i do hope to be able to jump to other department if got vacancy. need more luck.

seriously.

anyhow, when a person got a work permit from a company,

when i get a new job next, what will happen to my work permit? do i need to reapply from the new company?

yes, you have to re-apply a new one. . And the company will hold ur last salary and settle all income tax with IRAS before they let u go.

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

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!

My other half started working with 1.8k well below market value and local uni degree. Don't worry what others say. Medical checkup should be no problem. Happy working!

anyhow also better than 6 months contract job lah. i should be grateful.

6 months contract job? or probation?

is there a chance for permanent basis? did u ask?

another question, regarding money.

i don't think there's any bank that can deposit money in sg and withdraw in malaysia right? (because i just asked ocbc, they say they are different companies from malaysia)

how do u guys send money back to malaysia, e.g. give money to parents.

and most of the time u guys keep the money in sg and not malaysia right? hoping sgd value go up even more?

You can deposit money in SG and withdraw it in MY by using your ATM card. The problem..
1) Fees charge per withdrawal
2) Not very good exchange rate

which bank?

nopes, the legal entity is diff... u have to get from great eastern sg and it is limited to certain type of insurance only...

how do u guys send money back to malaysia, e.g. give money to parents.

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.
