QUOTE(nightzstar @ Dec 13 2011, 01:13 AM) May i know the differences between wages and salary? Wages is paid per hour while salary paid per day? yeaps... but i think what they will do is to pay your a minimum salary for a minimum hours of work per week so they can secure you a workpass... then the rest is OT paid by the hour |

QUOTE(Materazzi @ Dec 18 2011, 10:27 AM) sorry, if I quoted the wrong person. where can compare food court with makanan jalanan leh... food court so far nvr lau sai... even restaurant in indo you can lausaiWill you eat restaurant food every day when you are in singapore? compare apple to apple la if you eat at food court better compare with makanan jalanan. However, you said you choose the country where you and your family will feel secure. But why do you leave your family in Malaysia? Which one is better, live with family in malaysia or live alone in Singapore? of course sometimes gotta do some comparison lor... if i stay in msia, i will have to protect my family in msia... 1 guy cant make much of a diff if i work here, then they have to take care of themselves until i can find enough resources to bring them all to sg lor.. QUOTE(IEE @ Dec 18 2011, 10:57 AM) given 2 choices below, which one will u choose errrmmm i would say this is a border line case... for the younger ones i would say sg, if you're pass 30 them maybe msiaA -working in Singapore MNC(SOUTH), IT field -salary SGD2K+ -rent own room -working distance- 10 minutes by bus B -Working in Malaysia MNC (CBJ), IT field -salary RM4K+ -working distance -1h by car,can rent room near working location, but additional expenses -stay with parent -buy own car, fuel, tax, maintenance, depreciation, is around RM1K per month QUOTE(Jurlique @ Dec 18 2011, 11:33 AM) I dunno why so many of you fussing about the MRT disruptions days ago. ppl's expectation are diff already.. if u expect it to work 99% of the time and suddenly so many disruptions, you will get angry...I must say MRT in Singapore is still very reliable and efficient. How often you see MRT breakdowns in Singapore vs LRT breakdowns in KL? In KL, it is even worst... 1) 15-20 mins frequency 2) banana skins on LRT seats and damn kao dirty 3) LRT stations too packed 4) LRT with only 2 coaches? (those AMNO ppl have no brains one.. no thoughts of sustainability of increased commuters during peak hours) 5) At Tasik Selatan station, 3 LRT tracks with 3 different LRT/KTM companies... (Which sohai thought of this idea?) SO, SG MRT is still very good, clean and efficient. You cannot expect any MRT in the world to work 100% without breakdown for 24/7/365. So, dont shouting and screaming here and there about the low quality of SG-MRT. Go try the KL KTM or LRT or KL public bus, then you know. This is what Chinese says about 生在福中不知福. but like in msia so unreliable, ppl already expect it to be like that... and it is always of BN/amno to get the blame.. |

The cost of driving and taxis can be driven so high only IN EXCHANGE for a flawless public transport system. That is the implicit deal the govt has with the public. Any PROLONGED failure of a transport system with no alternative is unacceptable. i agree with you, someone commented that transportation is just as important as the military...And no... buses are not alternatives. There are part of the overall transport system of which the MRT is the backbone. The MRT fails, the whole system fails. |
