QUOTE(joeblows @ Jan 15 2013, 09:42 PM) Guys, looks like I will be working at Singtel in the near future. It'll be based in Comcentre, along Exeter Rd near Somerset MRT. It's quite a well-paid job, and I gather there will be some among of overtime. Assuming I rent nearby (room in a D09 and D10 Condo) within walking distance, do you think the additional cost will make up for the savings in Public Transport cost? Of course MRT is cheap, but if I have to get a cab back during late nights it'll be quite expensive. can consider driving since you have a well paid job. save you quite a lot of time.

QUOTE(realventis @ Jan 16 2013, 03:39 PM) Thanks for the feedback  1. Frangance hotel seems to be expensive for me. I was wondering if any backpackers inn situated around Jurong? It seems all the backpackers were concentrated around Chinatown. Any near backpackers inn that within 30 mins journey to Boon Lay or Jurong East? 2. and 3. Thanks for the observattion. I don't recall there's any backpackers lodge in Jurong area. Jurong is an industrial area, I doubt ordinary tourist backpackers would wanna stay there.

QUOTE(Sky_Q @ Jan 21 2013, 10:07 AM) hi guys...i planning to drive a car into singapore but the malaysia car is not registered under my name.. looked into LTA website and it mentioned the car must b registered under my name... does this rule need to be strictly followed? Thanks..I am a malaysian under work permit pass... of coz it gotta be follow, else why put it there in the 1st place. maybe because it's complicate to settle the insurance (in the event of accident) if owner not around.

QUOTE(yhoong12 @ Jan 21 2013, 10:03 AM) Which education is better? MY or SG? i not sure about SG, but i pretty sure that MY education still better when i was young, because i mastered 3 language, chinese, english and malay. now i also not sure if i have kids, where do i intend to let them start childhood education. Do you really want your kid to enter an education system where they can't even decide on what medium to use to teach ? definitely not me. really a joke with the Malay-English flip-flop policy. Probably the only thing they missed out is Malay language. Not a big deal coz its not really a 'superior' language to begins with. This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Jan 21 2013, 10:54 AM

QUOTE(Tigerr @ Jan 22 2013, 08:15 AM) They never check the ownership of the car. My wife drive my Malaysia plate car into Singapore and successfully register n get a cash card at the immigration without checking it. I was worried also if they reject it and I can't go n drive the car in. nah. probably won't bother you. unless one is involved in accident. only then things get messy, especially insurance claim, since one is using an 'unlawful' vehicle, so to speak. other than that, you are fine.

QUOTE(Soralicious @ Jan 27 2013, 11:15 AM) guys, what to fill for the white card "duration of stay" if im going to sg for work? since the amount of days i stay will be indefinite.. days before you get your work permit. you are not suppose to work before you get your permit and you'll surrender the white card one you get the work permit.

QUOTE(samual8833 @ Jan 31 2013, 05:30 PM) Maybe, it is because of their 1st job offer in sg! And, they don't really know what is the "Reasonable salaries" should get in SG!... That's truth... Quite many M'sian are bottom feeders but not all lah!... So, what is ur salary range in SG? normally MNC would have a salary structures for every position, at very least a minimum and maximum scale

QUOTE(Mophisto @ Feb 1 2013, 10:25 AM) me sked to reply here cause the heat of the debate is stronk. Soli i lari tajuk, can i ask if it is better to assembly my PC in johor or kl then i carry it over to the money land? Mr kastam will ok with me? Where do you guys get your PC? Sorry i cant find other places to ask this else then here. I am heavy gamer, le me checking the SG prices for hardware really hurting the pocket. Then for warranty claim carry back to JB ? Custom side shouldn't be a problem, just declare it. With all the hassle, might as well just get in Sg. Or best get an heavyweight Alienware laptop.

QUOTE(mules @ Feb 1 2013, 11:33 PM) any suggestion on moving things from taiping to singapore? Got hired taxi service ? really pening this migration thinggy don't believe there's such a service in Taiping but JB definitely have. Last round I've hired a lorry to move my stuffs, they settle all the paperworks for Msia and Sg sides of immigration, inclusived of the declaration/taxes. You can actually go to their office and ask, it's just nearby the Msia custom entrance for lorries.

QUOTE(junky_89 @ Feb 3 2013, 02:30 PM) hi, i would like to ask if i am a e pass holder, can i use the eiacs directly during custom instead of scanning at the custom officer there? do i need the access card to pass the gate before that? as i was told that i need to register the access card from my other friends. heard you could register for the card at their immigration office at woodland at the departure side. normally the card for day travellers, like those staying in JB. you need to pay for the card.

QUOTE(deodorant @ Feb 3 2013, 04:04 PM) no need. once you've done your fingerprinting at EPSC than can liao. just scan your passport at the auto gate and use your thumbprint. No need to even show your EP card to anybody. using passport is actually a slow process for day travelers. he is asking for the express card. tap and go. probably you haven't seen one in action.
