Do anyone of you feel hated and not welcomed from reading those news or articles related to foreign workers/talents?

By the way, any of you registered your marriage in Singapore?
*
Don't feel anything.

Unless you are really a talent and can keep it that way, and work on EP forever, then you are a FT. If not, after some years, your skills degenerate, become normal worker. You apply and get PR, SG put you inside their resident stats. Grow old a bit, start family, pay house pay car, suddenly everything so exp. New batch of younger, more updated skill FT come in, then you will be one of the author of those articles. laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Dear all,

For the past month I have been sending my résumé through job street.sg and till now I still have not received any calls for interview. Just wondering, based on your experience is my application been rejected? I have stated my availability date which is on 1st of June.

I am currently doing mechanical engineering and will be graduating in June. Please advise.

Thanks.
*
Some company will only response sometime after closing date, after they filter out all the application, drink some coffee, eat some kuih, then call or email you. Longest period I encounter is about 3-4 months after I send out my application.

June is still very long. Some company is willing to prebook you, but some urgent post can't wait or they don't want to take risk of waiting for someone with uncertainties. I graduated last time end June and I got my job in April, some of my friends got theirs earlier than me. You will be competing with few hundreds of locally produced mechanical engineer who are graduating around that time too. But you are perfectly fine and tuned to the kiasu semangat here already. Good luck. thumbup.gif

just like us... singaporeans are angry bout foreigners, is it our fault? we are just trying to make a living.. just because some east msians chop ppl up doesnt mean all the malaysians are bad.. just ban the east malaysians... just take action againts the illegal militant terrorist

please think twice before you post!  vmad.gif  mad.gif

His post no racism inside leh just some stats, yours have. What just ban the east Malaysians... this is not racist is what, some more racist against own country. Other part of Malaysia never commit crime or murder in SG? East Malaysia all savages that wield knife instead of keyboard and mouse for living?

According to a report from Malaysia’s Star newspaper, the Manpower Ministry of Singapore (MOM) has started to restrict male natives from Sarawak and Sabah to work in Singapore.

For the male natives of these 2 states of Malaysia, the age limit to work in Singapore has been raised to 35 and above. For Malaysians from the other states, the age limit remains as 18 and above.

The new ruling was said to be imposed as an “administrative punishment” after a series of crimes and fights involving rowdy native Sabahans and Sarawakians in Singapore. These include several high profile murder cases involving natives of these 2 states in Ang Mo Kio, Kallang and Geylang in recent years.

In 2010, 7 foreign workers from Sarawak, armed with parangs, committed a series of gang robbery and murder. 4 persons were viciously attacked in separate incidents around the Kallang area. One of them died with his head, arms and body slashed. Another person, a teenage boy, lost several fingers. The other 2 were similarly slashed. The victims were all attacked by the gang during the robbery. The 4 incidents were reported separately in a spate of 7 hours.....

True or not, any official statements from MOM? Or just speculation and blame this blame that for those who can't get the pass... The 4 websites you show are blogs, and their source is the Star... I satisfy all the criteria for the ban list, but after 3 years from 2010 I still here leh. I also know few young east malaysians come here and work after 2010, no problem for their passes.

When you imagine East Malaysia, all natives? Malays, Chinese, Indians don't exist? Even if exist also uncivilised and more brutal than the West side? Very curious where you got the mindset from. But you not the only one, I was asked similar questions by the locals, even the educated one. I blame it to the tourism ad.

My moyang came to Borneo, started a simple life, enough to feed the family, was given Malaysia's IC, and here I am, holding same passport with you working in SG earning a simple life too. Any difference between you and me?

Some Sulu don't agree with what their Sultan is doing, they came to Sabah to escape from the war at the South, make a living enough to feed their family. If one of the Sultan up North now want to reclaim SG, you will fight or assist the invasion? Can assume what your leader is doing or thinking mean the same for you too?

Semi serious bah. S Pass and EP is the same thing, a pass to work in SG, unless plan to hang the EP at the neck and walk around the streets and laughing at S Pass, EP and S Pass basically the same. Any other advantage for EP? Can use the fast lane at custom and bring in your family I suppose.

For the serious part. Some company maxed out their S Pass quota, with the EP employee now becoming S Pass, they don't have any more quota to keep you there. Since they need someone to fill your place, either hire new EP or keep you there by upgrading your pay. Hiring a new EP is not meaningful since they have to pay the new pay also. Your value should be higher than new EP employee since you more familiar with the company operation. So if you know if this is your case, can go bang table now~ like this > vmad.gif vmad.gif vmad.gif

S Pass and work permit still cannot. Long term visit pass sponsored by EP and above coming to spend money can. How she get the long term visit pass ah? I plan to apply one for my fiancee but like cannot.

