It will definitely reduce congestion within JB Town... at the expense of causeway travellers.

The whole thing of asking causeway users to bear the costs just doesn't make sense. I think they just wayang wayang only. Spread the news first, then you humble rakyat will complain like hell. I bet just right before the next GE, the BN government will come out with some almighty-we-humble-rakyat-should-be-thankful subsidy plan. And yes, subsidize their crony using our money.

Nice picture you got there! The moon tonight is so clear and bright without clouds.

No... Just that you need to walk though the manual counter everytime. Haha.

I see. I'm sorry if I've provided any wrong information.

I just renewed my passport and I had to go through the manual counter. One of the officer told me I can update my new passport info at the office anytime (in order to use the automated system) but I never did since everytime I was in a hurry to go back home.

Has anyone heard SearchAsia or Recruit Express or even other recruitment firms? What are your impression in them? I guess you all must have been receiving calls from them very often.

Thanks for the input. I'm trying to gather more information with regards to the recruitment firms/headhunters in SG as I have an interview with them for Search Consultant position.

Any more inputs?

L7Awesome, mind to share your experience with them? How did they found you? Did they headhunted you from Msia?

Pardon me.. But what is a HH? Do you think they are loathsome or annoying? Like all those uninvited calls.

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

It seems like you are supporting the discriminations of Chinese and Indians (Foriegners) in SG. But don't forget Malaysians are foreigners too

yes just hantam! you shouldnt be choosy. find the right job that suits you regardless of location. just get your resume ready and send! you have nothing to lose.

investment banking? you need to make more research whether is it better for you to start in Msia or SG. but be warned that the competition for entry level position investment bankers are very very intensive. even the brightest grads from NUS find it hard to set their foot in IB because some banks only consider ivy league grads. you'll be surprised how many ivy league grads apply to those banks in SG.

good luck!

What? You thought all the crimes happen only in JB?

One problem, you probably can't drive your G plate vehicle into Msia :/

Just to add, all foreign vehicles are entitled 10 VEP (Vehicle entry permit, $20 daily) free days and if you drive in after 5PM on weekdays, no VEP is required.

Mackiddo is right, until 2AM. Yeah other charges most likely will be ERP. Try to avoid or wait after the operation hour haha (normally ends at 7). In case if you come across an ERP in operation, don't panic just drive through. A flat rate of $5 daily will be deducted from your Autopass.

Hi what position are you looking at?

I too applied for the Account Manager post. So they are sending out offers now? Arghh then I got rejected without an interview. I hope you got it!

No, your income in SG is not taxable in Msia.

They got their means one. Maybe through LinkedIn?

Guys would like to know the effectiveness of these recruitment firms. Would you send your application through them?

I just graduated from NUS and I'm looking start my career in sales (preferably B2B). Been giving all these staffing agencies a miss as I thought they might have genuine offers (because many of them have ridiculously high number of job oppotunities) and I have the impression that company filling their openings through them are being secretive (What's there to hide anyway). Though I understand sometimes companies wouldnt wanna let their competitors to know what they are doing but considering the seniority of the position for a fresh grad, is it really necessary?

What's the trend now? Other than looking from online job ads website, should I read the newspapers too? Hope HR folks here can share your views.

Thanks!
