Probably most are lucky to join the sector which most are Malaysian and less demanding job. As you mention, your work place majority are Malaysian, who else to discriminate you??

But is really arguable, anyone could be wrong.

Conclusion is really depends what you want & what sector you join.

Those of u who say sinkie can't identify malaysians, this only applies if u have been here donkey years n already integrate into their way of speaking etc. I been here coming to 2 years and still taxi drivers instantly know I am Malaysian after I speak 2 sentences to them regardless English or mandarin.

Our EC is political. Najib fills it with an UMNO stalwart just like how he puts people in IGP post, chief govt secretary etc

Ticket fare getting higher & higher every minute...fuuu I thought they were going to give us cheaper rates??

arleady confirmed.

Just managed to get PR appointment booking on end of april. As I went through explanatory note I noticed that they require us to produce english translation document for those not in english. So do i have to translate my birth cert, educational cert? Where do i get such service?

I think pmr and spm is in malay....do i really have to translate them? Anyone applied PR before?

i did not translate my birth cert or my spm cert.
they will request for original SPM cert (which if i remember correctly is in Malay)

Congrats
Thanks for the info. So u did not translate any malay documents to english right?
Did u provide your pmr cert?

Invest in SG blue chip stocks lah.
Buy gold you need place to keep, later kena curi. Or worst Geneva Gold case   

Anyway just wondering what do you guys do with your savings in SG ? The FD rate here is 

1. thinking of buying some blue chip and get dividends but seems like foreigners need to have $5000 as deposit just to get a online trading account.
2. Become currency trader    taking bags of money back... now RM is strong ... 2.457 compared to 4.478 a month ago
3. Don't think I can buy property here in SG
4. Don't think I can buy property in KL either....
others ?

Didn't know you can use 100% of CPF for the downpayment. Don't they have something similar to akaun 1 and 2 like in Malaysia (ie you can only take from akaun 2, cannot touch akaun 1) ? - medisafe, medisheild ... very confusing

Tailo, want to ask you all.

1) Our Medical insurance in Malaysia does it cover? If not should i cancelled it and hopefully get get something back?
2) Life insurance should i maintain?
3) Open a bank account deposit how much ?
4) Open a postpaid line, any deposit. how much?
5) Saw those bundle thing from singtel and starhub for broadband and tv program thing. Anyway using that ? Got advice on those? Also need deposit or any installation fee?
6) Any other misc fee which people like me going to start work in Singapore?
Need to calculate all the cost to see whether first month need to just eat bread for the month or can eat maggie mee.

Thank you

No harm trying mah. I applied my PR in January (1yr 7mths work in SG), got the approval a few weeks ago, so.... less than 2years. P2 EP.

Those of u who got PR, did your IPA say anything like 'you are invited to apply for citizenship after X years" etc? I'm wondering if that line really means a decent chance of SC approval after X years or whether it's just some standard letter template.

For me 80% is what I need to spend ... so how hight is my pay...

Thanks for the insights guys, i'm a cooking kinda guy as when i lived in AUS i did alot of cooking it was just my way of life i don't think constant hawker food is healthy

I agree with the living like a foreign labor part, i'm coming here to SG for experience as well as to enjoy my life and coming home to a nice place at least is the bare minimum i need. So long as my room/toilet is clean i dont really mind the other area's of the place.

I've contacted a few agents fingers crossed i can get a condo at aljunid for 850.

I came up with a rough budget with my salary feed back would be great.

Rent/pub- $800-1k

Phone-$50

Transport -$60

food $20 p/day -$600 my thoughts here are i can eat fancy sometimes but just don't spend to much on other days to accommodate for the day i do spend a bit more on a meal out

leisure (activities/gym/shopping/etc):$400

Savings:$1k

Thoughts? I plan for it to be like that generally and adjust as i live and see how much i would spend

my opinion in red above

Hi,
I'm graduating sooner and able start working on August. I'm still confuse that I should work at Penang Or start in construction field. Any idea or advice? Getting SGD 3k compare to MYR 3K is really make me headache. 

i am just writing my experience in sg. sorry, not everybody is an elite here driving cars and buying properties here.

many people want to come to sg, i am just showing my part of the world.

it ain't fancy like yours, but it is real. so why not let people know it ain't going to be rosy for everybody?

so typical. kthxbai.
