I opened my account with Malaysia IC only 5 years ago, now they have tightened the rules which required proof of residence.
Overheard from my HR that certain branch will not entertain IPA at all.

Anyway, have you found a job?

Ya, I got my job already. Thanks alot for all the feedback. The last resort will be Bukit Panjang Branch it seems.

hi. can I do my medical check up in malaysia for my pre employment?

Yup yup....gotten n started my new job before CNY....thanks for asking with STE

most probably NO...because MOM/ICA will specifically said that it will need to be done locally in SG

why do you want to do medical check-up in MY. it's reimbursable by your employer after all.

Hi guys,

I was just wondering does Singapore Technologies hire Malaysian? Or they only consider PR and singaporean only? Any Malaysian (non-PR) working there mind to clarify?

I'm a Singapapore PR...not sure if there's any Malaysian's with EP working with ST...from what I know there are certain things that will be inacessible to me as a SPR

Friend worked there before without PR. There are some positions for PR or local only and some for local only, normally will show in the requirements. Good luck.

They only hire Singaporean for their defence business.

it would safe a lot of time/hassle in travelling if it's allow in MY, BUT it's not.

Hi All,
For rental itself, it is necessary that tenant need to pay for the agent fee?
Even via self online search where the room itself been advertised by agent themselves?
Besides convenient, whats the cons of finding a room by ownself and what precaution should i take if i do so?

I'm SPR in Sg and I do saw a couple of EP holders (from MYS/PRC) working in places like ASTAR and ST

I found mine online, no agent fees required. Direct to owner.
Consequences, u might be trick or scammed.
I almost got scammed, so u have to be careful.

It's like this actually. When a landlord wants to rent out a room/house, he will engage an agent. Normally, this agent will tell his/her friends, team members, colleagues, etc. These other agents are the ones who will advertise the room/property on propertyguru/etc.

So when you go viewing, the 'other' agent will bring you go see the house and represent your interests. The landlord agent will represent the landlord's interests, and both agents will split the agent fee. Normally you will pay your half to your agent (cos he is representing you) and the landlord will pay his/her half to his/her agent.

wrong thread....oops

Online search for room is either from agent or landlord or main tenant, you need to read the info provided for that location as it would state required agent fee, normally is from agent, if not stated, mostly is landlord or main tenant.

search room yourself mean is w/o agent, mostly kena scammed only because no black and white. i once found two rooms direct to main tenant. one of them is very nice but i moved out due to PR house rental issue with goverment and another is the enviroment condition very bad, only knew after moved in. both is without black and white, but luckily no scam happen on me.

how they scam you?mind share?

PR house rental issue?

not too long ago government say PR cannot rent out their HDB, I guess he is referring to that.
