Any of you got vacancies in your place for IT guy? Friend of mine got retrenched from RIM (singapore) almost half a year back, hasn't been able to get a replacement job. 3-4 years exp in IT Support with Genting and RIM, holds a Masters degree of some sort.

Non-SPR, he relocated to SG for the RIM job then kena retrenched after 3 months


Are you sure it's not actually "pretty chick kena sandwich by you?"


I dunno why he having so much trouble finding job. Possibly cos his qualifications don't balance with his (relatively) limited job experience so companies don't wanna even consider him for junior positions? *shrug*


yalor he camping out with his family in kluang while applying.

because trolling belongs in /k/ and not here?

Get the offer before worrying about other things like EP application. Finance line recruitment very soft in recent months cos of all the uncertainty going on.

Yeh, I work in stanchart, but I'm in technology supporting WB so I know absolutely nuts about retail banking side. so you stalk me also no use lol.

Nah, MBFC is where all the bigshots and frontliners work. Small shrimp like me work in the back office are at changi business park

I always take internet message boards with a (huge) grain of salt. Same thing like LYN, whenever there is a "how much are you earning by 30 years old?!?" thread, invariably the answers don't reflect my personal observation of my friends & colleagues ... i.e. everyone by age 30 already earning rm10k++++++++


No such limitation on renting, single foreigners can rent whole HDB unit.

I work in SCB at CBP for over half a year liao, in all this time I've only seen ONE girl that is up to the level of "would totally turn my head to stare"

cab fare now evening until midnight also consider peak time surcharge liao ... then midnight onwards is midnight surcharge

even off peak car also cannot afford ler. latest normal car coe, <1600cc 57k >1600cc 78k, how to buy?!?

i thought of that too, actually you see those 2nd hand cars with 4-5 years left of COE can get for cheap one. But then maintenance costs + parking costs + all that ... calculate liao then decide occasional taxi ride still WAY cheaper

No longer applicable. Up until Dec last year you can get an EPEC (Employment Pass Eligibility Cert) from MOM (Ministry of Manpower), and using that Cert you can apply 1-year LTVP (Long Term Visit Pass) to stay in SG for a year. But unfortunately the scheme discontinued since last year Dec liao.


5 days out of 7, long term works out to about 60 days out of 84, so he is sort of within the limit of 60 days out of every 90 days mah assuming he every other week come in 4 days instead of 5.


No such thing for my fiancee before she got her LTVP. After 30 days, every time she comes into Singapore the ICA ppl calculate exactly how many days she has left (out of the 60 days allowance) and mark it on her entry chop in the passport.

only applicable if you're a high foreign earner i.e. earning more than $8k equivalent

ko bukan dah lama kat singapore ke?

If you're in the finance line, time to find a new job! Because banks like HSBC will have $22billion profit and yet cut 30,000 jobs

1. yes bring along the IPA. immigration will give you a white card for 30 days as usual. then when you're here you make appointment with ICA to finish the EP formalities and you will surrender the white card and IPA and they will give you the EP card.

2. I rented my HDB with my IPA, after 1 week+ then only give EP card for the owner to update HDB.

3. Do e-filing mah no need to go back malaysia.

@shinichi go to jaben at adelphi (coleman street near city hall mrt). it's a small shop, the uncle is super friendly, you can sit and try like all types of headphones til you find a pair that you like, they don't pressure you to buy at all one.

I ON one, I'm always looking to move SGD to MYR every other month or so. The problem is the trust issue ... I need to bank in SGD to forumer X, and he need to bank MYR to me, but who does the first move? If me, how willing am I to trust some random stranger with my money and vice versa?

what service do you use? my current bank (scb) charges are ridiculous, sgd40-50 each time. It's been mentioned few times in this thread that maybank can do it for $15 or so, but I lazy to open another account with them just for the occasional remittance every few months.
