Well, second link will have a lot less traffic. Depending on where you stay. Do take into consideration the jam within JB as well especially if you hit Jalan Tebrau or The Tun Razak Highway. From Singapore too, it depend on where you work or where you want to park your car.

2 week to get the new stock of white card...

Maybe this "promo" applicable only for 2 weeks ?

If you were a director earning $30K or more a month, would you tolerate driving anything less?

also depends wat time need to reach office.

Now they are working on the MACS system. Also I have a bad feeling that they will also toll us when we enter Singapore. They have setup the Touch and Go system there. So maybe now we have to pay double. Somehow I think Malaysian govt found out that it's a profitable business to tax us.

with that pay i'd consider bmw n merc as the 'less' group already
except fo some higher echelon type/model

Depends... imho, richer Singaporeans typically want to spend less on cars (as a % of their income) than Malaysians. So even though they might earn $350-400K a year, it doesn't mean they want a car that's also worth $350-400K. Most of them will probably buy a car around $150-200K.

Contrast that to Malaysians, where it's natural for freshies who earn RM25K a year to buy a car worth RM40K. I was one of them... I was barely earning RM50K a year in KL, and I spent RM80K on my first car. Then you get people earning RM10K a month (RM120K a year, maybe RM150K including bonus) suddenly thinking they can afford a RM300K Evo, 320i or C-Class.

I am not sure what time u commute, like i say, most of the time, the causeway is clear from traffic. If you stay in Taman Pelangi, you can elave your house at 8am if u start work 9am.
Unless those lorries clog the causeway, then different story. as for 2nd link, not really sure. the actual time taken to queue on the immigration is less than 15 mins. just the time taken to travel from your home to causeway and causeway to office will eat up some time. now i am taking bike daily, i spend around 20 mins on the queue. Car is faster (confirm because i drove in before). if i work in Woodlands and i stay in Taman Pelangi, i can leave my house 30 mins before work and i confirm won't be late (unless immigration system down).

2nd link is freaking expensive. RM15 + $6.40 + $20 a day. that is around $35 per day on toll alone. not to mention the long 2nd link which is far from city.

I thought once you are director, company will provide you a car. they will reimburse the fuel, erp, parking too

Are you related to the other TS who posted a thread to ask at what job level the company will provide house, gardener, car, driver and pay for utilities as well?

It's about cash. It's always only about cash. If they pay you enough, you can buy your own car, pay for your own fuel, ERP and parking too. You do realise that if they give you a car, they will take it out of your salary and bonus, right?

how to save 2.8k if you have gf?How to get a decent job if you only have bachelor degree? how to get high paid job if gov restrict the foreigners?

I won't know unless I get to feel how is it like to take home $30k per month Thanks for sharing! If not I'll never imagine a company will pay so much for their employees' car. This tiny island is simply amazing.

Taman Pelangi sounds nice. Rental there are cheap but with high crime rates Thanks for sharing! My home is at Kulai which they have built 1 highway to link to 2nd-link. The road has not opened yet, but I expect it will take around 30 mins to travel to 2nd-link if the traffic is smooth. Houses here used to be cheap but recently went up damn quite lot with the Iskandar Region developments

Well traveling by Causeway will costs around $25 as well. So it is $10 more to travel by 2nd-link. I'll pay if it can save time.

How do you define a decent job?

my friend got $900 car allowance, i tot that was not bad.. who knows its below market rate...

$900.. around 10k+ a year... thats a lot leh... enough to buy a car with depreciation of 6k a year and the rest for maintenance and insurance

1st half of the film does charm you. However once the wedding and honeymoon ends, Breaking Dawn ceases to be the beautiful fantasy Twilight film you so thoroughly fancy. It changes track and ends up as a spooky tragic dull drama.

Who ask you to get a high maintenance gf with a 2.8k salary? more to the point, HOW do you maange to get a gf with a 2.8k pay knowing well Singaporean (and Malaysian) girls would NOT want a bf who is only earning 2.8k a month.....

its savings la... not income la... read properly... hayar, total income around sgd 2k should be enough already

frankly speaking, am 1 of them. if i come back m'sia to work, i wont get the pay same as in sg.

The Singapore govt does not restrict foreigners from high paying jobs. Where did you get that from?

i second you.
for a m'sia auto SA, u get basic+OT+laundry allowance+outstation allowance :all add in around RM2800-3200.
for s'pore auto SA, u get basic+OT+laundry allowance+incentive(comm ) : all add in around sgd2800-4000. Frankly speaking, the comm alone will be more than you basic pay if you are workaholic.
