PUB=Public utility board.
Meaning all the utilities, electricity n water...those stuff
correct me if i'm wrong

thanks for the tips. I am working in North Bridge Road. Any suggestion which distrinct i should look for ?

Will be based in Malaysia, now is transition period, one week here one week there. If things go smoothly, most of the time will be in Malaysia and fly back for meetings.

I sharing room with my GF, she come here once a while during the holidays. Landlady really welcome her every time, and ask her to come often and cook her lunch when I am working. You have to discuss with the owner before signing to see if they allow or not and how much. Some due to religion, personal reasons, and don't want a couple. My previous Muslim landlord don't allow due to religion reason because we are not married, my other previous Muslim landlord allow but charge a very high daily rate.

Bugis, Lavender, Kallang to the right. Tiong Bahru, Redhill to the left. Mine is 550 (consider shared room with my GF) at Lavender, 5-10 minutes bus to North Bridge Road depend on which area in the road.

Here is my 2rm worth

Some friends of mine recently got jobs in Singapore ( Degree Holder , 3 to 4 years experience , Industry - It, Marketting ), the salaries were offered referencing against their Malaysian Salary and Not their worth in singapore , They too it since they like Singapore more, since there is much exposure to many international organizations ,

But in my opinion, sure the salary is higher in Singapore, but their expenses are also expensive, rent and everything , personally i dont think its worth moving to singapore unless the offer is good by singaporean standards, that being said , still very tough to get a job there at the moment

if ur fren took the job based on their Malaysian salary, how much is the increment? 200%?
if getting 4k in Malaysia, then getting 4k in Sg it should still be fine.
but 4k rm n then 2k in singapore...damn, not worth it! even though in rm, u r getting close to 5k

Yes , they were getting paid in Malysia about 4k to 5k , and they got the salary in singapore between 3k to 3.5k, ,I know its low , but they said getting job in Singapore is very tough now , and they took it since to were getting a chance to work for major mnc's

That is low. $3k is barely above fresh grad salary scale in major MNC's. Although I suppose your friends are willing to take the sacrifice for some perceived benefit - stronger currency, safer living, etc.

Yes its true, they were getting some good benefits they mentioned , they major reasoning was that , at the moment the job market in singapore is quite bad, it seems there is a push from the government to restrict major jobs for singaporean and pr holders , I imagine this might not be the case with all industries though
