oo..what i mean is the distance from taxi stand at CIQ to the checkpoint gate.

I see. I have the impression the word "convert" means being replaced .SO basically is applying for Singapore driving license based on your existing Malaysian license right? You will still get to keep your malaysian driving license. Is that right? Better quickly convert before gov change any policy.

yeap.

err... can elaborate, why would JB JPJ black list if you just asking them for track record? Saman all bayar etc. Extort money? we can report them yes?

Errrr most countries make exemptions for tourists lah. Like Malaysians driving in SG, they drive with Malaysian license what. I've also rented (and drove) cars in Australia and UK using my Malaysian license.

By right, if you convert your license to Sg license, JPJ would cancel your Msia license, then you will not be able to renew your road tax (if i remember correctly), so JPJ Johor is notorious in asking for more "processing fee" if you want to maintain 2 license.



But if you travel a little further. say to KL, JPJ in KL wont cancel your license unless you openly declare you wanna get a Sg license.

no problem with LHDN. i understand its due to a tax treaty agreement signed btw two goverment.
just make sure you keep your yearly sin IRA assessment in a file at home till you die

SIN assestment can get online wan mah
so no problem whatsovever.

1) Borrow lower than bank evaluation and lower than 80% for the first house. Bank usually approve.

2) If you already have the intention to include your parent in your will for that house. Add one or both of them to the title. Mutually you service the loan but your parent's credit history helps to secure the loan.

3) If you have banker friends... then ask them for helps.

I've been applying jobs after jobs for almost 2 months now and I'm really just not getting responses. This is quite disheartening.

Arent you in audit?

Still am. 4 years in KL already doing audit. But Singapore ain't calling!!!

It means that she held EP for 2 years before she applied for PR, am I right? (one year from each company respectively)

I would definitely appreciate if you don't mind to share her salary (when she applied for PR).

Your resume needs some polishing to do then. Usually pretty easy to get into audit singapore with your kind of experience.

I've actually applied International License from JPJ before for driving in one of the foreign country I visited. It's in a booklet form. Did that cause I'm not sure you could use license from right-hand-drive countries to drive in left-hand-drive countries ?

I have posted this before, officially Malaysian converting to Singapore driving license has to 'surrender' or have their M'sian driving license revoked.

Officially there is a law that requires our Malaysian driving licence revoked if anyone would like to convert the licence to a Singapore driving licence. See the extract below from the JPJ Driver’s Education Curriculum handbook (on page 113 – 114). It does add on that one can still get back a Malaysian driving licence and that whilst holding a Singapore driving licence one can still drive a Malaysian registered car in Malaysia and Singapore.

So to say JPJ blacklist your Malaysian driving license is not correct and misguided, they are just doing their job as required by law. However many would like to keep both driving license, hence the 'extortion'.
