Any idea what consist of 'attractive industries'? IT, Engineering?  Just curious...

Correct. That why the BIG assumption there.
If making $$ is that easy, we would be living in heaven.

Any members here owning a SG car?

Can share what car you got? and how's the installment and downpayment like?, HDB parking rates???, annual roadtax how much? which petrol you pump, SPC, shell, or Mobil?

I heard shell got $10 rebate for every $50 you pump...

hehehe, diff is the 1.4 twincharger is not just turbo... there's super charging as well... therefore doesnt mean all the power have to come from spooling the turbo.. usually above certain rpm the super charger turns off and the turbo kicks in... but i believe you can keep the super charger on all the way    gearbox no prob... both the 6-speed and 7-speed dsg can take those power, brakes? just change to ceramic pads lor... caliper still can take it...

dont need change intercooler/radiator/oil cooler/ water pump/ oil pump... usually only trucks or rally cars need this as their turbo is always kicking in

stage 2 chip i think around sgd 1.1k, but can get it done cheaper in msia...

cousin did it to his jetta, but his is the stock model that comes with 170bhp already

different mang. mobile broadband you can use it for google maps to search driving, bus and train directions, etc etc. ~$11 per day is nothing, I'll gladly pay that amount to have that kind of convenience when you're on holiday in a foreign place.

any ideas how much of an average MNC manager earns in Singapore? (IT line)

Hi r1v3r,
Read ur posting few times and I still don't know what u trying to tell me. I googled edi and can't find the answer that's y I post here.
Please share with me if u know what is power to brake ratio.
Thank you

eh ... nolah the abalone was real. just ... very small. the 'possibly fake' part was just referring to the sharks fin; nowadays restaurants like to use these 'vegetarian' ones.

That's too broad a question.

IT managers in banks earn more than their counterparts in say, logistic MNCs. 

A VP (manager rank equivalent) in a foreign bank in Singapore pulls in around SGD150k - 200k per annum (excluding bonuses).

Hi All,
After 4 weeks of long wait for my EP appeal, i finally received the result today. EP application appeal rejected. yet with no reason given.

hi guys, does anyone know where to report landlord if the landlord tries to breach contract in terms of notice period?
The notice period is 1 month till mid september and I have paid rental until then. How to complain the landlord who tries to get tenant out of the house with tons of accuse and lies? Agent is engaged but she took agent fee and gone with the wind already.

if she tried to accuse me of doing something and want to throw my stuff out of the house, then brought visitor to view my room when I was not at home, is that crime or dispute?
Now I everyday take photo as proof. and I did remind her must grant my permission before bringing other tenant to see the room when I am not home and she agreed (She used to do it when i went to see the room, got record already ), but I found out she did that again.

i think 1 month commission from landlord. he said he only gets agent fee from landlord side not tenant.

singaporean. There might be some reasons they r willing to pay that much i have yet to find out but whatever it is, as long as i can breath in that house, i untung
but i bet this agent can hardly get business opportunity from landlord.

6 months lease. ok for me. and the unit is quite nice compared to the current one. no limit aircon/washing/cooking, can use fridge, big room, queen bed size, own big bathroom, the house is newly painted. i cant think of anything else i need. the family is friendly perhaps they were just being fake, but if i have to be paranoid, then i must live under bridge already.

If only one agent representing both landlord and tenant, landlord pays entire fee mah, no meh?

I thought this double fee thing is normally cos there are two agents, one representing tenant, one prepresenting landlord?

I don't know what kind of job status MOM would send to me, hope that could give me some guides of securing a job in Singapore. And damn, I need to serve 3-month notice for my current job if I tender my resignation...XD

Bad, I need job in between one

yea. at first i felt the same then just went and see first. the agent got asked the landlord to show their doc proves that they own the unit which my previous agent did not.
the family looks really friendly(but my landlord also acted nice when i view the room). will explore once i move in next month.

but I am kind of lazy of walking out from my comfortzone now, anyway will try to apply Sg jobs again this week from jobsdb, jobstreet and efinancier.
