You might want to consider V Hotel Lavendar. The rate is $138 on weekday and near to Lavendar MRT.

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!

If you are not keen to share a place, then i see no point for you to rent the whole HDB unit.

Try to look for studio unit. Last, i check the price is hovering ard 1.5k to 1.8k.

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.
*

Yes. And, i got recruited. Hope this answer your question.

Sharing my experience.

I received no reply by sending my resume with Malaysia address and contact no. Then, i decided to quit my job and come here looking for job.

I managed to get myself a job in 2 weeks time.

However, my friend manage to get himself a job here while he was working in KL.

The best way is thru connection like what deodorant has mentioned.

i am at uni of ade now  rclxms.gif

so i dont think it is because of your school.. very hard to know what's the particular reason.. but if you had given your contact details and noone is calling you, then just wait.. probably your HR is slow in submitting the docs.. are you from east msia?

Any issue if he is from east msia?

IMO, the screening for these applicant is more thorough after the white tiger case and other fighting cases.
Those incident involved east Malaysian who suddenly snap and behave dangerously, the white tiger incident was a high profile case where an east Malaysian pick a fight with the white tiger. IIRC, there was also a reported armed gang fight among east Malaysian some time after the white tiger case.

Thanks for sharing. I heard of the white tiger case only.

This is a good piece of info to share with my friends if they intend to work here.

Is your friend an EM bumi(native)?

Let us know if EM also get approved as per normal, the MOM might relax the screening.

I am from EM. MOM approved me last June/July. Btw, I'm Chinese.

My spouse (EM - Chinese) just arrived here two days ago. Hope she can get a job soon.
