Can anyone tell me why 7 out of 10 ppl in Singapore are using iPhone?
Now I can see selling iPhone accessories is serious business in Singapore.
Come on, Android is still the best mobile OS right now.

Well, one reason is that corporate plans for iPhone are crazy cheap.
My company's iPhone4S plan is $38 a month for 500mins 500sms 12gb data, and the phone (16gb version) comes free. Contract 2 years = $38 x 24 = $912 total payment which is even less than the $948 you pay if you buy retail phone only.

Thanks 4 all bro comments.

I just receive email regards my future landlord tell me that i need purchase 2 set of
queen size mattress protector and 2 set of queen size bed sheet.

Can i know how much for the queen size mattress protector and bed sheet sales in SG?very expensive?

Please advise

I was considering to join VSC but don't know if they accept tattooed guy.

I have a SGS2 already. But for company emails, it's either a BB or ipon. Android has not penetrated the corporate email / intranet yet.

even the maids here is using iPhone

Hi all, since I think all here been working in SG for some time (long or short), may I know where do you invest your money? MY or SG? And which area do you invest in?
Thanks.

Well, if you are traveling back to KL often, bring back lor...
You can also consider FirstCoach as well.  Resonable price.

hi everyone,does anyone know roughly how long an accounting fresh grad can get a job from Singapore..i need a time frame...
I have been waiting for job interview for 1 month plus d...receive no reply until now...TT

May I ask whether is it hard for Malaysian to get banking job in Singapore? =)

Because my frens say there investment bank seldom recruit malaysian..got any job hunting website can recommend?

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

Sort of lor..ask me wut I think bout co,am I happy,how I want to growth my career...

What is the engineering market in Sg now?a lot job vacancy?sigh in thinking if I transfer here after a year I'll change to another co..will this be possible?how hard to find job in Sg?

I'm Looking at mechanical field..but I think hard to be enployed by Ong co since I dun hv Exp in this field

Any1 experienced on non-resident tax? I started ard mid aug last year so i consider non-resident YA 2012 rite? so my employment income is taxed at 15% since i not entitled for resident tax? So  costly!!!!

ya i still ard....close to 14k(inclusive of allowances+bonus, which is taxable rite?)
so i still have to pay 1st then only get the rebate?

still a bit 

BTW, todays budget. Sg will reduce intake of Foreign Talents. So, this means it is going to be slightly tougher to come in. Good luck.
Can't blame them making noise. Even the local PR here is feeling the heat from FT.
It is the employers fault who wanted to bring in lower pay people squeezing out the locals and PRs.

that's incorrect. most engineers in OnG are mostly from mechanical, structural, naval or offshore marine engineering

maximum household income for HDB dwellers is SGD12,000. IF singaporean families managed to live with SGD8000 a month income, why can't you.

at least, you can survive with SGD8000/month compared to RM8000/month.

should be ok. my friend holds sleeping directorship in his family business for uh ... tax purposes (lol). when he started work in a bank in SG, they were OK with it as long as he signed some declaration forms & his manager & compliance approved. EP process not affected.

i think alaskan issue is whether 'WP' can hold directorship in SG, in addition to employment. and whether there any issue with MOM.
Banks declaration are only concern with MAS's concern on conflict of interest, not MOM.
Logically, there's a lot of foreign directors here, but dun think they are "WP", maybe EP.
Btw do they hold EP or something else?
Wat if they get director fee instead of director salary? are they employee, can get EP?

Non-executive directors are not employees. Hence they are not employed when they are in Singapore. Therefore they do not need any sort of employment pass or permit.

Yup, that's what non-executive means. Lots of the senior guys in my company's SG office hold directorships in the many subsidiaries registered in SG. Most are permit holders, rather than PR or citizens.

temporary go wipe table first...   = means do other jobs first while looking for a replacement job. Staying jobless for 6 months is no joke man..

^ wat impressive is, how can anybody not work in 6 month
so much time doing what 

bro, that day u were asking on investment stuff 
something just prompted me yesterday when a fren was asking for some financial advise due to new additional family member , maybe can share what is the protection u guys having in SG
doing my research and surfing insurance co website, saw this in GE website



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   

the thing about hospitalization plan is, now you don't need it but once you are old and retired, the insurance company will not insure u anymore.

Before any haters start bashing me for leaving or whatever, it was never about not liking staying there. Love the money and okay with the living, definitely one of the wisest choices I made! Really starting to feel the pinch here in KL!!! But I must persevere because I have career plans and I couldn't achieve it with staying in my previous company in SG. But definitely did help me clinch my current job here in KL. Hope with the bigger company in KL, can one day come back to SG with a bigger company!! But since I left after the election, any news on whether harder to get jobs there? :-(

In fact, anybody wanna help me ease my burden, by buying of my iPad 2? Just got a replacement set brand new in box from apple. Still have 100 plus days of warranty. Full spec wifi+3G, 64gb, white. Last time can afford get SGD!! It was really helpful in my journey KL-SG and also my work travel overseas.

how is pharmaceutical industry in singapore?

wow high krass bunny..
  if u dun join any meetings, but still become a director (exec or not) its very risky.
company bankrupt oso u duno.
not necessary all directors must sign. sometimes 75% approve is enuf, depend on company Memo & Article of Assoc.
i guess they wan u to fit into the number of directors, but seriously high risk, but if high gain can take the risk lar

mang went to other interview today
i told the jap my reason of leaving my company is cos my company is relocating to Sembawang and its gonna take me at least 1hour and half on transport alone. Cant relocate cos its gonna cos im gonna lose the deposit money and its gonna cos me a lot.
He asked me why not just stay and travel 1hour and half per trip? its not that bad, and its very common in tokyo.
Japanese.....

Hi,

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!

anyone working/worked at Jurong Shipyard before? I have an interview with them soon for a position in mechanical engineering department. tried googling about experience/salary wise there but didn't get much info.

The cab fair it's either 25% or 50% surcharge, leaving only 9am to 5pm as non-peak with normal charges, rite ?

i stopped reading those 2" posting in Stomp long ago. Which andy btw ?

yeah. that would be 25%. Midnight is 50%. enjoice  . time to consider getting a car.

so instead of calling it surcharge within *certain time*

more convenience to say, cheaper at *this time*
