erm, i am receiving some cookie error.

thanx mackiddo 

Oh ya Mackiddo, since u work in oil and gas field, i would like to seek some advices from you.

I am currently working in a manufacturing line with 2 years experience but if i decide to go for oil and gas, will my chances of getting a job low?

And from your website, should i search for a job with "fresh grad" or experience worker?

Guys - I read somewhere in this forum (from 2009) that Malaysians with employment pass and staying in Singapore can drive a Malaysian registered car if :

Within the first year of employment pass and a valid malaysian license,you can drive a singapore registered car, i done it b4...malaysia registered car i not sure,but after one year, you need to convert license then only u can cont drive

Have to be prepared to work from Monday to Sunday. I just declined an interview for the position of electrical superintendent.

wow 6 years in Singapore and already can afford a OPC car , impresive leh
teach us how almighty one 

hahaha thats woodlands.... im using tuas. and avoid peak hours. simple solution. tuas checkpoint. 5pm-7pm there is a sllight jam sometimes. so i finish work at 630. stay back have a cup of tea with colleagues till 730-8pm. and problem solved.

they dont have seperate lanes for big bikes in tuas and woodlands. but in tuas the space/queue is nothing like woodlands. there is ampel space for each bike to properly line up.. using the thumbprint/biometric lane is also a solution to this problem.

Actually i was think of change to PR after 1 year work something due to cpf/ easy change job, but need to give up drive msia car into sg.

normally what total cost of the car?

let say i buy a toyota vios (new car)?

omg, vios also need 100k total? 

From the perspective of the law in SG is it illegal to own a Malaysian car and drive it around in SG whilst on an Employment Pass and residing in Singapore?

Thanks!

SG driving license isnt an international driving license...u will still need to apply for an international driving license....goes the same for malaysia driving license who wants to apply/get an international driving license...
This is what I got
International Driving Permit(IDP)

I believe our very own JBKing fits this description. Not sure if it was 2012 or late 2011 though.

thanks
yup my friend told me that too. he said that because we are moving to singapore etc. that's why the salary has to justify the move.
do you think they're trying to pay us less just because we're malaysians?

aisay...thanks for the info bro !

Should put this in the first thread. Useful info.

I like to add that before one can 'submit the same to the Singaporean authority to obtain the Singaporean driving licence' one will be required to sit and pass the Singapore Driving Basic Theory Test (BTT) first.

wah, so nice to have company share half of the interest.

Guys, i will do medical checkup on next week, it is no need eat/drink for few hours b4 checkup?

or there are anything to care about?

   why shave , dont scare me 

hahah
funny dude

I would recommend
1st solution of buying landed at JB and drive sg car.

i) You can really see people even singaporeans themselves going with this move of buying landed here and travelling to SG everyday for working purposes. Logical thinking: would I live in a bird nest or in a landed property with gardens or bigger area FOR the same amount of money or lesser?

ii) I've been to Horizon Hills and yes, I see it as a darn good place. Quite accessible to 2nd link and could avoid the terrible jam for the main causeway.

iii) Buying in IDR area could actually be a boon as properties prices are increasing in JB due to IDR and infrastructure, education, entertainment hub etc.

Disadvantages:
i)Property price bubble may happen in JB since there are too many housing estates being developed.
ii) Buying properties in SG will be an investment since their prices keep on increasing ~_~ BUT it will be a whole life investment unless your monthly earnings can sustain it.
iii) You said you planned to move to other country in few years time, well, depends again, you can always rent out your property in SG at a high price but then again, too many houses in JB.

can share how u guys here back KL by bus?
is it safe? trip took how long? suggested method to buy ticket? thx
=D

Regarding (2) - not sure what the position does but my humble advise is, u got to be ready to work 7 days a week. Payout is lucrative. With 2700 as base salary, u will be getting around 4.5k/month averagely, considering all bonuses and AWS. They pay out share options as well after certain years of service.
Shipyard is a really good place to learn. If ur intention is to work hard, learn, and get good money then my advise is to go ahead. If ur looking for a 9-5 office condition work then I suggest u to give it a miss.
Lastly, some of my friends have joined oil majors after several years working at shipyard in production line just FYI. Life is tough but the return is good. Think thoroughly before making any decision. Good luck.

Anyone can recommend me a good buffet dinner in Singapore? (International Buffet with sashimi)

Budget around $35 to $45 nett. Thanks.

Survey at groupon or deal.sg, can get very nice deal for buffet

Ops... sorry, cant help, but company will pay for the medical checkup fee right?

7-11 is never cheap. when you start earning money here, you wont think it is expensive.

obviously you haven't compared housing and car prices.

I really cannot stand the malaysian life. Snatch thieves everywhere. Dont even feel safe when walking in the afternoon.

Ok, I should make some corrections to my earlier sentence. It is not easy to live in a comfortable life in Singapore as fresh grad. To have better living condition (for your own comfort), it probable need to take up half of your salary. haha.

Thanks inform, never know about that. (troll issue).

What if like we search ourself somewhere online through propertyguru or iproperty? Is buyer liable to pay as well?
