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.

I understand his advise. My last sentence is hint. I'm not single! I'm a single mother! I can't stop work for study. Understand? Ohmy.. I don't like to say this in public.

Oh...I did not got your hidden meaning earlier....my apologies.   
But I meant the professional certifications...those are mostly part time (I dun think there are ppl who resign from their job to study those paper    )
You can choose those which are more flexible for your time (probably just 1 or 2 nites on weekdays for 3 months?).
I understand the kid comes first.

guys, need help.. do i have to pay for CPF? or i need to apply to cut my salary for CPF? one more thing abt the tax.. i know i have to pay tax.. but we have to make our cut personally to IRAS or the HR will take care of that one?

CPF only for PR and SC (Singapore Citizens).

Tax-wise there is no auto deduction like Malaysia's PCB. You get ALL your salary every month. Next year April you have to file, calculate and pay the entire year's tax, either in lump sum or in installments.

Thank you replying deo..  So CPF only i need to pay if i apply for PR? then only they will cut my salary into CPF rite?

Tax.. so during 2012 this year.. i no need to pay anything? i get the full payment over this year.. but next year april i have to pay the tax based on which year? 2012 or 2013?

ohh btw.. if i apply for PR what benefits that i get?

i have so much question coz i have to do some costing before accepting the offer. the living expenses in SG after i study is quite high compare malaysia especially on renting a room. daymm. they ask me to start in March. 

Previous year. So in April 2013 you're paying the tax due for the entire year of 2012.

Oh and, how long does it usually take to get the approval from MOM?
