you may refer to post #1441, and then read my possible interpretations. Then you may not be so confuse. haha

Possibly 80% of 6,500 = SGD 5,200.
However, he factors in shift/overtime in his MYR pay, so the % might go up?

Thanks keelim.
It seems the honorary citizenship is awarded rather than through application.

Local U with T? i didn't know other than Taylors college? not reputable at all. Only reputable U as a bunch of Rich fag U.
My bro gonna grad from UM soon. IT field. I also advise him to accept whatever that will be offered to him as long as its 2k and above.
you will have a lot of chance to jump ship later on. just set your foot down 1st.

Seconded!
My sister graduated with a degree in Nursing from University of Adelaide has been offered below 2.5K exclude housing allowance by one of the government hospitals here.
One of my ex-colleague from UM is only getting $1.8K-$2K as a purchaser after 3~4 years working in Singapore. And UM is reputable here in Singapore except her field of studies is not as rosy as engineering.

Nursing is one of the most sought after profession in any country. Given the aging population in Singapore and the amount of public spending on healthcare, your sister is coming at the right time.
*
Fingers are crossed for that.
She has better prospects in Australia but due to certain reasons and the proximity to family members, Singapore is indeed the best bet for now.

for nursing is diff ler... when u start off fresh, your pay will not be much diff from the nurses without degrees... after 3-4 years then the gap will increase... how old is your sister?

Spot on.
What she's doing now is to secure a job first, gain some experience and see how it goes.
Her age is irrelevant here sweat.gif

age does matter in nursing as they restrict younger ones irregardless to experience to mundane task..

Ice cream vendors got licence. Those people performing arts on the street also need licence.

imo, this is actually a bad advise
u should live ur life fully aware of ur surroundings all the time and protect urself all the time...no matter the place u are have a high or low crime rate
because of the slack due to habit staying at a place with lower crime rate, u cannot adapt immediately and carelessness happens.
*
I agreed with this.
There are robberies, break-ins, rapes, assaults/molest and murders committed here.

So, no one working in Singtel? Looking at it from Glassdoor, seems like not too many Singaporeans are happy with the company, especially at mid-management level lol.
*
Have you wondered why are they still working if fueled with so much unhappiness?
Tell me how many people are 100% happy with their company? Even if I work at this place, my experience is going to be different than what you're going to experience. Look at the contract terms and remuneration, if you are sold then join la. If not, look elsewhere.

^^The pay scale is just a benchmark. Ideally, yes, why not?

We cannot make a definite comparison. What you can buy with SGD800 doesn't equate what you can buy with MYR1000, the spending power is different. People are attracted to the high conversion rate to work here.

It looks like they are trying to curb the housing price with more strigent rules.
Those greedy sellers will have a hard time selling their flats at premium prices because it's hardly affordable to purchase a resale flat now.

If they cannot sell, they can at least rent. Not sure if this will have any direct impact on rental but seems like it's harder to rent out rooms compared to last year.

And I read somewhere, flats with a remaining lease of 60 years will have to take shorter lease, lower margin of mortgage.

Out of reach liao even got 100K cash.

i thought for downpayment, u can only pay up to 10 or was it 15% of the amount only with cpf.
the remaining 10 or 5% still needs to be in cash.
*
5% cash I think.
COV is no longer 10K~20K.

Three (3) big ticket items are omitted from your back-of-the-envelope calculation; Agent fees; CoV; and renovation (inclusive of furniture). CoV and reno are fairly intertwined but more influenced by strategic positioning. For the record, bank can no longer subsidize legal fees.

That’s not my point anyway. What’s disturbing is your calculation pointed to a miserable hardship for 2 university graduates to save and purchase a 70-80 sqm rundown apartment, in the outskirt of SG. For the same effort, could they have done better by staying put in Msia? Previously the option was pretty obvious; but recent policies and in-the-making plans are obviously tilting the option, leaning against coming down south for the long term.

keelim,

You were hunting previously, have you bought one yet? Or are you having second thought?

Females eat less and so it's only fair that they pay less too.

This 'subsidy' is totally and completely unrelated to the current guest list being more male than female therefore it would be nice to have more girls join us this time tongue.gif

You definately have not met any female that eats like a cow (4 stomachs and not the size).

What holiday? If it's related to Punggol East by-election, then no since here was no public holiday given during the Hougang by-election last year.

In the organisation I work in, some of the departments have ridiculous naming conventions. Fresh grad right out of college as long as got a degree already "Assistant Manager." Their seniors are "Managers" who then report to "Senior Managers." So by title only Senior Manager but by responsibility and payscale is probably just a junior management position doh.gif
*
Job title will benefit the company especially for frontliners in service sector/sales department.

Do you want a fund manager or an executive to manage your equity fund? laugh.gif

Me too! But my year don't have the pangkat classification anymore. Sejarah, Moral... don't know what for... Most of the time went smoking in the toilet. Luckily still can get a job here.

There must be a reason why these subjects are taught, not just in Malaysia.
It was reported that MOE has started to incorporate moral values into their current subjects.

Don't they sound like the malays in malaysia to you?
They want malays to dominate the economy but they don't want to work hard for it.
They complain the malaysian chinese are racist in employment opportunities but they don't realise they lack even basic communication skills.
They want more money but they don't want to work for it.
They want others to talk in languages they can understand but they don't want to learn another language.
Basically they just want to sit down, do nothing and wait for the money, lots of money to drop from the sky.
When they don't get it, they blame the gov who is currently bending backwards to their every whim and fancy
*
Everywhere is the same.
Therein lies the problem when the sense of entitlement is off the charts. Everyone is looking for the best bargain. They want the best quality with a little to pay. When they didn't get what they want, it's just convenient to point finger.

I am also sick of SPRs saying if the population were to increase to the projected figure, they might have to take the train like in India (sardine in a can). Sharing crowded facilities with other races (yes specified race & nationality).. shakehead.gif
