congrats...so maybe u can answer me the question of the cpf encashment question i raised last time now.
so your cpf is now is 20%/16% (3rd year) straight or 5%/4% (1st year) and remaining 11% from employer still encashed to you.

sorry bro didnt realize u asked me about this.
to be honest i am not sure about this as i havent go for the formalities and am not officially PR yet. haha..
i believe you have the choice of full contribution and partial contribution. in the case of partial contribution, i THINK the remaining will not be encashed to u... but let me confirm and get back to u once everytihng is done.

sure, no problem

Hi may I know what industry you're in?

Logically speaking, yes, right? P1 EP means you already earning $8k/month, which implies you are more desireable due to your skillset/experience/capability/whatever.

You need a minimum 6 months of salary pay slips.

you do know that there are 3 levels of EP, right?

It's P1, P2 and Q: http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/pas...es/default.aspx

Do you fit into the P1 category?

Why so rush to apply for PR?

There is nothing much a PR can do for you if you already have the money and skill to move around.

wow P1 leh , quite rare in the forum

True. For many like us, it's out of reach

The letter is written in Bahasa Melayu. It stated that i will be graduated at Oct (subjected to result and fulfill the requirement of graduation). Anyway i had just received the degree certificate from my uni. My last step is go to MOM and collect my pass.

You mean like the Yes! 4G prepaid mobile broadband? here almost all broadband is provided by Telcos, i recall that if you paid 30++ like that and you can get unlimited data plan. will never have bill shock.

But all the broadband i see come with 2 years contract. Do i need to provide anything to sign up the plan? So far i haven't collect my employment pass, only with IPA.

Telco doesn't accept IPA. Only banks do. you can try prepaid mobile internet. I believe passport should be good enough for those.

If you want to sign contract, you will need your pass(not IPA), proof of billing within 3 month(to verify the address you given is the place you still staying).

Never know written in Malay would be accepted. Anyway my application has been approved Now waiting for IPA.
Thanks for the information anyway!

But when my friend apply for OCBC saving account, they refused to accept with IPA

hi all, wanna ask. . anybody heard of turbine overhaul services before? its a pratt and whitney company. .

they offer me the job facilities and equipment engineer. . is it a good place to work at?

need some info on this company. ......

Yup, OCBC does not accept IPA, they once say POSB accept IPA, even passport also can, but i never try it. apply for OCBC after get my pass.

Last i checked, only POSB Chinatown branch accept IPA (needs employer to fill up a documents too for them to process).
