My pass lor... now they announced it this way... want to jump company also susah ler...
how?
my pass is now ep.. soon to be s pass if jump company. is this true? can help me verify?

Can't understand what you're asking. From reading briefly, SG gonna:
- tighten EP eligibility criteria (doesn't exactly say how)
- increase WP and SPass levies
- reduce DRC (foreign worker limit).

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) will place a cap on motor vehicle loans from Tuesday Feb 26.

For a motor vehicle with open market value that does not exceed $20,000, the maximum loan-to-value is 60 per cent of the purchase price, including relevant taxes and the price of the Certificate of Entitlement.

For vehicles with an open market value of more than $20,000, the maximum loan will be capped at 50 per cent.

In addition, the tenure of a motor vehicle loan will be capped at 5 years.

In a statement on Monday, the MAS said: "The financing restrictions are necessary to encourage financial prudence among buyers of motor vehicles. In this prolonged environment of very low interest rates, there is greater risk of buyers over-extending themselves on motor vehicles."

The financing restrictions will not apply to loans for the purchase of commercial vehicles or motorcycles.

Actually, I'm just worried about the pass that I'm holding right now. Currently, I'm EP Q1 but I have the intention to look for other jobs.

Apparently, I'm worry the pass issue as I'm not sure whether it will affect my life in SG.

Damn, hopefully they reduce the car downpayment in few years time.. got the intention to buy car but the COE cry.gif cry.gif

Apply for PEP? Personal EP, no need to tie to any company. But the PEP requirement just went up, last time is a lot easier.

Personal EP if not mistaken, the annual income must reach somewhere... this one is tough.

What if you got the job that can't reach the annual income amount?

@mules,
If u want medical that u can go any gp or specialist, AIA / Chartis advantage 200 worldwide works like medical card in msia, but on reimburseable model. This is what I am looking at for my daughter and also a favourite for ang mohs.

Premium for <18yrs is USD1303/annum for 0 access/loading. doh.gif. So kinda hesitant to buy as we hv gp coverage already.

It is hard even to find a decent priced medical card that cover gp outpatient only as SG gov wants to avoid over consumption (look what is happening at msian private hospitals).

So most health insurance here more on covering hospitalization, accidents and illnesses. E.g, medishield and private medishield linked policies.

For gp n pediatrician, our own pocket money *ouch* but sgrean has their kids 'CDA acc to cover their kids.
