Hi guys, would like to ask a diploma holder fresh grad with $1450 salary as starting pay, as a computer technician, is it good or underpaid?

I think is around $1.4K to $1.6K for a diploma fresh grat holder.

Likely to be near bottom of the salary range. That was the average salary 10+ years ago. Now average should be 1.8k. Over 2k is possible if you have some special skills and good final year project.

Ps: I am referring SG diploma, MY diploma may be lower.

yeaps.. good

what is a computer technician job scope? like those in low yat plaza?

-Repair, fix laptops and notebooks
-Need to assemble everything, do general checking
-Do daily OS installation/restore/format/backup
-Pack and unpack notebooks in store
-Communicate with customer regarding laptop issues

And other misc stuff...

How do NTUC know how much you earn after you sign policy?

If Canadian got cancer their gov cover all their medical expenses, is Singaporean worth as much?

I saw a few cancer cases, if you are poor you better think thice. The usual insurance coverage is less than a typical cancer bill. It is too expensive to be sick in SG. Look at the $39milhome of a famous female doc, you could guess where major part of your insurance money goes.

how much is hdb flat rental rate for 1 room, any thing below SGD 500?

true. Medical expenses are pretty high in Sg but they are also among the best and finest. The single most important thing to do is get medical insurance. Although I'm cover pretty well by my company (insanely high), I still buy an additional one for old age.

good for shorterm.. come over and then develop yourself because you cant do these kind of stuff long term right?
it is self declaration... like if lets say you make more than that automatically you dont qualify.. so if u lie and still pay the premium.. when it comes to claims, they find out... then nothing for you.. just like how you declare previous illnesses and smoking

hayar.. canada diff la, that 1 welfare state la.. will nvr happen in sg, sg got nuts so everybody got to work hard... canada got vast amount of land, pop so low... just like aus.. all they need to do is to dig up some soil/plant something then there's $$$ already
mine is SGD 450 yew tee, +PUB & intarnuts, common room no aircond

Guys,
This is my forth day in SG, i found that not convenient if i din have internet to use..

Any one can recommend i can use any wifi that no need sign contract 1?
I need use it @ house.....my owner not allow to apply broadband line...

How do you on9 when u are new arrive in SG? beside go MCD
Any suitable plan?i don't want bond with contract because i don't know how long i will be stay in SG....if ecomomy bad, i mybe need tapau go back malaysia liao....

Plz share....

Check the TnC before you sign. I never have to declare my earning or the insurance co will decide on payout based on my latest income status. I also have the NTUC medisheild, the Normal rate for PR went up a few round compare to SG over the last few years. The offer from GOV is not significantly cheaper than what I pay for each family members. About 100+ each per year. Of course the coverage and rider plan may differ.

Your company provide insurance?
