31% rejection rate for s-pass and ep registration so far this year, most of them pass renewal.

nope...utility room is smaller...like storage room.....
common room is the normal rooms that we can normally rent...bigger room space...but no attached bathroom of course!..if u want attach bathroom then u need to rent a MASTER bedroom

Staying in utility room is - last resort.

Renting out utility room is - inhumane

How you find out the statistics? really all pass renewal? i am worried now..

500-600 should be able to get common room.....and probably without aircon....

For a singaporean, renting a utility room as a common room = making "sound financial sense". Not to be mistaken with "common sense".

Singapore might want to consider building more studio apartment aka singles apartment like in korea or japan.

Most probably will be out of my budget, considering with aircon.

How much you looking to rent it for?

oops..this is worrying me cause resigned already but haven't get my EP..

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.

Lol what's the point of giving up PR when you can only withdraw at 55 years old? It's the same as not giving up your PR. Legal withdrawing of CPF is 55 for both PR and Singaporeans . If I can tahan till 55, I don't even need to withdraw already . Just wait another 5 years till 60 can withdraw everything

For a foreigner its a no-no to accept jobs with no basic pay.
This is becuase if you sueh-sueh cannot get sales for a particular month, you will have NO PAY!
How are you goona pay the sky high rent, utility bills, food and other essentials?
And what happens if your sueh-ness continue for another 2-3 month especially since yr new here and have no contacts (which you will need time to build) ?
You're gonna sleep under the bridge? Eat the leftovers KFC/McDonalds ?
How?

My workplace is at yishun area. So you recommend me to stay to those places that you mentioned? How is the traffic condition for the causeway link? Is it very terrible? If I reaching JB immigration at 0645, do I manage to reach my workplace at 0730?

I'm not trying to convince you of anything.

I'm merely responding to your earlier statement below that "Malaysians from Peninsula can never withdraw their CPF unless they migrate and surrender their Malaysian citizenship and never return to Malaysia... Even you surrender your PR still same thing."

I'm just pointing out that it is incorrect.

And don't your two statements: "Just wait another 5 years till 60 can withdraw everything" and "Malaysians from Peninsula can never withdraw their CPF" completely contradict each other?

Just another question guys. I'm free next week from mon to wed. Do you think it's any use to go sg to look for jobs?

URA sees things differently leh. They trying to reduce those small shoebox flats. http://bizdaily.com.sg/newsite/singapore-i...-shoebox-units/


No use. If you want to "look for job in SG," you need to come down and expect to stay here for 1-3 (or more) months. 3 days here you have almost zero chance of scoring any interview.

I am not saying you are trying to convince me in anything. Well take it as I posted too fast without putting in too much details then. Yes you are right about the withdrawal and no I am not contridicting. My intention was just to make clear that if you surrender your PR before the legal binding age of withdrawing CPF, you still cannot withdraw if you are staying and residing in West Malaysia.

Yup you pointed the correct thing. Yes you are correct . Cheers

By the way I think I did mentioned "The rules govern will be the same as Singaporeans unless you migrate to somewhere and surrender your Malaysian citizenship and never return to Malaysia"

How do you LOOK for jobs?

3 days random walk-in style? Get a copy of wan pao or sin Ming and start calling.

Else, most jobs need your CV and an appointment for interview.
