I called them this morning, transfer rate is 2.48 with S$10 processing fee (can be waived if you transfer more than 10K back to malaysia)

anyway, transfer rate is slightly higher than exchange rate based on what my friend told me, try call them for the best rate

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 :

- Have Employment pass
- Only for the first 12 months of holding employment pass
- Have a valid malaysian license

Can anyone advise if this is still true and send me the link to some official website? Can't seem to find it

Thanks!

Read somewhere someone did this for 3 years and paid about SGD440 a month ... wonder how he managed to ?

I scanned all and have soft copies with me all the time. Even under situation like this I will still be able to print out, at least better than nothing.

I'm frustrated recently. I appealed the applications twice, unfortunately, got rejected.

Does anyone here manage to get PR status via SP ( year 2012)?

Congrats, bro

Is she a S-pass holder? How long she holds the s-pass before applying PR application?

Hi guys, would like to ask if Malaysian work in Singapore for more than 183 days but didn't stay in Singapore(everyday commute) still taxable? How much?

Just get a JPJ transcript (dont get from JB else they sort of black list you or extort money from you), sit for theory and you are done.

I hv both Msia & Singapore driving license. Sg driving license is an international license hence evem if they treaten not to renew your license you can still drive any car.

Is it? Somehow I got the impression that Sg is an international license.

But i thought with or w/o Co broke, we still need to pay agent half month commission if we get the room thru agent?

So from what i understand for your sentence, if they state welcome Co-broke, mean they allow agent to help them? right?

4 months on and you think of subletting?
good that you see far ahead, but bad you do not see the present.

like what yhoong mentioned, PR allows better work opportunity.
on top of that, CPF by employer.

to buy a HDB flat for PR, you need to be PR along with your spouse.
furthermore, the initial payment for buying a hdb is ...   
until you have enough dough to cough up for the initial payment, it is still a few years down the road (well, unless you are loaded..but if you are loaded, go condo)

edit: forgot this is sublet
cannot sublet hdb, sublet condo lo.

Part of the downpayment can be cpf. So need about 60k cash exclude renovation.

Sg legal fees is lower compare to 5 digit legal fee in MY.

I don't believe the hdb price will remain strong for the next 8 years if the gov keep its stand on PR and FT policies.

If you buy hdb yes. No cov for condo.

Beggars can't be choosers. Want big house in sg, work harder lor.

Nothing to do with luck, I definitely didnt born with a silver spoon in my mouth. And all my investment are from my own pure savings. Never took any single cent from parents after I left uni, infact I gave them and my sister monthly allowance.

The luck that I have are

- I knew a job wont get me rich, so I settled for a position that wont drained me mentally and physically.
- I invest money and time in business and property.

- I network with like-minded people, rule of thumb from books I read, is that, mingle with 6 people who are eaning more than you do.

- I am frugal with my spending.

- I bought a car in Sg (cause of the business I have), but the installment comes from the excess cash from rental income in Msia.

You just have to be smart in handling your money. Okay I sound as if I am preaching Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad but yeah I believe in delayed gratification.

I know of an investor in his mid 40s, his salary isnt much and lower than mine, a family man, but he has got multiple properties, palm oil land and condos in Singapore. How he does it? He save and invest.

The only naysayer always reminds me is that, "you wait, if the market crash, you'll suffer when all your properties are not rented". Oh well, wait I shall then. Worst case, I go bankrupt. I rather try than sitting by the fence not doing anything but blaming not being lucky.

Where is the best place to get a good exchange rate from sgd to myr? I can only find the highest of 2.85 at jurong point (boon lay mrt)

2.85 so nice????!!!!

Yes, just been there yesterday night. Second highest is 2.81 in holland V in the mrt tunnel there.
