Do you have the in-principle letter with you ? you can show that to the immigration officer (SG side) and they sometimes don't even bother processing the white card (happen to a friend of mine). Just fill in everything and leave it to the officer on what he want to do

FYI, the white card will be taken away when your documents are processed in EPSC, so when you exit Singapore after getting your employment card, they no longer need to stamp your passport (so you have entry to SG stamp but not out )

Good luck in on your adventures in SG

Just transfer 21k today, rate was 2.482 at raffles money changer at jurong point. no additional charges.

actually no need to stress la in Singapore, I sometimes hang out with some contractor with side business in joochiet, you will be surprised how much they carry around by cash.

It doesn't matter if you think your salary is above or below the market value.
The only thing you gotta think about is
a) Do you have a job offer that pays more?
b) Can you justify to your employers for being paid more?

i hv no choice, sg rooms very expensive.. hv to suffer for the 1st 2 or 3 months ....hopefully dont hv to work until 10pm...if so no choice!!plus even i can cabut at 6pm, i might go for dinner and hang out until 8 or 9pm just to avoid the traffic..
can wake up 6am++?? i think maybe i need to be at the checkpoint at 530am already..since if my working place could be  at the central region...approx. 2 hrs ++ travelling...

wonder if i stay at second link there? is it called TUAS?? less traffic there? kindly advice

Thanks a lot!!!

when i first came to sg, I didnt know singaproean cant speak malay cause their national anthem was in malay! Only found out when I was having lunch with my new singaporean colleague when I casually use some malay words in my conversation. They couldnt understand me, then only did I know they dont speak Malay. Even malays here speak English.
Just last month, I went to Punggol point for a walk,  pretty popular fishing spot. I saw a few funny looking trap, and asked them what was it (in English), then they mentioned crab. The malay boy jokingly mentioned to his other friend "budak ni tak pernah tengok perangkap ketam".
Then I took a pic of it and replied "Boleh ker? Ni boleh tangkap ketam? Ada ketam kat sini?". The boys looked at each other and started laughing cause I speak malay! Before I left, I told them, "I orang Malaysia la"

Hi all, anyone flew Jetstar SIN-KUL before? Can I carry a luggage + laptop for hand carry?

Sorry ya, only experienced (4 years) applicant can jump queue. Junior level need to follow the normal route. But I think the new recruits should be in already. For KPMG Sg, I think the recruitment starts in March - June, orientation in July.

Interesting comparison table from The Star. The public has always made such comparisons (hence the migration, working overseas etc) although the govt still insists that RM3000 per month salary is "high income" and that the fat lady bought a million dollar diamond ring using her "savings".

Although Singapore is not listed, my feeling is that the ratio to average salary shouldn't look very different from Malaysia actually.

dun compare with aus.. aus is so big... and they are developed... compared with like taiwan... or similar country with similar standings...
