DBS anjua ?

Hi guys, just a quick question.. Would you apply to those jobs which recruit only Sporean/PR? I know maybe you will say no harm trying but I really wanna know what's your view/experience on this. Is this acceptable or do you think this will irritate the employer?

Do you think I might stand a chance as I'm a Malaysian staying in SG for more than 3 years and from JB. I'm sure I know SG and its culture very well (been watching Ch 5/8 since I was born). I don't see myself any different from any local Sporeans in terms of culture/language.

This nationality preferred thingy is because of the policy or is it just the employer's preference? I was told there is no quota for Employment Pass though, only quota for WP/S Pass. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Ok great! Thanks! I've just realized I asked a stupid question. I should just apply since I've nothing to lose and it's just a few mouse clicks

Hi guys....
Today is my last working day in Malaysia
Tomorrow i will come 2 SG join you all.......

Just change RM 4k=SGD 1654.
rate is 2.417...looks like drop already....

Just a question, i need bring along the IPA letter when in the SG immigration, the white card i need fill in 30 days is it? and for working?

Now pack all my things, I know that in SG rent a room need EP, however i only have IPA, did anyone use IPA letter rent a room during waiting EP process?

i think during early April i need go back Malaysia to submit the income tax, my employer not ready the EA yet.

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.

Thanks bro for suggestion...
I'm not sure if I'll be getting earpad headphones, or over the ear headphones but definitely not in-ear earphones (my klipsch s4 now laying unused in drawer as I prefer earbud and using Crossroads HR1 now).
I'll do some research online first for few headphone models then only go to few ear/headphpone stores like Jaben, the one in ION you recommended, there's another in Plaza Singapura and 1 more in The Cathay as far as i know... thinking to get a 5.1 or 7.1 headphone to watch bluray movies but afraid audio quality may not that good...

But honestly if possible i still prefer speaker over headphone coz dont like the feel of being "closed" in a space... haha but considering the fact i may annoy others... no choice then...

Thanks bro for the links
Will go check around for headphones that suits me... before sourcing for best deal

@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.

Senheiser at atp b got staff discount.

Talking about exchange. Maybe brudder and sista here can offer amount to exchange and put the rate at the middle for buying and selling to benefit both and cut out the middle men? Boleh?

The new EP for my new co has been approved after three days. Tendered my resignation on the day it was approved.

Just another follow up question... when will we need to cancel our current EP? Also, on the day I cancelled my EP, who do I need to give back that green card thingy.

After giving back the green card, then I do not have a white card to leave the country.

Any experience eh?

you will surrender your ep card on the last day that you stay with your current employer, they will print out a letter which you will be allow to stay at singapore for 30 days and cancel your ep online.

That letter will be collected upon leaving of singapore, you don't need a white card.

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?

the thing is...most of us are moving money from sgd to myr
unless u start a WTS/WTB thread, i dun think there are many ppl moving money the other direction.

i usually do remittance, costs me SGD8 - 10 depending on the speed of the service. I used to ask around for ppl to move SGD to MYR... but gets too much hassle, and ur right... trust issue.

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.

citi sg to citi my is sgd10 (they said, nvr tried)
pay2home is sgd9 (hmm...macam naik harga d)
i use another method which i think is like a privilege for my company.

2 rooms in punggol filed for rental at $650 each. double occupants will be $850. all pub/utilities included.

air con / wifi, full furnish.

10 mins walk to MRT. 30 mins by bus to Tampines interchange. 30 mins by bus to shenton way (express bus) 30 mins by MRT to town.

interested parties please drop email at tom_kkh@hotmail.com
