QUOTE(sapapa @ Aug 10 2012, 02:00 PM) Guys, wanna ask how much can you save every month if you're staying in SG but going to KL almost every week or sometimes. How much % can you save? Going KL almost every week? then you better work at KL, save even more.

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Aug 10 2012, 02:28 PM) trains take 'forever' to reach ! The only way I would take it, if it's the nite ride, their 1st class special is quite comfy, with shower room included  Haha, "forever" reach is better than cannot go back, i am too late to buy bus ticket, so have no choice but take train.

QUOTE(duncan880409 @ Aug 10 2012, 09:55 PM) Hi all, I m ready transitioning in SG.. Currently 1 year work experience at semicon inductry, what company i can start in there/ recommendation ? Micron..if you have very good grade since you only have one year of experience...they can give very good salary..  Added on August 11, 2012, 7:20 pmQUOTE(Mackiddo @ Aug 11 2012, 03:34 PM) Sg road are pretty easy to navigates, link by few major expressways. You just need to buy an Autopass card (S$10 with S$6 value ?) upon entry into Sg, near the Immigration Building itself. I don't think you gonna use much of the $6, other than the toll (>S$2) for exiting Sg via the old causeway. Once in Sg, find a HDB parking which is free (tons of it around) for Sunday to park your car. I think the thing that auto deduct toll money should be ERP ??

QUOTE(shirley_andy @ Aug 11 2012, 08:47 PM) I think if I drive in, I probably wouldn't past any toll right? since I'll park around Marsiling/Woodlands/Kranji MRT station. Well,Mackiddo already answer your question.  Added on August 11, 2012, 10:19 pmQUOTE(Mackiddo @ Aug 11 2012, 09:03 PM) Majorities of foreign register vehicle do not have I.U. Unit unless you go install one. So how to auto deduct ERP ? Normally for foreign cars is to pay a flat rate of S$5/day for unlimited ERP entry for the day, to be deducted from autopass card when leaving Sg Oo...now i know...thank for the info.

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Aug 13 2012, 12:29 AM) mine more simple. 2 years contract. 50% discount/month from whatever plan you get from the market and mobile phone price is -S$150 from whatever price you pay for the mobile phone that tied to that plan. Data stays at 7.2mbps 12GB/month (free) or S$7 for 1mbps 50GB/month. Max 3 lines. This is awesome!!

QUOTE(megadisc @ Aug 13 2012, 09:13 AM) no more 12GB liao leh ... so sad Last time i check with starhub, they told me that if they launch the 4G, they also will limit the data plan, but you still can choose if you want 3G or 4G by that time, not sure is for current user or new user.

QUOTE(seantang @ Aug 13 2012, 09:51 AM) If you're concerned about the data plans being reduced... just wait for the iPhone 5 and see how. The last time when iPhone 4S was released, all 3 telcos had the phone available from launch day. Unlike the previous iPhone launches, Singtel didn't have exclusivity. So the 3 had to actually compete upfront for the new signups. Since they cannot compete on hardware... they competed on price plans. Singtel's originally announced iPhone 4S Flexi plans was only 2GB, IIRC. Then the same day, M1 announced same price, more data. Then Starhub announce even more data, then Singtel announced they will match... ding-dong until by evening, all 3 had announced 12GB plans. So with iPhone 5 and all the brainless Apple fanboys in Singapore... I think we'll see the telcos go into another round of competition on launch day. And if they don't quickly bring the "standard" 12GB data plans back lower now, they might have to raise it to 20GB or something on launch day. At least now they have room to "increase" it back to the original 12GB and say they are giving you a promotion. Wow.. din notice that Iphone can cause so chaos..shall wait for Iphone 5, see how much chaos it will be...

Actually when you are Pass holder and when you switch job the new salary is based on previous job salary. what if i obtained SPR, and change job, will they give me salary range for SPR, or the still follow the previous job salary?

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Aug 13 2012, 04:24 PM) There is a salary range for SPR ?  And how much would that be ? Go on, just humour me. Higher than Pass holder ? normally everyone apply SPR is for better job with better pay as SPR is consider half singaporean. so my question is when you are still Pass holder, you change job,you new salary is roughly 20% increment from your previous job? What if you change job after you obtain SPR, still new salary 20% increment or maybe higher as your previous job salary is Pass holder salary and now you are a SPR?

Singaporean > SPR > EP > WP?? For EP & WP maybe a different but not much after you are an EP. Usually EP are granted to graduates so chances are your pay is a graduate pay. Putih ??? Oic...you have gave me clearer concept on the pay, because i see thing like how i see thing in malaysia, foreigner always have lower salary compare to local.My bad my bad...
