Is there high paying iPhone production related jobs in SG that offer 2.8k for a fresh poly grad?
A technician candidate said her friend got the offer and asking why she gets much less than that. When I heard the story, the image of china Foxconn appear in my mind. |

QUOTE(seantang @ Feb 27 2012, 01:00 PM) Just changed some SGD to MYR today at my usual money changer in Ipoh. Pretty low at 2.38. Interesting thing is that I'm checking Maybank2u.sg right now, and it's also 2.38 using Regionlink. This is the 3rd time this year that I've checked and found that M2U is offering a competitive rate vs money changers. There is of course the issue of the S$15 fee with M2U, but given the fact that I had to walk around with a pocketful of SGD for the past couple of days... $15 to remove the whole hassle seems worth it. Sean, I believe u have maybank2u account both in MY & SG. Is there a limit to transfer funds from your account in MY to SG? I was told no limit as this is consider own account transfer & no extra charges besides exchange rate. True? |

Guys,
Which area would be a more "strategic" place to stay if I am not sure where my future work location is going to be? This might not be the best idea..but I'm thinking to get a room and stay there until I find a job. Heard from my SG friend says that 6 months is the minimum I can go with Some people suggested me to stay in JB temporarily...just don't want to take the risk after hearing so many weird crimes going on there.  |

If u have criminal record in SG, i would say 99% ur EP, WP or SP application will get rejected. |

Like lester said, you can't legally rent a room in singapore on a tourist visa. furthermore, you're looking at rm1.5k+ minimum a month for a room, and it is easily possible that it will take you several months to get an offer, so it makes a lot more financial sense to stay in JB and only come in when you have interviews (it's not like you're gonna have multiple interviews a day) |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Feb 28 2012, 12:15 AM) @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. Thanks deodorant, yeah I bought my HR1 earphone there. He is very friendly and even gave me free Fiio amp the last time i buy there.http://www.jaben.net/ But I'll need do some research before I head there, at least i have some ideas on what I'll be getting while trying out other headphones recommended by them.
