Hi guys, I'm in the process of applying for PR right now.

However, the accompanying notes state that I should include a testimonial of my PREVIOUS employer stating the nature and duration of my work, and the last drawn basic salary.

I'm wondering if a record of my employment contract with them would suffice, or do I actually have to ring them up and ask for them to actually write me a testimonial? please advise.

yes, physically a piece of yellow? paper..
need to go ICA to settle it b4 i can apply EP again...

yellow paper? i thought just an a4 paper the ica print the details on

old school..issued in year 2003..

free vep up to 10 day per car fr MY registered car, if u got bro sis mom dad cousin that own car but nvr drive to Sg, can exchange car with them to drive in SG.

Is this thomsom line also known as down town line?? m kinda confused

Well, depends on location. However, what u looking for is master bedroom. Estimated around 800-1000 (still depends location).

Erm guys, as i had gotten my PR through my wife, and now i receive a letter asking me to register for NS, should i fill for it? Is there anyway to avoid it? Ignore it?

Need some advice. Thanks.

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

how much u earn is not the factor.
how much u value not sharing the bathroom with others is.   

My advice to you is never take a layoff package unless you are getting more than 6 months payback. If it's only one or 2 months, just let it go and move to your new company.

Moreover being layoff is not favourable for your portfolio if you really apply for big companies that do background check. You might save another employee because your boss don't need to layoff someone but choice is yours to consider.

I have worked and stayed in Singapore for nearly 20 years and I just came back to KL and work this month. Can PM me if you need questions answered.

is not end of the story yet, he might return back to sg

haha.. me too. SG-KL-SG 
but haven't get my EP.. applied on Monday.. not sure how long it will take.. 

i got PR last time but expired.. so need to apply EP instead.. .. still waiting 

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!!

Yup, illegal  he said his boss will settle his working permit for him.. just hope that everything will be alright at the end of the day

If he is caught, he might be blacklisted and barred from working in Singapore, I assume?

My parents follow up with him every day. Now, he sleeps on sofa and has to walk 45 minutes to work every day

Thanks for the input pal. My company in the UK does not seem to know much of the hassle staying in Singapore temporary but they are willing to sort out the Employment Pass and accomodation for 1st 2 weeks etc. .

Skipping SG maybe possible if the EP application process time is long, but i presume it will be much quicker compare to UK permit application.

If I do not need to pay tax in the UK, I am happy with the personal income tax in SG. I'll do some research on the tax in the UK.

Not sure how and what type of pass my company is going to apply for me, thus far, I only submit the paperwork required by them.

Hopefully something new turn up from the UK side this month.
