Hello everyone here, I'm a new member to this thread. Going to start work in Ubisoft Singapore soon. Hope to visit this thread more often and get to know Malaysians working in Singapore

I think is better rate to change in SG and bring the RM back to KL. Or you can use remittance (with a small fee, should be free if >$5000 if not mistaken). Raffles money changer have that service. Haven't tried that before myself.

Some clarity on dutiable items brought into Singapore. IMO, the key word is "new".

Are you suggesting using remittance services? I didn't particularly like those since the exchange rate is lower than the physical money changer.


Actually the reason I change in KL is because it's easier (physically) to manage and bring back 5-10 pieces of $1000 notes rather than a huge bundle of RM50 or RM100. Remittance, as mentioned above, the rates aren't great no?

FYI, the remittance rate (via raffles money changer) is higher than the exchange rate.
The only downside is that you need to pay the S$10 for processing/admin charge.
Save you lots of trouble and do not have to worry getting robbed midway.

Since you changed at KL, i guess you dont mind on the rate? KL rate should be lower than SG rate?

Well you can't have one cake and eat it too.

Do you get $1000 note in the bank (teller) ? Normally the ATM dispense $50, hardly even see $100 except in casino ATM.

Anybody here in Construction line? Infrastructure? Want to know how's the working place like?

In terms of working hours, safety, dateline etc.

Cheers!

Hi all,
I would like to have some advices from you all.
I am a fresh grad from marketing background, plan to work in singapore in future.
But my cousin bro told me that the salary will be low for a fresh grad with no experiences at all to work in singapore.
He suggests me to work in malaysia for 1 or 2 years only look for a job in singapore.

any advices from you all?

and the salary is high for fresh grads in Malaysia ?

It is true. Although you don't see high salary for fresh graduate in Malaysia either but at least you can have a better life (In case you're staying with your family, etc.)

Really? I guess I should check out this Raffles Money Changer then. The $10 is OK, small fee if transferring a few thousand at a go. Thanks!

*EDIT*
By the way, for remittance, you need certain details of the receiving bank like official bank name, address, branch code, etc right? I can't seem to find this on CIMB's website. Anyone have a link to the official info? Else I'll have to get someone at home in KL to call them up.

The KL rate is slightly lower yeah, in the few times I changed, maybe 0.01-0.02 difference. But at that time I didn't bother since wasn't changing large amount.


Yeah I know, but no harm asking. Yes I go to the bank, line up at the teller, then request to withdraw in $1000 notes.

remittance not just need your bank account, which bank? i thought just transfer to the respective bank will do?

Not change money in large amount, the lower rate and higher rate make no different.

this is a very general question.it depends on what position, what companies you are looking for.
you do not expect you work 9-5 as a bricklayer right?

My apologies for not being clear.

Engineer position, project site, field engineer or design engineer.

i would say all of them have to be on site. the site condition is basically based on the scale of the project. a 2+ years you could expect a nice and comfortable site office.
the working hour is normally 8-5/6 six days per week. but do know that site personnel is expected to work overtime and standby anytime.
safety wise, u mean criminals or steel dropping from high?
so far i think it is quite okay in terms of personal safety.

Okies, pretty much the same as Malaysia.

I just come to Sg to work with 1 year EP pass. Do you guys know whether I can sign up for any telco iPhone plan, which is 2 years contract?
