if u have ep, then ur passport, ep, and employee card is required. Deposit is waived for ep.

I would think otherwise i.e. start in SG with a second/third tier company then jump to a MNC.
At the very least the SG company will not discount your experience.
Also pay wise you will have an increment instead of a salary cut or no increase in salary i.e. they pay dollar for dollar.

Hi all, I'll be working in Singapore in next month, and currently looking for the accommodation.

May I know what is the rental for a room with bathroom in HDB? Thanks.

I wanna ask you guys, i'm graduating with an IT degree end of this year, well technically I have to do my intern from november to january then I'll be officially done with studies and I hope i can get to SG to work so..

1) should i skip looking for intern in SG and just focus in MY first to complete my intern
2) when I'm done with my intern, i hope i can work in a MNC in SG but i realise thats hard, so maybe just by joining a SME first but its that the right mentality?

or anyone has better suggestions on what I should do.. would like to hear from someone who grad and work there straight too

1000? Redhill/tiongbahru green line nearby town..master bedroom they asking 1200-1300 ar!!for 2 persons of course..if 1 person maybe less 100 bucks only!!

well, i was thinking of renouncing my pr. lol. Will be planning to go aus to try out.

Thank you for the answer I was looking for someone to tell me these kind of things. As for MNC hmm WD, Accenture or whichever are there but ya like you said..  I think a trip to SG will be fruitful. When applying for jobs in SG, do you tell them upfront you're a Malaysian?

Never try to renounce your Singapore PR unless you are very confident that you will not work in Singapore anymore. Singapore immigration is very strict with those who rejected or renounce their PR or citizenship. I have a friend who tried to outplay the law by skipping NS, then tried to come back by saying that he has to serve the bond (He was bonded with the Singapore Gov to work in Singapore for 3 years as he enjoyed some study subsidy in Poly), but Immigration says, No Thanks. Did not grant him an EP pass despite numerous appeal.

So, think twice. Btw, Aus aint easy as well. My bf's bro is now in Aussie on working pass but couldnt get a job despite a qualified engineer and has banking experience.[I] So, go only with a confirmed job offer.

Hmm looks like a trip south maybe at the end of oct... another question I hope its not too stupid here goes, I'm starting my intern on 1st Nov(ideal situation) till 1st Feb 2013, so do you think if i go and look for a job at the end of oct 2012.. its too far?

Thanks for the replies. Anyway, how much salary do you think it is worth to take a master room at this price? I'm not a big spender. Thanks 

It is a letter from Mindef just send me a letter on this title "Notification of national service registration", so i guess it is kind of applying for NS. While from other forum some says just apply for it as u might not need to serve NS. So i am not sure bout it. It is an online registration and never stated report to any centre on which date.

So do you mean my choice of design engineer (office-based work) is better?

still finding it hard to get job... i think might take the risk and travel down to get a job.. anyone know what are the chances?

Hi all, I'm EP holder and need advice here...

I tendered my resignation last week and last day should be end of Sept. I've confirmed with future employer that be starting my new job on 1st Oct.

However manager approached me today and advised me to take layoff package instead but end date will be another month later (end of Oct). I was asked to negotiate with future employer if I can join 1 month later.
If go by layoff package, I will be compensated in terms of $$, but I heard those that took layoff package will not be allowed to re-join current company in future.

And after talking to management, they seems favoring me to take layoff package than standard resignation.

I'm still figuring out whats the logic... have yet to receive terms and conditions regarding the layoff package too...
Perhaps someone here can shed some lights for me...

Thanks in advance.

Hey lads, can anyone shed some light about the state of job markets in singapore? i'm looking to expand my options for jobs within the financial or mgmt consulting sector? And one more thing i'm curious about! Is it true Singaporean employers tend to value their elite grad highly as compared to ranked foreign university? or is it just a myth

But what quality of experience would you have gained if you did not start out from a quality university?

my parents and my brothers are in Malaysia but I am not married . Still single. Hmm too many reasons to list down why I return but I will just jot down some main considerations..

(1) My roots is in Malaysia. Although I have friends in Singapore but I do value friends that I have in Malaysia since my kindergarten time till now.
(2) Malaysians don't have demanding power unlike 10+ years ago. Now there are too many foreigners from other countries which exchange rate is lower than Malaysia. Yes exchange rate now is 1 sing to 2.5 ringgit but there are other countries which is 10x or 20x more so they are willing to take lower pay
(3) You got to constantly upgrading and climb. Yes you can do it at certain age but for someone like me who is turning 40 soon and still stuck in the mid management level, I value personal time more than putting 24hours into a company
(4) If you can save in Singapore, I believe you can save more in Malaysia if you were to use the same lifestyle in both countries
(5) Lastly with pun intended , in Malaysia you not happy with the government you can still have voice and rights to choose. In other countries, you just complain and suck it up. Nothing much can be done
The only few things I can agree about Singapore being better is the transport system. You can really get to places even the most remote sites without much problem. Security is another thing. You can just walk alone in the street at 3am with your wallet in your hand and no one would come and snatch it from you. Other than that, it's always 2 side of a coin. There are things better in Malaysia and there are things better in Singapore.

If you are getting 4k in malaysia and u get the same 4k sing dollars in Singapore, my advice is forget about going to Singapore. If you are getting more than 5k in Singapore then yes give it a shot in Singapore.

Oh let's not forget, there is not much mamak for you to hang out past midnight

is not end of the story yet, he might return back to sg 
well i did the same thing hahaha 

Hi guys, my situation is like this, a young married couple, got job offer in the UK, however due to working permit application is still in process and it takes time, my employer is suggesting me to work from their SG office until my UK working permit is sorted, may be only 2 - 4 months time (im guessing)

Questions:

1. The office is in this post code 169204 , from google map i understand it is not near to JB, but I'd like to know if I travel from JB daily by a car, how much time should I be expecting and money on fuel or tol?

2. How easy to find room for couple (that allows cooking  )? I read many forums and advertisement, most room i saw so far are for single person and do not allow cooking, I am asking this because my wife loves cooking and that is the activity she can do at home while I work.

Any ideas or thought are welcome!! Million thanks in advance!!

I am not sure either. He works from 3.30 pm till 5.30 am.

After settling down, I am sure he will find ways to make his life easy.
