If your Masters is not in a very, very technical area - very, very few companies will pay more for it if you don't come with work experience.

SGD$2.5k is a bit low right ?

the local fresh grad bachelor degree are asking for close to SGD3k....or some of them even insist of SGD3k min!!

it is about how desperate the degree of a company needs you. the demand of such master degree is there in a specify industry? are you competitive enough to fight with those fresh grad?
anyone also can have master from any university nowadays.

You shall mandatory ask yourself are you in the Skills-in-demand?
Skills-in-demand

any foreign labour that are more competitive or local singaporeans can substitute your vacancies.

few years ago, was conducting interviews together with a senior colleague when happened to be at Labuan for some production issues in plant.
a bank manager also came to apply machinist/operator/sales. was wondering what was wrong? even a IT grad from Philippines also applying same vacancies.
both of them not even specify which posting they were applying. just put all 3 postings.

pls. be very sure of what is your focus direction. targeting to a small?medium?big?mnc company?, which suits your qualification. sometimes, people give face so mentioning "you're over-qualified for the job".

just wanna ask you to re-read back --> Skills-in-demand after reading above few sentences. not to discourage you. anyhow, you still can try and who knows a company is in urgent need replacement.

that's a minus coz Sg is quietly reducing workers from East Malaysia.

hey there, i am from sarawak too, now working in singapore. During my job hunt, i do feel that east malaysians are having hard time getting a job in singapore.

I just work for like 2 years. But for tat 2 years, it is tough for me to get a job. Unlike west Malaysia, u can send resume from west malaysia then come singapore for interview. But for me, no matter how much resume i send out from east malaysia, i just dont get a reply until i decide to come to singapore to actually look for job there.

I feel it's not our East Malaysians who are the issue. But the millions of "new" ones ie. the Muslim/Malay Filipinas and Indons given ICs and passports by the govt to dilute the non-Malay, non-Muslim majority there. Just my hunch, but I think the SG govt got a lot of redflags for extremist or radical links when they finally ran detail screening on them. So they blacklisted the entire geography.
In your application, I'd reckon you should be very detailed on your background and family history (ideally Chinese, non-Muslim, mainstream educated).

it took me 2 months just to land on a job. Because my friend advice me to go singapore hunt for job rather than sending resume from sarawak.
Also, for sure Malaysian chinese will have a better opportunity to get a job.

No, if someone recommends you directly, ur chance for an interview will be increased tremendously.

but I am not accepted at Pwc although I have someone there(s1) and the HR recruitment is from my univ.

I am not accepted at KPMG although my cousin is working there.

I am accepted by 1500 fortune MNC and work as project cost controller although I am a fresh grad and without knowing anyone there and they have to wait me for 2 months due to I was sending for project in other towns and need to serve 1 month notice..

dun believe what other says unless I am experiencing myself.

Would I safe to judge that it's higher chance to actually go sg and stay foe some time to search for jobs.

My suggestion is this....
Find a job locally and start gaining experience. Over the period, continue to update your resume and continue sending.  You might get lots of rejection and unsuccessful interviews but keep trying. Also, from my personal experience, going for interview is also considered as an experience itself.  You will need to fine tune your answer and I believe with a lot of effort, you will be there. 

Also, based on my experience, normally the HR consulting firm will side the company instead of the candidate. So maybe you can start to work from that angle.  No worry, I think you are ahead of a lot of people who just wish but do not try.  Job hunting is a lot of hard work.....
