Hi all, just curious for those working in SG, where do you mainly save/invest your money? Malaysia or Singapore?

Based on detail here:

I believe EP can convert their Malaysia driving license to SG license right?

Depends on the person n his need to hv the license. just need to pay $6 for btt  for converting, and it is valid for 5yrs in sg & msia. After that can convert back to msia , if u did not take PR.

Jobs are easy to get, as blue collar workers laugh.gif

It is not so much a story of worth it or not worth it. If you check back a page or two for the link that mackiddo gave, actually by law you are not allowed to drive in SG on a foreign license after 1 year.

Thanks all, my friends actually asked me to convert my msia license to SG license and get a motorcycle in sg... well I think I'm happy with transportation system here and since I'm not planning to apply PR and license will only valid for 5 years, don't think will be converting license for now.

Hi all, have some question regarding tax for EP holder... I just changed to new company in Oct. So IRAS has taxed me for my income from previous employer, so will I get taxed as non-resident rate (<183 days in SG) for my Nov and Dec income?

Thanks.

I am not sure, but for my case, My employer didn't tax me anything because it shows my income below 20k since i left the company in January.
They do provide me with an IRAS letter showing my income for year 2012 but no tax deduction was made. I work in that company more than 2 years though.
*
Thanks Lester. I've received letter from IRAS stating they have deducted tax amount from my withholding salary, and I'm requesting Form IR8A from my previous employer too...

Guess I can only wait and see if IRAS will tax me under non-resident rate for my Oct to Dec 2012 income...

Thanks again bro smile.gif

good drivers, clean buses, reasonable rate, great location, got vid during journey although nvr change 1, chances of meeting leng lui is good... wat more ca u ask for  brows.gif

Haha agree with all the points, I'll go by Firstcoach whenever they have seat for me biggrin.gif
As for good drivers, there was once the driver of the bus I took was quite impatient and keep honking at JB Customs biggrin.gif

1 more thing I like about Firstcoach is every alternate row you get a power outlet to charge your devices... thou seems like now there are more buses comes with power outlet at every row.

QUOTE(deodorant @ Dec 5 2012, 11:24 PM)
probably cos it's got a great price/comfort ratio. if you go any higher on price to the premium busses like Transsstar or Aeroline ... the price sometimes even more expensive than flying budget airline liao

or me though, I always fly, cos I live in east so I'm closer to the airport. and i prefer waiting and hanging around in airports rather than sitting in a bus chair for 5 hours.
*
Haha so envy you all staying in KL, quite convenient to travel back to KL. I'm staying Penang to my only mean of travel is by flight.

But usually for firstcoach it is quite difficult to get a seat for me (most of the time I have to wait until others released their seat), my other alternative would be Causeway link since its near to where I'm staying in SG.

either m1 or singtel... nvr starhub unless u take their cable network n do hubbing

Just check, is Starhub's 3G network really bad? I used Starhub 3G on prepaid previously and its kind of bad (about 2 years ago). So I signed Singtel postpaid instead. Now thinking to switch to M1 after my contract with Singtel due. How is M1's 3G or LTE connection?
