Hi All the Tailo/TaiJie,

If nothing goes wrong , I should be reporting on Duty in June. Hopefully I can join you all on the TT session. Hope you all don't mind i ask all the silly question that time .

Or the second case, you mean must convert even if not driving or else can't convert later?

I convert my license after almost 9 years in Sg with student pass and PR. I was told the criterial is my malaysia driving license must be issued at least one years before I came to Sg for long term purpose. In my case is my student pass start date or my passport entry date which ever earlier.

The officer question me why I apply for convention after so many years, I explain I was out of Singapore for a few years during that period and I just save enough to buy a used car. He gamm gamm gamm but process my application anyway.

This one.

THANKS!!! A precedent. I'm 7 years overdue already....

Btw, the JPJ transcript will state when we were first issued our licence in Malaysia, wouldn't it? I renewed my current licence very near the date I came to Singapore permanently, so the start date on the current licence itself will be less than one year.

Jam for sure.  Well, I've been telling my Malaysian relatives and friends here its just bullshit but some have been living in Singapore so long, they have become as KIASU as the Singaporeans.  I told my wife and sister, if necessary, I will tie them up and put them in the car to drive them back to PJ to vote  

Problem is, I don't put anything pass BN to play dirty.  Last election in 2008, day after the results came in, I was with a friend in Shah Alam, who's a legal advisor for Pakatan when a call came in.  He told me later that Pakatan people had been to the Selangor state building in Shah Alam (the Ship) and they saw many civil servants driving out from the building in their cars, with boxes of documents.  The Pakatan people had tried to put up roadblocks to stop them and were calling him to ask about the legality of doing so.

To cut a long story short, he told them that they had no power to detain them but to take down their car registration numbers and names, and later Pakatan lodge a police report in Shah Alam.  Same thing happened in Kedah too.  I don't think it would suprise people to hear that the police never did anything about the reports, although it was a clear cut case of breach of official secrets act of these civil servants in removing state and federal documents from the state offices!

Happy Labour Day to everyone here...
Yesterday, I've received a call from sg company! 1st question, they ask my status of employment in sg! I replied "I'm a foreigner"... The HR straight away asked my expected salary!... And, she said it is very high expected, their offer salary range is from 1.8K- 2K SGD!.... I straight away replied, I'm not interested to ur job & hang up the phone!!!... Hello, I feel like she is insulting my 5 years working experience, knowledge and qualification!... They shortlisted me because I've relevant working experience that can be fit their job task well.... Just becuase I've no sg working experience they wanted to pull down my salary range same to freshgraduate diploma holder from sg polytechnic??? Usually, 2K SGD offer is for those who's fresh graduate from sg polytechnic with diploma holder and no experience at all... Unfair... Unfair.....

At least 2.9k (Checked).  Does anyone here in construction field for civil eng here ? I hope you dont mind to share your view as a consultant or contractor in sg 

lol, these cinapek think SGD 2000 is veli high ma .
2000 x 2.47 = RM 5000 . Wow this is like a salary of an engineer of 5 years experience.

The reality is if you are getting RM 5000 ringgit , you should be getting SGD 5000 . or minimum  RM5000 x 0.8 = USD 4000 to go to SG .

Anyway, kudos for your bravery to tell them to f*** off.

Hercules, Yalah... Make me so angry, not interested to talk to her and hang phone immediately!... By the way, that's from small company la... HR is very good in calculation what?.... Of course, she will think like that!... I'm not engineer. Do u think that she dare to offer engineer with 5 yrs exp 1.8-2k SGD? Hell no enginee want to with her la!... That's why we need to clarify the salary range b4 go for interview... I went there one time to attended the Electronics line US MNC interview... The caucasian interviewers so shocked when she saw my expected salary in application form!... That's why I noticed those interviewers don't really go throught my resume and expected salary before invite me for interview!... Mad...

Day Dreaming? I don't think a local degree holder with no epxerience can get 3k SGD offer in sg! In reality, that's quite impossible. Unless, u r graduate from NUS or NTU SG... I can say 3k sgd paid for NUS & NTU graduated is low paid...I don't think they will call u for interview, If u really write 3k expected salary in ur resume. Even, u get a chance to interview, they will question you "Explain to me why u feel u worth for this expected salary?".... 
I know one of ur senior also from UTM BEng in civil. He has 1 yr working exp in M'sia and he 1st jump to SG is only SGD1.8K as civil eng!.... After 3 years woirking in SG only managed to get 3.5k SGD.... Now, he is in management ppl of course, his salary is more n more....
Just bear in mind, no employer willing to offer higher pay for foreigner with no exp (This is reality).

... if all else fails, i just migrate to Aussie

hello, may i know what is salary range for a fresh graduate electronics engineer ? thank you.

may i know ur experience and qualification?
1.6k-4.2k 

I think Singapore views thing in paper perspective.  Unrecognized qualification = NIL,  foreigner job experience in non MNC = NIL. 
I personally don't have paper qualification.  Rather, all is sales experience, i am here now and thinking of going back to school or will forever suffer the low level <2k income competition.
I cannot even open a business here unless it offer something different from the norm.
I view it as a challenge, i will turn the tide or if all else fails, i just migrate to Aussie

I know you just said this as tongue in cheek, but migrating to Australia without any paper is pretty damn hard.
