QUOTE(kockroach @ Feb 1 2012, 10:38 PM) If your runner get it free then ok, I've read somewhere that they told the JPJ officer that they need the extract to show to employer to work as company driver, instead of telling the JPJ officer that they are converting to Singapore driving license. Another way my friend did is get the extract from JPJ, Malaysia license blacklisted, convert to Singapore license, then get the equivalent extract from TP, show JPJ and they will cut the Singapore license and issue Malaysia license, then go back Singapore, request for new license with SGD50 fee to TP. Let me ask my runner. Like grandfather say "有钱能使鬼推磨". Got money can even make demons work.

QUOTE(kockroach @ Feb 1 2012, 10:52 PM) To check if your Malaysia Licence is blacklisted or not, please click JPJ. Mine was blacklisted, and I think with MyEG we can renew our driving licence, but the licence we get is still under blacklist. Added on February 1, 2012, 10:52 pmExposure. Mine blacklisted liao... So are you holding SG license? Have you try to drive MY car?

When I get the extract from JPJ Johor, the lady officer told me that Singapore license holder can drive Malaysia car. Besides that, I always drive my family owned Malaysia car after I sold my Singapore registered car. The only downside for me not to hold the Malaysia license is the moment those blood sucker saw my Singapore license, they will demand higher kopi duit.

I haven't experience that yet, but I am worry if one day I break the rule I need to pay more kopi duit because of SG license (working in Singapore, better pay) , not because I don't have MY license. Crapp0, can give opinion? Will getting a CWI certificate add value to my resume, because I'm not in QA/Inspection line, but more to project management.

if one does not have experience in welding, the cert is just "paper". better go for API 510/570 which again require welding experience. why don't go to PMP? PMPThis post has been edited by ch_teo: Feb 1 2012, 11:30 PM

PMPNow that I'm not in Oil&Gas, I figure out CWI is more versatile compared to API, also CWI has got subsidize for PR. I always have the perception that PMP is more for IT industry? no?

I have both driving license since a few years ago. I just renew MY license at JPJ counter last Aug, did not change photo so max can renew 3 years. Not black listed at all.
70k COE? Pass, I rather buy a used car that come with much lower Coe. Why should I pay 70k tax when there are people only pay 4k or less for the same thing.

Wat is the benefit of holding both SG and MY driving license at the same time. It is not a requirement anyway and u need to pay both sides money.

Wait until your salary become 30k per month....then, that time, you will say differently. Driving a 2nd hand car is like an insult to you... Long time before, i had said that in the forum that our Malaysia license will not be blacklisted when we do our conversion to Singapore license or during the time when we get the JPJ extract, but there are some who insist that our Malaysia driving license will have to be cut into half and etc.....

QUOTE(icycokes @ Feb 1 2012, 06:41 PM) Just to share my experience with Malaysia High Commision at Jervois Road. I renewed my Malaysian passport 2 weeks ago and it was a breeze! I must say they are quite efficient, comparing to their counterparts back in Malaysia. I arrived at 1120AM and collected my passport within the same day at 2PM. When I collect my passport, I found out that there are approximately 70 people in front of me in the queue line. But the queue moves very fast and I got my passport within 10 mins. So I would guess they need to process like 100 passports everyday? And they did it in 2 hours time! Renewal fee is SGD 124. You can take ID photo there as well for SGD 6. ID photo taken in SG (Usually in white background) is not acceptable. Make sure you arrive before their lunch break (12PM) to submit your application form or else your passport will be ready only on the next day. Let me know if you need more details! that mean SGD124 for 5 years? seem cheaper than renew fee for five years in MY... Correct me if i m wrong

Many high earner can use luxury company car leh, dont need to pay COE.

You only can know more information from them about job openings, chances and etc etc.....but i guess you still have to go to face interview with the eventual hiring companies. But if got leng lui to see in the recruitment agency, i dont mind going there to keypoh keypoh....

But by personally going to their agency company may let them know that ... I'm really interested in this job area, and hope they can help me on this. Even more they will understand my personal education and working background even better. I just worry whether they are okie to "entertain" people like me if I actually go there next Monday.
