Hi all, I have a few questions to ask regarding working in singapore. I'm a S Pass holder, working in Mediacorp, staying in hougang.

1) Which bank should i use? which it will be convenient for me to transfer money monthly bank to msia and it doesnt charge me much (I'm thinking of OCBC)
2) Which transport is the best to travel to KL? (or maybe which transport company with reasonable price)
3) to change SGD to RM, do you guys change in SG or Msia?

thank you very much for helping me with these! =)
4) any good food or good place to go in hougang?

you working in mediacorp too?
I was thinking about maybank too but there're really few atm only.
that's why i go for OCBC.
but i would like get for suggestion and recommendation from you guys too =)

I will be quite busy for my work. just afraid that i do have time to purposely go jb and bank in money.
any other good way to transfer money to Msia montly?

eh... the future direction of the company 
he will ask you, senyii, if u are the GM how r u going to run this CO 

Then you shud ask urself. do you enjoy in Malaysia?Coz most ppl come Sg is to earn money, some even complain boring life in Sg. So do you enjoy ur time in Malaysia?

once u feel "standard of living, better educations, better securities, better infrastructure, better $, fewer red tapes compare to Msia"  hard to turn back...

some of my peers, remain in small town and settle down wif kid and i think earning 1/10th of some of the lowyat sg elite here, also happy what  , so what make u happy 

Where are you from? because my friends having the same problem, one from penang and one from ipoh,they never get a call from Sg and lastly they work at their hometown. We suspect that when Sg companies view ur CV, they will check your current address, if too far, they wont call you for interview. that is what we think, correct me if i m wrong

Strength of the currency. Malaysia telco subsidize rm500 = 20-30% of the handset cost. Singapore telco subsidize sgd500 = 50% of the handset cost.

Source? you mean different race fighting over a toy or wat??

I am indirectly referring to "warna kulit" lah bro...

I mean all are equal in SG regardless of race, age, gender, religion, nationality etc.

You perform, you get your piece of cake, you under-perform, you get peanuts. As easy as ABC. And this is how SG achieve its success as well.

Sadly, this is not the case in Malaysia.

Allo, its not all that rosy here lah. Discrimination is everywhere in any country. Perhaps less obvious here. I do feel it myself. At times you have to be in the 'circle' to go up. Else, better go and find some other companies.  

i shall not comment on the female tags, but i beliv most regulars here understand wat i mean.

Because you're already Singaporean in mind and spirit. Lol

you mean how? so far doing well, oil n gas is expanding, new LNG terminal is opening.. construction is down...

anything is possible..

very easy, just say cheese    u never try you never know la..

well, about my interview earlier this week, i pretty much spent  about 30minutes getting killed and owned by the GM, where he boldly mentioned that I am not adaptable, not flexible, and technical minded ( he is is looking for someone with more commercial minded). Sent a thank you letter the day after the interview, and the HR said will revert to me by Friday(today). But today the HR said still cannot conclude their selection yet. My guess is that, I did bad, but the others did worse. lol

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.

monday deep blue 
kena sardine by few auntie in the train this morning  "sienz", sg mrt cant cope already

Come on, those few auntie may feel the same, sardine by uncle this morning. You can also try to avoid the crowd by going out slightly early.

Wow, I gonna butthurt liao.

I just get to know my friend's friend at the SG Airshow 2012 over the last weekend working as a first officer pilot in SIA and draws him a salary of $26,000 per month and guess what, he is only 28 this year. 

Fulalmak, high income, great salary, high social status profession, a job that command great respects and attention especially from all the stewardress, travel around the world, staying in 5 stars hotel when abroad, which jobs other than pilot can have these sort of treatment and attributes??

And my friend told me he just bought a condo in SG and also paying installment for RM3 million bungalow in KL.

Back to ground now whereby most of us is only earning $7K to $8K a month. Sad....

Regretted I din took-up piloting but when into accountancy instead.

got another inerview this thursday for a shipping company as technical superintendant. The company manpower is only 9 ppl, 2 of them are Japanese and the manager that is going to interview is a Jap. Time to look up for Japanese vocabulary related to marine industry

I think if to buy a house and live the rest of my life there in SG is pretty difficult if salary were not higher than Sg$8k a month.

thinking of bumping up another half a mil coverage combination of term life and PA
the hospital portion is the part i yet to understand, cause we already have medishield
and our co also further cover hospital, just dun see the reason the get anymore hospital cover

quite reluctant to engage a financial adviser, always pushy   

You're missing the action leh. The chickadee quotient was very very high. All heels, tight skirt, blouse and jacket OL type. And that was just within the building.

got a few.. .but forgot liao... 3 of them i think...

whoa, cab fair went up a lot hor... sometimes i take went up like 40-50%, so ex already...