Nope, i dunno which scenario i will be in yet as my pass havent expired, my fren once told me that if they renew your pass to S Pass as you agreed, then in the future, you will hardly get E Pass.
summore E Pass is more easier to obtain PR, is that true? hmm.gif

when mom rejects some1 they dont tell the reason to prevent abuse just like how ica dont tell you the reason when they reject your pr... you dont like you can go google.. hello, do u know when did the ban take place? did u even read! good for them, you dont commit crime sg welcomes you.. you behave like barbarian they you deserved to be banned...

i already told you, it is the sg gov's decision, dont blame me... ask mr.tan, already gave you his contact.. you can have people's session with him, i am sure he would like to hear from the likes of u

no diff, did i say any diff? my moyang came from phillipines mind you... you and the sulus are no diff.. do you deserved to driven into the sea? i dont think so... but how about armed invaders of sultan sulu? how about gangster mafia from east asia? they deserve to be dealt with full justice  vmad.gif  mad.gif

that's why i am saying they should not be killed or driven into the sea as claimed by some1.. instead those that came and caused trouble deserve to be bombed... well in this case, the msia sulus supported the msian gov, so i guess they are good people...
merely quoting doesnt mean i am not thinking... do you read journals? people quote each other all the time, are they thinking? i think so.. dont you?

if sg gov ban east msian, so be it... i am just informing you... just like how the news is informing you how the sultan sulu's invaders are being bombed...

One of the guy just got his pass Dec 2012, good enough? So mean got ban or no ban?

Here's your original statement:

"just like us... singaporeans are angry bout foreigners, is it our fault? we are just trying to make a living.. just because some east msians chop ppl up doesnt mean all the malaysians are bad.. just ban the east malaysians... just take action againts the illegal militant terrorist"

You are not quoting anyone and it's obvious that this is your thought. You said you are conveying the message from Singaporean government only after the backlash from the rest of us. So you are not "a fool that's conveying what the singaporean gov thinks," but you are indeed a fool.

I just feel bad for all my fellow Malaysians in East Malaysia.

Ya his point not consistent. Maybe he worry the ban will affect him, so hate the east. Now turning around. Troll or what, nvm la. 1 Malaysia ma our PM spent so much promoting, we should follow our PM thumbup.gif .

If you forgot what you said in your earlier post, look at the bolded part. We can understand what seantang mean in his post, at least for me, but you like cannot. You can see and defend that most of the Sulu in Sabah are only making a living and not dangerous as the militants. But you cannot see the same thing for east malaysians, just ban them all you said.

QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Mar 9 2013, 02:45 AM)
you can contact mr.tan, he can explain it to you, i dont work for mom...

how can the ban affect me? although i am not very educated and working a low level job, i am still a law abiding person... no, i will not follow mr.najib, i have no confidence in him and would surely vote him out...

You don't work there but you are so sure of your statement. You belief what blogs tell you, but ignore official website and real life case.

QUOTE(xenotzu @ Mar 11 2013, 03:18 PM)
Hi, this might be slightly off topic but I hope I can get some good advice here from fellow Malaysians in Singapore.  I just received my PR status in Singapore but with a young son, I know that he will have to do his NS here unless I give up PR status before he turns 16.  I was wondering if there are any Malaysians here who have done their NS service in Singapore or know of Malaysian relatives who have done their NS here, and who can advise me as to whether:

1.  if Malaysians get "tekan" more than Singaporeans in the NS by the instructors, seeing that Singaporeans seem to be getting more xenophobic about PRs now;

2.  if its advisable to renounce my son's PR before he's 16 in order to avoid wasting 2 years of his life in NS (some Singaporean friends have told me that if given the opportunity, they would prefer not to do their NS);

3.  is there any advantage to doing his NS other than the ability to stay on to work in Singapore (we are planning to send our children overseas for studies and hopefully for them to work overseas, unfortunately, to join the growing Malaysian Brain Drain).

Thank you.
*
Have to choose his PR status now? Thought can survive with Malaysian status, but more expensive, and harder to get in the school you want. If renounce at 16, maybe will affect application for PR or work permit next time, eat up the PR benefit then don't want contribute, sure put in record one. If can foresee he never come back SG to work then can don't care, rip the benefit and run.

I got one junior, Indonesian, came here to study secondary, and they invite him to take up PR when he in uni before graduate. He took it, need to do NS after graduate... If you can choose for your sons to stay Malaysian without PR, need to expect this.
