Guys,
My friend got a job offer in SG in a bank. One of  her pre-joining question checklist things ask:
"Are you currently engaged in any other business either as a director, proprietor, partner, officer, trustee, employee, agent or otherwise locally and overseas?"
What's the implication of the bank asking this kind of question ah? He got directorship in his father's company in Malaysia (with director fee) but he is 100% sleeping one, don't even get paid, just that the family use his name to be director and get director fee for money for the family expenses etc.
*
just like what crazy said.. conflict of interest if she's a investment analyst / back room in charge of approving corp loans / risk management / private equity / other forms of back room investment

another reason is liability.. being all those above irregardless of sleeping or not there's a obligation.. and this affect the person's standing in representing the bank..

directorship no sleeping 1 la.. once u r named a director and name is listed in the register of directors of the company.. then you have a legal obligation to uphold your http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directors'_duties .... can masuk jail 1... unless of course he/she holds the title 'director' but not listed in the M&A / register then no prob la.. that 1 retard title only

Anyone here with a Malaysian passport that starts with "H"?
Wat does it means?

My passport was all the while start with "A" until it was damaged one day. Then wen I got the replaced passport it started with H.
Then I just recently renewed it (as it was expiring), it's still starts with H.
I tried to google it, but no answer, except that for those old Malaysian IC, H means he/she is from Sabah. Ironically I was born in Sabah oso.

So does the H means I was born in Sabah, or it is to show that my passport was damaged before, or any other reason? Maybe a sabahan here can tell with me which alphabet your passport  starts with?

Sorry, not sure under which sub-forum to ask the question above, but I suppose everyone here uses their passport frequently, so I post my question here.
*
H are for ppl previously convicted with child molestation/harassment/rape/abuse... better contact immigration and sought things out fast!!!

Just went to a recruiter for interview today, that c*bet say my pay so high already, hard to find another job, this la that la, i got no qualification la. arghh..
really feeling like giving her a slap in the face, she say even diploma holder gets around $1.6-$1.8k only.

anyway, to those that will be going for interview, stay firm on what u are asking for. there is always people that will think u are worth that much.
*
u tell her fresh dip holder is 1.6-1.8... but you're experience nearing management level already... she so stupid didnt take into account of work exp meh?

nvm la... get job = get pr = later quit = profits!

Just a side: Hows the experience with the Singaporean employers with respect to accepting Malaysian Trained university graduates?

Do they accept them without question or it depends on which institution they are from?

Just wondering because i have found local engineering graduates to be sub par compared with oversea trained ones
*
my company accepts lots of msian uni grads... where they are from determines how much they get... sometimes as high as 40% difference.. well, i cant comment on msian uni/overseas grad but i can comment msians vs sg... a lot of times i find msian grads (both msia uni & overseas) are inferior to sg poly grads at times.. especially work ethics

Hi all, is me again....
I now looking rent a room @ Bedok Reservoir Road near kaki bukit industrial park 2.

I online search found that common room cost sgd 700. expenses utilities bill is share among 4 pax.

Just want to ask is it good deal?
how much normally utility bill cost "normally" electrical bill and water bill?
*
if 700 with all tenants then ok, if it is with landlord... then no

LOL my friend was holding M'sia and SG passport so at 21 she had to give up one, guess which one she gave up (no prize for guessing right)? She had to go don't know how many offices in M'sia (got referred here and there) in order to renounce citizenship plus she referred to an address on a website and was told they moved 3 years ago -.-"

Lucky you smile.gif
