U and ur kids stay in JB lor. U can take care of the kids personally.
Ur wife can rent a room in SG and go over to JB every Friday and come back Sunday/Monday lor.
Otherwise ur wife can stay in JB and u can send ur wife over to SG everyday from JB. This may be financially better than if u find a low paying job and whole family stay in SG, then have to incur extra cost to take care of your kids.
Childcare being outsource too much oso not very healthy and maybe (inclusive of other cost maybe more expensive than ur monthly salary).

what it means by take things for granted?
this is sincere n noob question from me, not sarcasm
well...i still digesting the culture n mentality of sg ppl...
so if u can give sm example, thats really great,
not to prejudge them but to know more

Sg is a very fair country and police get involve even on small trivial unfair matter.
So the ppl here will expect everything to be fair and follow rules and take things for granted that everything shd be as it is. Nothing out of order and nothing shd be. Gomez here so efficient that everything is laid out with little uncertainty. Ppl here are used to it since young and will not tolerate if it not inline.
My 2 cents

For fresh grad if u have CfA better than MBA. If she be easier to find compared to if u have MBA or degree.
Salary for fresh grad no diff whether u degree MBA of Cfa.

Just reading on and saw level "one". Not much diff from degree then. Maybe complete ur level 3.
I'm guessing ur MBA is not from top 10 school otherwise u won't b asking above question.

I'm not on high position unfortunately. Completing my CFA in 2.5 yrs doesn't really help my job. It would help me probably if I'm in my first 5yrs of career, but after 20yrs working i regret shortening my life with the CFA.

I do hav (or rather had) a fren. He has degree in economic and political science fromLSE and the Masters from Princeton. A malaysian fresh grad which managed to work in Singapore's equivalent of Khazanah (dun wan mention which one but only 3 of them)

I think it's just to set expectation. PAP very long sighted. Tell the rakyat expected 6.9m, then by 2030 or 2020, it's still far from the target and then can either say we are short from target and have room to increase foreigners or say that we are still not as bad as projected altho infrastructure have been prepared for 6.9m.

tats what he said, when i say I wana join them, they told me my gender don't fit their requirements.

They talk about all residents having 10-15mins walk to park. I'm sure their defination of park is not just a couple of trees.
Anyway, 2030, too far down the road. I might be retired by then.

Whether jurong, or woodlands can be CBD area not really depends entirely on gomen. Whether companies want to be located there or not. Gomen also talk about expanding commercial area in Marina Bay area. This doesn't sound like encouraging business to relocated to other places. I think the key is financial services need to relocate, because those are the businesses crowding in current CBD. They should implement incentives for business to relocate to jurong or woodlands.
