Oh. Too far out la. Thanks for the info though.

Is this your first job in Singapore?
Just a head ups, your potential employers will be able to check if you've worked in Singapore before. However, I am not too sure if they are able to trace your previous employers/tenure with the company.

but then again if u can earn RM5k in Malaysia, then most probably u can get SGD 5k in SG then

why u get terminated in less than 2 month

I try to write what I feel about working in SG so far not much work today hehe. Please give your input especially your MY experience all are welcome.

I started my working life in SG. Never work in MY so I don't know about the pay scale, culture, organization and cost of living there. Seeing many Malaysians coming to SG to work, I guess SG is better.

Input from my MY colleagues who worked in MY before, things like electronics, food, clothes, travelling are generally "cheaper". Cheaper in the sense of the cost % over income. Partially due to the stronger currency exchange for SGD. I assume this is the main attraction for graduates to come here as those are the things they are chasing at that age?

After some time we move to another kind of needs. Housing, transportations and setting up a family. Everything change from there. Not so cheap after all. For dual income, maintaining a car is affordable. We plan to get another car recently because our working hours varies, either me or my BF has alternate OT. After calculation and the new budget we gave up the thought. Our place is 30 mins walking distance up hill from the nearest bus stop. Try going up hill with heels before saying 30mins is ok... If one of us OT, the other one have to force to stay back too because we share one car. The cab queue around my workplace is even worse than the MRT queue. Petrol is cheaper though - about 2.2 for 98UL per litre and MY Ron 97 is 2.9 per litre.

We can't buy HDB because we both have properties here and oversea. My parents hate me so they put my name in the house before they went back. Next choice is condo, dual income, pay until retired. Waiting for the second wave of cooling measures. Landed... don't even dare to think. So yah well over marriage age but still waiting. And the government is complaining of low fertility rate among residents. Kids will be another level of needs - akan datang lol.

LOL. because they hate you, hence they tied you with a house??

How is this not applicable outside SG?

i wish my parent hate me, they din leave me with anything
since i got kids, guess i already next level

work in malaysia 5 years then sg 4 years then 5 years again in malaysia and now back in SG 2 years plus
i see also alot people go back permanently no problem adapting with Ringgit
depend on opportunity, me career been on turbo since i back in SG
planning for more kid, house and already enjoying driving here in SG

a lot of plan have been acomplish with the strong currency

different age different need, i like the freedom kl have when i younger (young and dangerous)
i like the security and freedom for my son now in SG (they run and roam around in the park with no fear)

Anyone here familiar with dependent pass?
For dependent pass holders, if they want to work, the employer needs to get the letter of consent (loc) from MOM, correct?
With loc does it mean the dp is still valid?

And what's the different if employer apply for s pass/ e pass or loc?

Thanks.

Mee too. In fact this is the biggest reason I move to SG.

I worked in MY for 12 years and moved to SG 1.5 years ago.
I suffered a big drop in my standard of living. Used to have 2 cars (fully paid) and 2 apt units (fully paid) in MY.
Can only afford a used car (on loan) and rent a HDB in SG.
But the fact that my kids can roam freely in the park is priceless and worth the sacrifice.

Of course we never let our guard down. We still practice the same level of alertness wherever we go!

My wife was on DP.
After she found a job in SG, her employer applied EP for her.
I forgot what happen to her DP pass (the physical card)... either it was returned to MOM when my wife collected the EP, or I returned it to my company HR.

Well, cant agree more with your statement, but i still can see my friend cannot tahan the life here and intend or already going back to work in malaysia, they tried to use alot excuses to forced themselves stay and work here.
for me, maybe i didn't work at big city before, only work at my kampung which is small and live simple life. so for me, SG life is better than MY life for me. wish my career can turbo on like you.

Are you guys been paid well there ? For example, if you are getting RM10K a month in Malaysia, do you get SDG10K a month there for the same kind of job and duties and responsibilities ? That's my question to you. Please answer truthfully.

yes, so what next

I am happy for you that you are getting a good pay. Let's hope it is not playing the conversion game.

that is my expense i mention in earlier thread

HDB rental (2 bed room) = $2000 (East)
Car installment (2nd hand) = $1100
Food & Groceries = $1500
Occasional nice meals, gifts for kids, hobbies = $500
Parent in law allowance for taking care my son = $1000
Commitment back in Malaysia = $3000

even on 10k u might be stretching it, think carefully u want to come or not

Thanks bro for your explanation. Do you manage to save every month there ? May I ask why did you work migrate there looking at the high expenses incurred monthly ? PM if not convenient here.

They make me not eligible for HDB lo Sabo my life for not going back.

Its more like a family house equal share between bro, sis and me. I am only a temporary caretaker. They treating it like a hotel, come and go with all their things still inside the rooms So we need another place to start our family.

Lol can imagine after having kids, every interest is for the the kids already. Last year quite a number of rumours that people taking the young kids away in the public. Have to be careful also.

You all employ nanny or put at day care center? My nephew came last month thanks to the Suluk invasion, the temporary nanny we got is expensive, 2.5k for baby < 1 year old. They are coming back end of year for few months to renew their REP so I am looking out for nanny for nephew.
