Just bring to SG to save money, then buy the OS from SG lo if you feel guilty. Should not be a problem unless some people here report to ICA and they start to track and target you at the custom. There are so many pirated software going in and out of Singapore everyday. Apps, music, movies, OS, programs in phones, mp3 players, tablets, laptops...

The crowd will be CNY + Hari Raya + Deepavali + Christmas combined.

Anyone got experience applying MY's credit card or loan using SG's pay slip and income tax statement? Which bank is good for cash back, petrol and grocery. Thanks!

Do something to your interest with money that is not so bad. Cycles come and go. Hard to achieve something if keep switching following behind the cycles.

Got offered a 5k RM job + allowance (should not be that high, few hundred maybe) in Sabah recently, doing the same kind of job now but with a lower position. According to some friends there, the pay already above market rate in Sabah.

Want to ask, Malaysia system a bit different? EPF = CPF, then got one more call Socso, and the tax is every month deduction? So after all those, would get around 4k?

I am on a one week home, one week SG working schedule now. But I think this can't work out in the long term, say few years down the road. Still prefer more time back home.

Advantage - more time with family and financee.
Disadvantage - pay cut and starting from the bottom of career again.

For those that come to SG to work with a previous job in Malaysia, if given similar situation, will you consider to go back?

Thanks for the info. Feel like stranger in my own country. Everything also new. Still trying to apply MY credit card with my SG pay slip but no reply so far.

Family life vs. money... Tough choice... Still considering...

Ya the money here is too good... Job opportunities and exposure also different. Even the salary figure can't match in SG and hometown, not yet consider the exchange rate. Really don't know how the people survive with local salary. One meal in kopitiam cost around 6-8 rm. Salary only few 3-4k rm... Stronghold of the government, still sleeping. My DUN and parliment won by PR, should be not having much development this 5 years...

Have to see step walk step now.

You don't have any choice now. The old plan is unlimited for Starhub and M1, 50GB for Singtel and same price as the new one. But now only 4 - 10 GB?

Same situation with you. I using the Singtel 50GB from the old contract. But the network a bit cock up. No line at my home in the morning during the weekdays, but my office which is 5 minute walk from my house can have full download rate. Night time at my place is OK. Calling CSO is useless, they just bring you around the bushes without any solution. If you apply for a 2 year contract then you are done for. I used all 3 telco mobile broandband but still found that Singtel has the highest speed and most stable. The uploading speed and coverage is important when uploading few hundred MB of files to office or client, a matter of 20-30 minutes vs few hours...

But lost the benefit of getting a new phone or tablet for recontracting Got my iPad from the mobile broadband but don't want to recontract due to the lower limit now.

Given the same price figure with MY and SG, Singapore actually cheaper. I applied a Maxis broadband to check email in the airport, 50 RM only give 2 GB, and the phone that come with the contract only cheaper by 200 RM.

Singtel saying very few people using over 2GB is cheating, think they lower the data limit so less people downloading and make the 4G network faster. I always use until 49.XX GB and have to stop using it before my new quota come in next month. My phone data also near to the limit every month.

Cheap, I was paying 19.90 then upgrade to 7.2 mpbs and paying 39.90 because of the iPad promotion 2-3 years ago, now out of contract still 39.90, Singtel no free lunch eh earn back later.

They took away the old phone plan also, my first plan itwo plus, free 700 minutes for around 80 sgd but now no more. The new plan free minutes so little.

One work pass and two visit pass revoked. The one with work pass revoked has been warned in the 1st gathering but still participate in the 2nd one. SG already give chance.

Hero for sacrificing for the country or not wise for participating that is up to your own view. Most of us here went back for voting, not wise for wasting money? I think otherwise.

What's your point?

The best school here is free if you are the best, not like MY, although I don't think the fees are expensive compare to other place.

7 days a week of OT in construction can hit 10k+. But health go down exponentially, then spend 20k later for doctor visit.
