if is >3K, it should be extremely heavy workload. that why they pay you high if you are a fresh graduate or you are a SG local graduate.
*
doesn't have to be that way. depends on company and what type of job.

It's a norm. As we aged we do find ourselves becoming lonelier and more stressful. not just Singapore per say.  It's life cycle and it becomes asymmetric when you compare what you had done 10 yrs back and what you could do now.
*
seriously? probably reality haven't hit me yet and maybe, not at all smile.gif . I am seldom bored in Sg during my off days. always find things to do.

The Johor government is in talk with Singapore MRT to connect Thomson Line with RTS (Rail Transit System - Johor MRT). So finger crossed that the talk will go through. Buy property at Johor and along the Thomson Line!

Is it true that Singapore PR who owns property overseas are not eligible to purchase resale HDB in Singapore? How does HDB find out about your overseas property??
*
yup, unless you apply for waiver. They expect you declare it truthfully. And we know the dire consequences if one trying to be funny and give false information. So the choice is really up to the individual. to tell the truth or not.

Well, my HR told me tat getting through wife wont serve NS, so i apply for it. For me, having PR is just so that i can bought a property here for my family. Without it, i wont mind much as i do have the planning to go aus to try out.

*
Is there a black an white on this? I thought they will call whoever they deem fit to serve NS (unless exempted, example 2nd gen pr) ? You do not fall under any of the exemptions criteria, so why no NS ?

Do read up on NS eligiblity on the official web. Basically all PR except through those who apply via professional/employment sponsorship scheme need to serve NS.

That's true, one of the exemption.

Letter from who? Title?

CMPB should send you a letter stating either you are exempted from NS duty or you should report at their centre at which date.

If they already enlist you, you can be charged for not reporting for NS even you have the intention to denouce your PR.
*
Power ! anyway, what's the disadvantages of doing NS if you are a working PR ? The army still pays you the same amount as your average last 3 months drawn salary. Free hair cut, lodging and food thumbup.gif . Might get an overseas trip too if reservice drool.gif

Now thinking back am i suppose to opt for production engineer? is it higher salary? I am from Mechanical Engineering background, fresh grad. Abit nerdy type.

Hmmmm. Jurong Shipyard huh? Quite a high risk place to work if you ask me. Their safety records speak for it.

Not the box. Depends whether it's new or not ... If still new in box then it's taxable ... My sister-in-law happened to bring external HDD that new in box and custom officer invited her into their room. However, it's for own use then she opened from the box and she free to go.

so, if it's new but not in box then no tax? But if it's in box then tax?

Hi. I am currently working in sg and stay in sg as well. Now I have a thought of moving to JB and driving in and out everyday to my workpalce. Can I know anyone of you guys staying in JB and travel in and out everyday? Need some opinions from you guys. Because I don't know well about JB and don't know which part should I stay and what is the travel time. Thanks..
*
depends on your work place. if its Tuas/Jurong area, then can stay at Gelang Patah or Bukit Indah. If its town area then can stay Taman Pelangi or Seri Tebrau.
