that is very bad service.
what if we went for a holiday and paid for hotel which happen to have the same case as yours
fly all the way back to settle with the owner?!
surprising that such customer service survived in sg.

The only paper work involved are:
- payable check to me.
- a service job report copy to client and myself, signed by both parties. (it also serves as payment receipt)

this is bad, your client has all the evidence agianst you if relationship turn sour or may wanna 'kena' you one day.

Hi guys,

I am planning to open a bank account here. Which bank would be better choice? Got many suggestion on OCBC and POSB.

Not planning for any CC yet as I am a poorfag. Convenient enough and maybe slightly higher interest rate will be good XD...maybe 0.0x%/month?
Suggestion

BERSIH !

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.

dbs/posb the.best bank for.me but.the atm queue always v long... maybe u can consider uob then get the debit card can also multi function to use to tap mrt and bus just like ez link.

also uob acc.can.withdraw from.ocbc atm 3x a month.free of.charge

U r still a small fish. Nothing to worry about. Ah long is their main target. So many people doing moonlighting to survive nowdays.

The ranking would be like this:
ATMS; DBS/POSB > UOB > OCBC
Queue; DBS/POSB > UOB > OCBC

So UOB would give you the best balance.

I was recently told that to open a UOB savings:
Nid to deposit $1k
Maintain $500 per month, otherwise there will be charges
SHow ur Epass, passport, Msian NRIC
Proof of address in SIngapore (I'm not sure can use office addres or not. But I think they should insist home address since wat if u staying w a relative and using prepaid phone, then no proof u stay there.

But I rmbr when i open mine, no nid deposit a single cent!! Just show them my HR letter proving that I'm employed..

your avatar looks like one lor.. lol. chosen one. lol

Wlcling,

I must. comment. on. this. You use. period so. random.

Anyway, opened OCBC account yesterday. Minimum 1k in account is a must or I will be charged $2 a month.
If account closed within 6 months there is a $30 charge. Both conditions not a problem for me so I went with their "Smart Parent" account. (Just a name, I'm not a parent)

No bank book, only ebanking account, monthly bank statement, and a debit card. Pretty standard.

Just wonder malaysia The Avenger start show on 27 Apr.
Why singapore only start show on May 2?

2.2-2.3 is quite low. May I know when was the last time u heard this? Coz Big4 since last year has revised all staff salary range, fresh grad entry is 2800. Doesnt if this apply to Big5 like BDO?

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

Big 5? Still 4 lah.

You're right about the 2.8 though. The Deloittes auditors auditing my company this year told me the same thing. Not sure about BDO though. They don't get the same kind of big fee clients that the Big4 do.

Is there anyone here working in the Big 4 in Singapore?

My friend working there recently told me that they expect you to work until 11pm everyday and to meet very stringent targets on work utilisation rates (70% of your total time working in a year must be charged to a client) and recovery rates for projects (min 70%) or else you'll get a warning letter. We're both working in Tax, except he's in Singapore and I'm in Malaysia. So far in my office, we get to go back at any time as long as our work is done by the deadline. And when we have low recovery rates for a project, we generally have a good reason as to why (eg. client gave crap information, there was more problems with the project than expected, etc). I feel that issuing a warning letter for things that might be out of your control rather drastic.

Anyone can confirm this work practice in the Big4 there? Is it a normal work practice in Singapore?

There's no 5, it is still 4. And they are not the fifth either in spore.

So no, the pay revision doesn't apply to BDO. Let's just say the info I have is fairly recent, if you think it is too low, then you can just try requesting for 2.8 and see if they will give you that. No harm trying.

Hi all, I'm new around here. Any futsal kaki over east side?

lol sorry ah... bcos the fullstop button and space button so nearby on my handphone... i always hit fullstop wrongly...
