Q&A website for those who want to register as postal voters: Undi Pos Q&A

Apparently you CAN register as a postal voter overseas... if you are already a registered voter (check here: Senarai Pengundi)

BUT you only have until 2400 tonight to send your completed and signed Borang 1B to the Malaysian embassy so that your ballot slip will be sent to the embassy.

i just got hired. on the spot.

tomorrow i will go provide them my passport, ic, white card and my degree cert.

funny they want a copy of my spm just to keep a copy?

also, i took the job because i don't want to do sales, but the job is so easy, i think all i do is sit in the office blow aircond only. hence, only $1.6k.

please guide me what to do next.

also very paranoid about the medical report now. scared kena reject. maybe i just think too much.

and i assume i will get work permit only, they won't be so nice gimme s pass right?

so.. how am i gonna get that PR sad.gif

i find that not having a PR status is rather hard for me to get a decent job.

for now i am just gonna rendam myself on this super easy job for maybe 6 months still i start go interviewing again?

please advice!

S Pass minimum 2k. You need a decent job to get a PR, not the other way round. Do the job that add value to yourself if possible bah. Don't waste youth by choosing a simple one.

i beg to differ, if you got a job in SG, just set ur foot here 1st. because even you are a foreigner, Companies in Singapore prefer to hire foreigners that are working in SG compare to those that are not.
So you can work with $1.6k salary then slowly settle down in SG 1st. After you settle everything, then you can start searching for the job you desire.

huh? they need all ur particulars to pass to mom online...

if you think sg company will treat u so well, u might wanna think twice... but u nvr know

just relax and think how u wanna move... get at least sgd3k ready, find housing now, figure out how u wanna maintain communication, pack ur bags, think of wat to bring over, how u wanna cross over and do join us on fb... pm king lester

might be wp might be s-pass, depending on mom...

well, think of your work first.. pr comes 2-3 years later

6 months hopping might get you banned by mom...

dont need to think so much.... think of the present

thank you cry.gif

i treat it as stepping stone. this admin assistant job is too easy for me.

when she interview me, she ask "you ok with the job as admin assistant?"

clearly she knows i can do better.

i just need a chance. and she say after probation and see how i do my job then will "readjust" my salary.

and they dun have anybody doing their admin job now, one of the hr person took over.

maybe i could settle a 2k job by sitting there longer a bit.

and with this stupid job i still can take my time search for a suitable job, not like now rushing to secure a good job but all want me do sales only but basic also almost never 2k.

i hope i am doing the right thing.

I don't know about PR. For S Pass they looking at basic, I tried to apply EP for my site people, he can reach EP with OT but MOM say cannot, because OT is not fix. Same for commission etc. Anyway, don't stay too long at a comfortable job when you are young. Like a frog staying in a boiling water theory. Youth is a big asset that old guy don't have anymore cry.gif
