all school in SG have their website, help you to locate their webpage for working adults here :

1) Special run of courses

2) Regular advance course

I think with the student card you should be able to access their gym, sport facilities etc... good luck.

Some CNY good news copied from the Work in Australia thread


Disagree. Your posting style belongs in /k/ and nowhere else in LYN.


Well, eventually in your career you will hit a wall where you will find see that your lack of a degree is an unacceptable disadvantage. Either from managers discriminating against you because of lack of paper; or from competition from other candidates that are as good as (or almost as good as) you but have paper qualifications. So the question then is, are you going to try overcome this disadvantage earlier when you're single and have not much commitments, vs 10 years from now when you're raising 2 kids?

Mod chong for jor.. I takut.

Actually, I have many malaysian friends here who work and study long distance at the same time. Some working in the biggest banks here and some in manufacturing. It is good to upgrade to at least a diploma or a degree. When you reach 40yo, in SG can be considered redundant to some companies here.

So, just work hard for first few years and earn as much as you can. I already paid off my 5 room HDB. If I come back to malaysia, I can shake legs. But, money is good. It is an addiction. Just work and enjoy life here. Nothing to loose.

In SG, as long as you work reasonably, you should be able to own your home in 10-15 years. Clear your CPF early so that you don't have to incur interest. Anyway, special account in CPF give 4% also. So, you decide which is better. For my case, once my CPF is gemuk, I clear it. So, I look more handsome mah.

If possible go for 5 rooms, unless if you feel you cannot afford, then go for 4 or 3 rooms. With 5 rooms, more spacious. Condos also smaller here. Like living in a pigeon hole. Also, better get citizenship as they have subsidy and grants. Nothing to loose coz your cpf is going to be tied up till you die. Unless you say, you won't work in sg anymore. East Malaysians can withdraw CPF tho.

Again, once you settle and have kids; you can consider yourself a sinkaporean la... cannot escape one lah. So many of my friends already converted. Life is good being a first class citizen.

Worst come to worst, drive taxi here or be a security guard when you are old. Simple life. Boleh??

I can see many packing their bags liao... even mod and deodorant also.

considering is it worth to left msia.. hahah. btw afraid if them kaw2 hamtamm me coz no allowance.

The pay can be negotiated one mah.. If you work hard, and the company is doing well; they should reward you one lah. No worries. I just got 3 months bonus shaking legs. See, I am making mod crazy here. lol.

And also, once you are not happy, just apply for another job lor. Most companies welcome Malaysian one la. Malaysians are known to be humble, hardworking and friendly. Same slang as locals. Boleh malaysia??

Mod want to do spring cleaning on the forum la.. thats why need 3 days to shutdown server. lol. just kidding, just kidding.. aha.. I am more active on badminton forum la... tks.

i believe alot will come to this crossroad, like me, soon have to decide

i see the comment alot people also happy to quit singapore

Yes, I agree a lot of them leave. Same goes to every country. I think Msia is more.

This chap is lucky lor. He went off earlier, so during that time more opportunities for jobs. Now, not so easy lah. But still not impossible if you got good experience and attitude.

Like I say, people come and go. Is SG, if you are a Singaporean, you cannot die one lah; as long as you got legs and arms to do something. Now, the govt is more proactive in protecting their people. If you really bankrupt, they have ways to support you. Just see the MP.

Damit, maybe I shd charge sg garmen for upselling them. lol. This is from experience perspective ya. No right or wrong about it.

Hi everyone, MOM has increased the minimum salary requirement for E and S pass. I received a job offer of $1800 monthly salary which is 200 less than the MOM salary requirement for s pass. so i was just wondering if i should apply for work permit instead? has anyone of you managed to get approval for s pass even though you're getting less than the $2000 requirement?

This post has been edited by Debuantu: Jan 17 2012, 05:18 PM

applying for which pass is not your choice, its your employer that is choosing for you. i manage to get an EP even my pay doesn't hit the required ceiling.
leave it to your employer to decide what pass they are going to apply for you.

The salary requirement is just a guideline.
Not entirely based just on salary, there are other criterias but salary is the easiest to draw the line.
your employer will be the 1 who will be applying the work pass for you...so no need to worry about such things.

I feel like watching live telematch of extreme tomyam cup male single final on the planet nearest to the Sun..

I am going to take a week long CNY break, good luck to the two finalist.

May the force (mod) be with you!

Really? Phiew... I thought it's a must to met the salary requirement. I know my employer will be doing it for me but I was just worrying my application may be rejected due to not meeting the salary requirement. Thanks for the reply anyway.

Hi guys, Need some advice.

I'm going to quit my job at the moment to look for one in Singapore.

I have tried applying through jobstreet and stuff but seems like not much replies as I have to serve a two months notice.

I'm in the IT line and have been working for the past one year only. Still quite fresh. What are my chances of getting a job there?

Erm actually all d company I've work with never see my cert or paper before. They just interview, talked, and straight apply online for my wp. And they never look any of my cert. they just look my online resume I sent to them. Yes I agree paper mean a lot for working. But I can't. I'm single but not available and I didn't mention I have one kid to raise.

If the company wants you, they will appeal or apply another type of pass for u.
So in the end, this is still out of your control so worrying about it won't help.
Just follow the flow (i know, easier said than done )


Personally, I think you should continue on with your job and continue applying.
Unless you have some sort of deadline to get here, i won't recommend quiting and jumping over.
It definitely helps in getting a job if you stay in Sg, but what if it takes a bit longer than expected.
The cost will burn a hole in your pocket when you have no income.


i think rexona meant - probably in 10 years time, you will be married and have 2 kids.
when would be a better time to start studying part time (now or the 10 years later scenario).
maybe no need for degree or diploma.
how abt specialized skills or professional certifications?
they should be in shorter terms.
I suppose those will help if you do not want the diploma / degree.

Sound like your paper is redendant for your previous jobs.

If there is a will, there is a way or should I say if you can suft LNY you sure can do a part-time course.

other than our first full time diploma, me and my wife completed a few paper while holding a full time jobs. When kids are around then we take turn to study. I will study for fun after her part-time master.
