contact number is seen important in getting a job from singapore~~hehe

if the location is right for you, first coach is the best... in terms of pricing and comfort... my 1st choice for now

it depends on individual...

it depends on individual... but if you're talking bout nationality... then no, it is very easy...

wow, i see newbies are getting smarter nowadays, putting female tags.

And as for ur questions. I totally disagree, in fact a lot of investment bankers here are Malaysian, including higher levels. Couple with other foreigners.
PRC Ibankers are building up oso. SO locals (and i mean true blue locals, non-citizen cenverts) are in fact dwindling.

The problem is banking (including IB) recruitment is on a downtrend. every IB or banking jobs u see and apply, chances are there are 100 others competiting w u. And its about experiences, contacts / networks u can bring in, and hit the ground running.
If ur thinking u have 10 yrs of experience, so applying those with less than 3-5 yrs, will give u higher chances u r wrong. They want exact match.

For further understanding of the job markets for bankers, u can check out articles in eFinancialCareers.sg. It's doom and gloom for banking.
If ur lucky enuf to get a job here, make sure u perform 150%, and bring in the revenue / cost down the cost at day one (depends on ur job scope), if not chances are LIFO. No 2nd chance no learning time
