Hi all, just curious for those working in SG, where do you mainly save/invest your money? Malaysia or Singapore?

SG la, last time my fren invested in RWS SG, then profit about $120K...

If you are talking about the share counter, their price drop alot.

If you are talking about their gambling counter, you should also mentioned how many people took their own live at the end of their investment.

How much have you invested in RWS so far?

everything taste sweet....

I talking about share counter la, he bought it during IPO time.

Wow, you frens must either very knowledgeable or have insider information or just very lucky... haha

I'm currently save in Malaysia FD... but considering every time i also loose a bit of $$ due to exchange rate... so far still unable to find any better place to park my money in SG for short term...

Can invest in SG properties yo...

Does anyone know what is the average salary for fresh network engineer in SG for (degree grad in Malaysia).

Does anyone have IT network related job can intro to me?

>.< Already look for 2 month but no news so far.

cause most of the cheap food is cooked by prcs? or it is being too commercialized already, factory style..

You mean Genting Sg?

If he bought during IPO at $0.35, and then sold during the historical high range >$2, he would have needed to invest $20K and hold on until it hit 600% profit margin. That is hard to believe because human nature will usually sell once it goes 100-200% especially for IPO shares because of the windfall feeling. Your friend has very strong conviction and acumen.

sg do have a lot of nice restaurant that serve top notch food and they have so many top chef in Singapore. so, which one have you tried ?

The best food i've tasted in my life so is in Sg - a restaurant not kopitiam.
The roadside food quality drops due to outsourcing issue. Noodles done by factory, cook by foreigners kuli etc. M'sia is not far behid this phenomena as no 2nd gen wish to take over. Look at penang, it's like a Singapore in 1980s... Soon all the famous Penang stalls will be gone.

in fact there are tons of nice restaurants provide nice food out there, like Japanese, Korean, Italian, Western, Chinese & Fusion restaurants. If you always eat at hawker ctr then yeah, most of the food in hawker sucks.

Most of the higher end food is better in SG than in MY. Even the Chinese restaurants (like Imperial Treasure, Lei Garden or specialist Crystal Jade eg. Peking Duck, La Mian Xiao Long Bao or Palace rather than Kitchen) are up to par with the best in KL and Ipoh. Western, Japanese and Korean etc are hands down better in SG.

Mainstream shopping center chain restaurants are exactly the same on both sides of the causeway. Indeed the uniformity of food quality (or the reverse) is the entire point.

For food court stuff... Food Republic is not bad. But the rest like Food Junction, S22, HDB food centers etc. are simply not up to the standard of some of the better coffee shop stalls in KL or Ipoh. But then again... if you're a local and you grew up here, you'd know exactly which stall in which food center has the best xxx, yyy etc - just like I know for KL and Ipoh. The fact that we are foreigners means that we typically go for convenience instead of cari makan... and that will lead you to the "chain" food court stalls manned by the banglas etc. Most stalls selling similar stuff are run by single operators who run tens or even hundreds of individual stalls in food courts all over Singapore.

Hi guys,

I will start work at SG in November and need some advice. My office is located at Jurong Island. Is mit more economical to rent at Nusajaya and drive my car there every day? Office starts at 8 am so what time do I need to leave for work?

driving to work is always good. 2nd link traffic also not that bad. You could probably leave as late as 7am

hi, let say a fresh malaysian graduate works at sg for 3 month and decided to resign as the job is no no. Should him include the job experience into the resume for another job search in sg or just let it be?

better drive lor, nearby only...

Change job? i thought you are one of those just get job? anything you learn from your previous job? because 3 month sometimes is just not enough for you to learn thing, only included experience where when interviewer ask you and you able to tell them what you do in previous job.

I am still with the company but it's just that after a few month here i just don't think i am suitable for the job. I works for 11-12 hours 6 days a week and it is physically demanding as it is site work
