QUOTE(Jurlique @ Feb 23 2012, 11:35 PM) At least you see girls. I feel the same, i see too many indons instead of bangla.... Noob worker like me working in Tuas can only see bunch of bangla walking and loitering around after working hours. You hardly see any girls in this area. What a shame.   |

I have learned a lot from these anonymous internet postings. Typically high earners will fit this profile: 1. Young - around 30+ 2. Successful - already earning 10k+ at 18 years old in his first job 3. Savvy in investment - every property and share investment confirmed make a few 100k like it is loose change. All never lose money in investment before. 4. Humble - even though earning six digits, they still do not think it is a lot and feel that they are poor. Sob, such poor things I want to thank each and everyone of you high earners for taking time of your busy schedule to post on the internet. Based on your salary, even a few minutes of your time is worth hundreds of dollars, and the significance of your sacrifice is not lost on me. It is indeed heartening to know that people with your vast wealth, humility and good looks are so willing to share your success stories. I am going to graduate next year and will replicate your success and become a millionaire by 30. I have decided I will not settle for anything less than 10k per month in my first job (well, maybe low 10k since the economy is not so good). p/s This message is only meant to thank those earning 200k per annum. For the rest of you, please GTFO and just kill yourself, you are earning too little. Pathetic!  This post has been edited by ivanswk: Feb 24 2012, 09:48 AM |

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

QUOTE(tgrrr @ Feb 24 2012, 05:59 AM) Hi, I think rental in jurong shd be cheaper, especially u dun rent somewhere near to train station.Question for the experts around here. I've recently gotten an offer that comes with I think OK salary plus a small housing allowance of SGD870 per month. It's an engineering position, office is somewhere in Jurong. Salary still negotiable but I'm wondering if it would be worth it. Reason being, I'm not at all keen to share a place with other people, unlike where I am now where I can stay comfortably and cheaply. The cheapest place in Singapore I can find online to rent a whole unit of HDB is like SGD2000 to SGD2500, whereas a private apartment is something like SGD3500. Are my numbers correct? Would appreciate if you guys can let me know if otherwise. Also, I'm wondering if there are any legal rules that prohibit the renting of whole HDB flats to foreigner (i.e. PR, non-PR), and thus I must rent a private apartment/condo only which will be much higher than my current estimate? Assuming I'm staying alone, without a partner, parents or otherwise. I'm wondering because HDB flats are after all provided for the purpose as public housing... Thanks! Yes, renting whole unit can sometimes be illegal, depending whether it's approved or not. But on average, an approved 2 bedrooms whole unit HDB, 2K shd be reasonable. If u can find those illegal, lock one room and far from train station, 1.5k shd be sufficient. |

Just a question... anyone here being an EP holder, found another job and reapply for the new EP? Understood that it will take 1 day to 2 weeks.
Also, know anyone who failed to get the new EP after working in the old company for about a year and a half and then tender? |

The interesting one is that Ex-employer can sabo one aa? Amazing.. but will the ex (or rather the current) employer knows when we go apply for new EP? They would only know when it is kena rejected/approved, right? Or I might be wrong. hehe...fail to get EP also have, in the SG expat forum, the new EP requirement force some need to downgrade to WP another one is your ex employer sabo u with MOM |
