HDB downpayment also 20%? Killing man... Imagine 500k hdb, 20% downpayment + admin fee $18k + COV $15k. Cash need to standby = $133k? Haven't count the renovation too... Can easily to need prepare $150k forĀ  hdb buyer. Imagine as an employee with median income range let say $4k, after cpf $3.2k, how are you gonna save and many years you need to get $150k? I wonder how you guys did that.

Hi is there ISP like unifi in Msia providing fibre optic service ? My current house has no Internet.

Need some help here.
*
Yes..in fact all 3 service providers here in SG namely Singtel/Starhub/M1 has fibre connection. OpenNet is the company responsible to pull the fiber connection/end points to each of the HDB floors/unit. From then its up to the subscriber to choose which service provider

so far most of the call i get are pinoys ...so the speak politely..
also quite hard to be harsh
but then again ..if no money also cant help
XD

btw, a friend of mine kena retreched yesterday by MNC elestronics company yesterday evening
he was asked to leave and packed his stuff that very same stuff ...not even a headsup
for this company, it is the norm for them to retrech the staff and leave the same day.

he was contract and doing Systemsupport in IT dept.
if you have any openings can foward to me ?
*
normally MNC should give a 'package' even if kena retrenched...unless this is a china MNC

Do the singapore government use CPF to sponsor other organizations? Like malaysia, EPF to sponsor PTPTN funds?
*
This is where all our hard earn money in EPF goes bye bye!!....everyone know EPF in Malaysia has got the most funds...OUR hard earned funds/taxpayer's!!....n tell me honestly how many % of the students who gets PTPTN funds really pays if back in FULL!!

Hey guys. I am asking on the behalf of my brother who is a SPM holder with the limited information I have got..

Which job seems better for an unskilled worker like him in Singapore?
1) Restaurant - meals and accommodation are provided; $800; bonded for 2 years
2) Hotel - only accommodation is provided; 2 off days per month; working 12 hours per day; $900

Or both sucks equally? cry.gif (going through recruitment agency)
*
Working hours for restaurants? I think its also close to 12hours per day right?like 10am-10pm or similar? No off days?7 days a week?

okies. I managed to hijack my neighbour wifi password but i am not able to connect even i entered correct password  icon_question.gif

Maybe the 2nd layer of security was being implemented...that is ONLY allow the listed MAC address to connect to the wireless network..so even if u get the wireless key/password...you will still need to get the MAC address that's in that list

OR

You have got the key altogether WRONG?

PM me if have further doubts!! LOL

is it a must to submit form 4A? if that is the case, that implies employer's consent is required since we need them to fill in their capital and revenue but it doesnt mean our application is sponsored by the employer. i thought we can apply PR on our own?  hmm.gif
*
The reality is that the Singapore PR is more like a working PR....then means lets say your PR is valid for 5 years....then towards the 3rd or 4th year...if you intended to get your Re-entry Permit(REP) renewed...then you should be working back in SG...otherwise they'll probably NOT renew your REP....

To me NOT renewing the REP is similar like not getting your PRship being 'renewed'..because once your REP expires and you travel OUT of singapore..you will lose your PR when you re-enter back into Singapore.

OF COURSE Unless one can opt to NOT TRAVEL anywhere OUTSIDE of SG...not even JB/Batam and etc!!!
