Hi all, guys...

please share your experience when 1st time onboard t singapore.
You will purchase prepare card 1st or straight away go apply postpaid?

I only know need purchase ezlink card

@ntick what on earth does ezlink card have to do with prepaid/postpaid cards?

For me i bought a starhub green prepaid to use for the 1st month in SG before applying for a singtel postpaid iPhone contract. Do note that unlike in Malaysia, SG prepaid cannot keep number when moving to postpaid, you have to get a new number.

V day will be super pack ! haha. anyway had our meal already. For this, we choosed 'Wild Honey'

I think what ntick mean is ezlink card is a must buy item,then now he thinking of buy prepaid or postpaid, use prepaid at the beginning is better.

Btw, i wonder why most of my Malaysian frenz using singtel postpaid instead of starhub n M1? izit really better? what if i call bac to malaysia quite frequently?which is the best?

Just get a prepaid first, after used for 2 or 3 months when you know approx how much you use per month, then only go for postpaid. To me all operators are the same, very depending on your location. Some places, singtel suck, some places M1..

1. u dun need data...stick to prepaid. it is cheaper.
2. if u need data, wait till u settle down and stable then only go postpaid.
3. if u dun wan data, but wanna sign up postpaid just to sell the phone, follow step 2.

If you're staying in SG for >2 years, contract for the $38/month entry level voice+data iPhone plan for 2 years. 12gb of data plus the average voice package. Buy a nice phone at a deeply discounted price. You don't save much by going for a voice only plan to save a few bucks but then probably spend more later on by getting a separate broadband line or buying your dream phone at full price.

If you're staying in SG for <2 years, then it gets complicated. But I still think the $38/mth basic iPhone plan is hard to beat.

And if your company participates in the Corp Individual Scheme, the corp discount applied to the $38 can be very deep.

How much is the phone price like?

Maxis cheapest plan at RM100 per mth need to top-up RM1,450 for the iphone 4S 16GB.

Bear in mind that, you can sign-up for 1 year plan too (if you are EP holder) but the monthly fees is higher.

It varies. Need to check telco website. But generally -50% at least.

Hi all, I have a few questions to ask regarding working in singapore. I'm a S Pass holder, working in Mediacorp, staying in hougang.

1) Which bank should i use? which it will be convenient for me to transfer money monthly bank to msia and it doesnt charge me much (I'm thinking of OCBC)
2) Which transport is the best to travel to KL? (or maybe which transport company with reasonable price)
3) to change SGD to RM, do you guys change in SG or Msia?

thank you very much for helping me with these! =)
4) any good food or good place to go in hougang?

Hi guys, I am an Electronic Engineer with 2 years experience.
How hard/easy is it for me to get a job in Singapore while working in Malaysia?
I have friends who have connections in a couple of companies but that's about it.

cool, can we be like best friend ?

anyway ;

1. can consider Maybank but very few atm
2. Grassland / NICE / ZUCO ?
3. Singapore for me

you working in mediacorp too?
I was thinking about maybank too but there're really few atm only.
that's why i go for OCBC.
but i would like get for suggestion and recommendation from you guys too =)

nah. I'm working for the 'red & blue' company. Just think mediacorp is a cool company .
You will lose quite an amount on transfer rates (& levy charges?) if you transfer using bank. Normally I'll just change and go JB bank in.

Can jalan2 and ask the banks lor.
Can also use transnasional website if you want. Cheapest I think.
Typically DBS lah. No harm getting 2 banks.
Raffles place money exchange on 2nd floor seems to give good rates. Do in bulk easier.
Food typical popular stuff for women is fish soup.

I will be quite busy for my work. just afraid that i do have time to purposely go jb and bank in money.
any other good way to transfer money to Msia montly?

You use bank xchange rate to transfer,sure rugi one, but is the good way without going to JB if you dun mind rugi to the bank.

Hi XinLing, I believe you can access to Maybank at all ATM5 ATM (ABN AMBO, Citibank, HSBC, Maybank, and Standard Chartered).

If you do read financial news, you should know that my company has just being put up for sale. If the acquisition completed, it'll be de-listed from the board. We're told not to panic. But who knows, I may be packing my bag in few months time. LOL

Certis Cisco acquired my ex-company in M'sia last time, booting all top management personnel. My last company acquired 2 small firms, whereby I was sent to study and take over their technical operation.

And now all my customers will become my cousins.

Well, if you are traveling back to KL often, bring back lor...

You can also consider FirstCoach as well. Resonable price.

Once a month shd be ok ma... good food in JB. Hougang dun have. Yishun have. NP B2 briyani indian good.
