But that is still entirely incorrect.

Upon giving up one's SG PR...

1. The limitation is only applicable to Malaysians residing permanently in West Malaysian (ie. West Malaysians). It doesn't not apply to East Malaysians. If you change your residency (albeit permanently) from West to East Malaysia, you can withdraw your CPF in full just like everybody else.

2. Even if you reside in West Malaysia, you can still withdraw when your 55, or even earlier at 50 if you have not worked in SG for 2 years below that (ie. you stop working in SG when you're 48... and not necessarily give up your PR at 48).

So, it's a matter of residency in West Malaysia, not citizenship of Malaysia.


3. And after giving up your PR, you will never be 'the same as Singaporeans' no matter what. The Minimum Sum and Medisave Minimum Sum will not apply to you. And my guess is that CPF Life will be compulsory instead of opt out by the time we retire, and that too will not apply to non PRs.

probably you'll be in woodlands by 0730, if you are lucky.

For item 1, it's not possible. I have checked with the officer from CPF board before. Even you were to change your address permanently to Sabah or Sarawak, you still cannot withdraw because they base on birth cerificate and not IC. Anyway don't quote me on this as I was told by the officer. I have checked alll means about how to withdraw out my cpf. And in my earlier post I did mentioned Sabahans and Sarawakians are able to withdraw their CPF and return to Sabah or Sarawak. I didn't use the word going back permanently because they are still able to return to Singapore and contribute back to CPF etc. I shall not go there into details

Item 2 I got no comment as I didn't check on that.

Item 3, I can't comment and don't wish to comment. All I did mentioned was even I give up my PR I can't withdraw my cpf now and also mentioned West Malaysians withdrawing of CPF is the same as what governs Singaporean. Don't try to mix the 2 together

Also I believe you were the one who said West Malaysian can withdraw all their CPF in your Post #2429 but now you are saying otherwise in item 3. So ain't you contridictinig about your own statement also?

Let's face it, you can make corrections and I am all good but please don't get personal and trying to pick on me. The word entirely incorrect as far as I know means none of what I state is true. Anyway neither you nor me can give a complete detail explanation about withdrawing CPF

I got mine.. Stay in Singapore 1 year, then move to JB. Got my pr after working here 2 years.

We are looking for single Malaysian Chinese tenant, $500 for the room. PM me for more info.

Hi guy, anyone here know is that any vacancy in network engineer job which suitable for freshie to join in Singapore? I am currently a EP holder with one year working experience in system engineer position. I have 4 CCNA academic certificate but still don't get my CCNA final exam certificate yet.

need help here..
my EP application status with remark " Pending inputs from vetting agencies. Expected outcome is 2 months from the Date of Application."..
2months Has anyone seen this b4?

you still have to give a Sg residential address in your application

Going to change field from system engineer to network engineer?
can i ask why?

hi, let's say a EP holder want to resign and get another job in sg, what would the proper way to do it? Cancel current EP and let future employer apply new EP? How long it will take? Thanks

Yes..normally this is how its done...your current company HR will cancel the EP...then your future employer will need to apply a new EP...how long it depends? can take u within a week to a month or 2 for a reply? As WHAT IF MOM rejects your new company's EP application...

Submit the form and you'll get a formal assessment. Don't ask the officer over the counter.

And your original statement didn't mention anything about residency. You specifically mentioned giving up Malaysian citizenship. THAT was the gist of my attempt to correct you.

That was NOT "all" you mentioned. You had used a bunch of motherhood statements. I corrected that.

I am not saying otherwise. Read the post again.

I'm not getting personal. I'm just being precise. The statement of yours that I quoted is entirely wrong.

And I'm not giving complete details. I'm merely correcting the motherhood statements that you made.

And the complete details are available on CPF's website, as well as the explanatory notes in the withdrawal application form.

I'm thinking of going through the papers and maybe making a call or two or something.. i don't know either
tried the internet portal eg jobstreet but, haha not much response 3 of my applications were unsuccesful already guess just need to try even more

Actually, I am looking for network eng job since I grad(just at year 2010), and yes my current company offer me a position on network eng, but what actually work is like system eng(installing software, crone machine, deploy machine to new staff, or collect back machine from exiting staff that all ), so i call my self as system eng. >..<

Even if newspaper, they also need time to arrange for your interview, 2~3 days is not enough for it.but just give it a try, if your financial is not an issue.

Added on September 12, 2012, 1:39 pmOh, more like IS support i think, but all the cert you gained, is also will lead you back to the same job, network engineer might be referring to internal network engineer and mostly will bao ka liao...

You want to work as network engineer, i think you wan to work related to internet stuff, i mean work online, correct me if i am wrong, then why not try software engineer?

erm as my programming skill is not that strong so I didnt think on software eng. haha. But for network engineer what I looking for is doing router switch configuration.

But as i recall, this kind of router switch configuration job is more for system support, internal IS support of that kind of job.
maybe you can try on the three telco company, as they have the widest network in singapore.

IP/MPLS? BGP/VRRP?
