Family's CV? not sure......when i got my PR back then...ICA didn't ask me to furbish further information

Recently I just reject from getting a PR when interview.
This is the second time they offer.
Why they offer me.?
Because my parents is PR going Citizen soon and my young sister is PR study at here
The reason is I dont want is because deduct 20% cpf and Im not long term at Singapore.

Hi guys, can you share some experience on relocating to SG? Im going there next week and will bring my whole desktop rig and luggage. Do I need to go through red lane at customs and declare? All my stuff are more than three months old but I dont have any receipts as supporting documents. Appreciate your advice. TQ

just go on the green lane......its for personal usage....not like u gonna sell/make money

you still need to declare no matter who use it and what you use it for.

Hey, so is there going to be a gathering for the malaysian's working here in singapore anytime soon? I think I've only met everyone once and I'm pretty sure there are alot of new faces.

Can't help you, all my stuff was relocated by a relocation service separately from my entry into SG.


PM Lester1987 or MacKiddo, they are the main taikors who arrange any meet-ups.

Inquire the on duty fellow right after you arrive. Without the receipts is fine, try not to pack your stuff with new box and tied up like new packaging or most likely you will be call to visit their office.
The other way is pretending innocence by entering as usual until they ask to. My 2 cents

If your are walking to the check point or air port. They will ask you to take out your labtop before X-ray. Been carrying labtop in and out, no question asked.

If you are willing to spend some money, take a cab from Larkin directly to your new place in sg. Save the trouble to hand carry your desktop(monitor?) and luggage. I forget the rate, should be less than 50rm iirc.

You should not be taxed for your own desktop but if you happen to piss them off, they can ask you to power on your desktop and check if you have illegal content in your PC.

Wanna ask. The Starhub IDD call 018.... If i called to JB. How much does the recipient charge?

I got a job offer for SGD2500 near Ang Mo Kio. Do you think it's enough for me to save like SGD800 per month? How much tax do Malaysians have to pay?

just like any other local rates if he's not on roaming

Added on November 12, 2012, 5:28 amquite a number of folks here have that salary range. budget a bit, resist all the temptations and saving up to s$800 per month is possible.
Malaysian or not, all pay taxes based on the same calculations.

Thanks for the info.

I'm a fresh grad from top US university (first class honors). Do fresh grad commonly get this salary? The interviewer told me that 'top school' like NUS grad could get 3k.. but in fact my school is better than NUS if he's talking about ranking or being 'top'. So I'm thinking is this being underpaid or not.

Do you mind sharing what school to be exactly? And most importantly what industry are you going in?
