my friend who got retrenched from RIM in december until now still lepak in Kluang still unable to find job.

his entire team got a standard 1 month salary for every year of service. problem was that he only worked there for less than a year. so he only got 1 month

the most f*cked up part about the whole thing was the way he found out about the retrenchment - he turned up for work one day and his access card couldn't access the doors

Me (sort of intermediate) and fiancee (beginner)!

Give you some figures then you decide for yourself whether worth it or not.

Perodua Kenari 1.0 is $80,000. DBS 10-year loan @ 3.50% means you pay $900 a month on installment. Monthly parking at your HDB is $300, so that's already $1200 a month before factoring in ERP (toll), expensive petrol, insurance, maintenance, etc, can easily spend close to $2k/mth on your transport alone.

didn't you already ask this, then a few of us already replied, then you MIA never read the replies and come back ask again?

My fiance = 2 days, Me = 2 weeks.

yameh? lol i not in the market for cars cos i poorfag so i dunno these things, just anyhow google got 3.5% from DBS http://www.dbs.com/sg/personal/loans/auto-loans/default.aspx
and hdb monthly coupon http://www.hdb.gov.sg/fi10/fi10327p.nsf/w/...ocument#Monthly

lol where got, i poorfag can't even afford 2nd hand car. okok 1.88% revise estimate, $80k new car @ 1.88% @ 10 years = $792/mth + $65 parking = $857/mth ... which i can't afford anyway lulz

Those 2nd hand car listing price is including COE or excluding COE? Like if you buy that $16k Kangoo, the COE expire in 2015, no need to pay extra for that 3 years of COE?

[edit] wahlau latest COE prices ... cat a $64k cat b $91k leh ... http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/writeup.php?AID=70

Elite spotted with close to 7k monthly salary

ho ho that means your basic might be 4xxx but after adding in all the allowances, commission, etc etc then it is 7xxx la come come, belanja the rest of us poorfags makan

well if you go to the bank's websites ... for example DBS Esso Platinum card (i just randomly clicked)

lol no. scb has preferred banking (which allows you to apply for world mastercard) and priority banking (which allows you to apply for visa infinite). the primary criteria for getting into preferred / priority banking is 'keep $xxxxx in deposits' or 'have $yyyyy worth of housing loan,' neither of which my poorfag self qualifies for

wah, this one super kena troll liao ...

... so let's say i wanna offer freelance photography, also must do it quiet quiet and don't have my name or any incriminating evidence?

DBS/posb got the most ATM around town but also their ATM always got long queue one ha ha. singapore credit cards interest rate damn expensive one, should always pay every month in full. poorfag or richfag also good to have a couple cards for convenience + dining privileges.


no spamming please.

USA release date is May 4

Quite a number of studios starting to release their movies in Asia first lately to combat piracy. So the earlier your country gets a movie release, the higher the piracy level is

Fifth largest doesn't mean they are in the Big 5. Like that if my cap ayam accounting firm is 1000th in the world that I will start calling myself "Part of the Big1000?"

yeah got a few people posted in this thread a while ago that EP kena reject. some of them after reject, company help them appeal, then after appeal got approved. don't remember who, though, quite long time ago d.

Obviously none of us here will know the real reason, but at the moment this bolded part sort of quite 'hangat' right now - lots of PRC are doing it and lots of SG netizens are complaining about it in forums & stuff, saying these ppl only know how to drain SG resources then when time to serve NS they leave
