Dunno it's the right place to post or not. Few years ago there was a controversy issue regarding the land in Tanjung pagar or some where else in Singapore between both Singapore and malaysian government. Malaysian government deliberately squeezed Singapore wanting to re-take back the land. Legally the land still belong to Keretapi Tanah Melayu (KTM) because when British left Malaya, they subdivided the land in Singapore and gave a big portion of Singapore land to KTM.
Does anyone knows about this issue and latest news?

I oso know if there's conflict, Malaysia always use the water issue and threaten to shut the tap to squeeze Singapore. Anyone knows the latest update?

If you don't mind, you can share the info here.

Some past history to share. During WW2, Singapore was the first state under Malaya that surrendered to Japanese because those Japanese off the tap in Johor to disconnect the water supply to Singapore.....habis lah!

in my opinion, the reason that MY is willing to let go Tanjung Pagar's land is to capture Singapore investors for Iskandar development. it's likely other investors are more convinced if Singapore takes the first step due to its brand name.

is Singapore still being pulled by the water issue? by now, i reckon they should have seek alternative sources from neighboring countries such as Indonesia.

my colleagues said that you can only get refunded (part of the 15%)
when you left the company.

i.e you cannot get the overpaid money as long as you are still working with the same company. anybody can confirm this?

what do you mean by overpaid money? i also paid 15% when i failed to comply with 183 days requirement when i changed company. now waiting for 183th day to pass in order to request for refund from IRAS.

a) unlikely to be an experienced hire but you will stand out for the entry level positions.
b) it's always an advantage to have related experience no matter where you are. if you plan to do management accounts in commercial, proficiency in accounting software will give you an edge over the rest but it's not mandated.
c) from my observation, it's only slower growth.
