Hi, if I am working full time with a company that is sponsoring my working permit, can I still get a part time job?

Base on your age and skill set, what is the odds to find a 5.5k engineering job (factor in 10% increment) in 10 months (the extra 50k should last for 10 months) ?

They did expand the test center.

A quick check on one of the newer center revealed you did not pick earlier slot.

This time I agree a person have to learn to fish instead of asking for bigger pond with more fish.

Use the net. There are 3 test center.

I did look into Bukit Batok DC and SSDC. It appears that SSDC requires 1.5 months wait while I was told BBDC's waiting time is longer than SSBC. Another one is Ubi I guess? I'll look into it later.

Thanks!

Just saw there was no refund if you cancel your test date. Better verify with them is the rescheduling is FOC. Iirc, we can change our test date twice for free. I took my test at old sdsc amk branch. There was eye sight test and colour blind test too when I submit the application.

Anyone converted their msian driving license recently? I tried to book a basic theory test (BTT) but it seems that the earliest date I can sit for the test is on the next Nov 21. Wondering why need to wait so long... Or is there anyway that I can sit for the test faster?

Thanks!

Bro, your job need you to drive in Singapore? Look like I am in same shoes with you if I got my work permit approve. So you plan to drive Malaysia or Singapore registered car?

I will be driving my company’s car. Have you booked your BTT already? If not, book now! Because there is no expiry on BTT test, so it might come in handy if you need to convert your driving license later since the waiting period is so long.

Any idea on the eligibility of our Malaysian driving license? I am not sure about the English translation part as our license is written in Malay. Think Malay should be OK since it’s the national language. But oh well just wanna be sure..

Can. But Car > Taxi. Lets say you are at some remote place and it is almost impossible to find a cab, you will see how convenient driving is. Some cabbies won't go to remote place even if you call for them. Since my company provided a car for me, I don't have to bear to cost of owning a car, so I'll choose to drive.

But sometimes finding parking slot can be difficult ohmy.gif
