But screwed the most exp project. penny wise pound foolish

btw, I am just giving warning to those who's applying jobs here. So, don't be surprise if your replies from employers are late or non existence. You have to be proactive and beat the rest (lower salary) if you are desparate. Hope this helps.

for those staying in jb travelling everyday to singapore, with EP, do they need to pay any VEP for their malaysian vehicle?

that's incorrect. most engineers in OnG are mostly from mechanical, structural, naval or offshore marine engineering

This year budget is for the people of Singapore. The gov had too much focus on growth in the past. With growing ageing population, this budget come at the right time for its people.

When economy down, employer might cut older local staff for cheaper ft. With lower ft quota and higher cpf for elder staff, sg gov is protecting their people. Minister Tharman had said lower growth is expected for this "inclusive theme" budget.

No point argue with ex finance minister over the budget if the gov fail to win its people vote right? After the last GE, pap have to do this.

I wish MY gov have the HEART for its people like SG.

Ok, let's see what we have
1) more medical staff needed with the expansion.
2) more bus driver and service technician with new buses
3) education and training center will have greater demand since gov want to train more worker.
More trainer jobs.

if u r still around u will be taxed as a resident although u worked less than 183 that year... if i had not mistaken, only if u quit... but i have a friend that quit or rather got transfered back to msia... he too didnt have to pay 15%
if you're good you compete... the gov is tightening and not closing the door totally... may the best man wins
it depends on where on the ong supply chain... upstream or downstream it is all diff lor...

oh yea, i'm referring to upstream

VEP is applicable to all foreign vehicle. in fact, the reason VEP is implemented is to control those working in Singapore but stay in JB
to don't drive to work. to avoid the traffic congestion in SG.

dont forget
it's to make money !

Yeah..of course...ERP as well mah..DUH!

Years of so called iron fist rule. It is changing. The % is getting lower, just like in Malaysia. Spring cleaning.

Hey guys, my company holds 15% of my monthly salary for the period of 6 months(probation period). After this period, the company would return the money back to me. I have been asked that applying a GIRO account would help me as I would get the full salary and the company does not hold 15% of my monthly salary for 6 months.

I went to GIRO few days ago and talked to the officers there. They said that I am not liable to any tax, they could not help me with this. They said that this is between you and your company.

So now I'm confuse.

I wonder if anyone experience this before?

I'm confused too.

Where is GIRO and they have officers?

Is your company paying your salary in cash? If they bank it in, they don't have to withhold any potential taxation in case you don't pay your tax, as the bank records will show that they have passed all of your salary to you.

GM come down doing interview? That's rare, unless the company very small, you applying very high position or you applying to become his secretary.

My company holds 15% of my salary for 6 months because they are afraid that I might run half-way and they have to use that money to pay income tax.

They pay me by cheque. I know that I am don't have to pay any tax at the moment but if I leave the company within 6 months, I have to pay tax.

If your company file proper papers, they should not hold you I think. It is up to you and the tax man. You dare to con the tax man? lol.

Nope nothing to do with resident or NR. Just give a call to IRAS.

GIRO? ... you sure you put the correct acronym here?

Yea, GIRO = IRAS, the income tax building at Novena

I'm from material science but working experience in mechanical...

Still waiting for offer frm
My co..
