because they were jobless. that's why they become taxi driver. whenever they're jobless, they will think that foreigners grabbing their jobs.

My thought exactly.....
And when their bright children go overseas next time...those young generation face the same     thing...
It's a vicious cycle 

Wah, then cannot go back Malaysia eat rent shake leg already.

The flight at Senai is 9pm, so leaving on Friday evening 6pm after work, take cab better? Causeway if use bus will be jam I assume. Changi one is 5pm so I have to take half day unpaid leave, boss  .

$800 a month is $26 a day, how on earth can you "fine dining" in Singapore on that budget, lol.

Oh i wanna rant about the taxi drivers here too! They like to stop-accelerate-stop-accelerate. A few times I felt like I was gonna puke..

Bah, my landlord said that due to personal reasons she needs to move back into the apartment after the end of our lease in July

Any of you have any experience engaging professional movers? Any idea of an indicative charge rate for moving an entire 3 bedroom apartment? Just exploring some options cos big items like the bed and etc can't really be moved by ourselves ...

hi guys, do we really need to submit last 6 months payslip when applying PR? I just got into my new company for 3 months, confirmed and would like to try for PR but I don't have my previous job payslip. Can I just submit 3 months payslip? (I mean I can but will the application be rejected without being reviewed?)

People who met their minimum requirement still got rejected....

If you can't even meet the minimum requirement.....then I guess the answer is pretty clear.

Hi Guys, any advice or sharing on this would be appreciated.

I recently got my PR application approved, for me and my family (wife and kids). Now my mom in law (MIL) is currently staying with us in SG under a dependant pass (tied to an employement pass) helping to take care of the kids.

I called ICA today and enquired what will happen to the Dependant pass holder once I complete the PR formalities (it's actually not very clear on both ICA and MOM website).

I was told that the Dependant pass shall be cancelled through MOM (via Company of the employment pass holder, or the EP holder herself). Once the dependant pass is cancelled, a short term visit pass shall be issued for 30 days, which means the Dependant can continue to stay in SG for 30 days (just like a regular visitor).

All these makes sense... However, if my MIL leaves SG within this 30 days (say back to MY for a few days), she might not be able to come back to SG, because a Malaysia passport holder can only stay in SG for a max of 60 days (out of a 90 day period).

Unless my MIL applies for a Long term visit pass, which will take 4-6 weeks to process. I plan to apply this immediately after we get our PR IC (or even earlier if possible). But the risk remains - If within 30 days my MIL don't get her Long term visit pass approved for whatever reason, she has to leave SG, and might not be allowed to re-enter SG. And the issue is of course no one to take care of the kids.

Yup, I asked and its inclusive of the time spent under the DP.
Thanks for your suggestion.

It is hard to get a job for a audit associate position in mid tier firm in sg ?

current cgpa around 3.4 , in my last trimester now and would like to work in sg.

So in conclusion, in order to start work on 15 Apr, the HR would need to provide me with my IPA letter before my arrival to Singapore? Correct?

The reply from HR came like this :
In that case I will need to follow up to make sure I get my IPA right? The way the e-mail was replied sounds kinda 

their char koay teow is sweet one!!! @#$%^&*()

First time eat really culture shock!

Wait till u try their peppery bak kut teh and their hokkien mee. The hokkien mee is like mee with brown sauce.

I quite like their BKT. As long as you don't directly compare it to KL/Klang one and accept that it's a different 'style,' it's not too bad.

Hey guys, I've been here in sg for a week now... trying to settle my medical check up but I'm cracking my head trying to think of where and when to go since everywhere is so crowded on weekends! Does anyone knows any good place for that around depot road, red hill or tiong bahru?

I need to do X-ray as well and from the current information I've got, I need to do check up at a gp, then go x ray, then go back to gp... arrrrrrr

I can't go to private coz I can't claim medical checkup bills from company... they're too cheapo to pay me back 

I have another question though.

During my application for EP, my company used my old passport number. Before I came to SG to officially start work, I renewed my passport and naturally, my passport number has changed. The reception at the clinic I went to, expressed her concern about my different passport number and she said that the government might not approve my pass or might make things difficult for me. I don't have my old passport with me now but I do have a FIN number already. Would that be sufficient when submitting my results or picking up my pass?

I hope you guys know what I'm writing. I'm quite confused myself. lol

Pros working in SG:

- save more money in RM
- more buying power in Malaysia
- better public transport system & environment
- cheaper internet & mobile phone

Cons working in SG:

- your paid will be much less then $3.4k, probably SGD$2.5-2.8k
- quite impossible to own a car in SG
- super high room rental SGD500-1000 (depends location) in Malaysia you could rent a Apartment/House
- working as foreigner in SG (SG ppl always look down on us & discriminate Malaysian)
- much competitive working environment & demanding (may work >12 hours a day, no work life balance)
