1. what form?
2.working pass is employers job. u just sign here n there if necesary (always read tru what they ask u to sign!)
3. ur expectation 1500, or they give u clue of 1500? its very low. but u not miss-type isnt? u said Working-Pass?
4.Dude, u earn 1500 and want to get room for 600? that is huge chunk of ur expenditure! try to get lower, find roommate, stay in JB. u might not save a single penny/ hv entertainment with that salary n room spending.

i think together. coz i supose they submit the offer letter together with the working pass form.
im not so sure tou.
as long as they dont ask u for money at first place, thats alright.
dont fall into scam or company who try to take advantage of ur working need.

staying with owner might reduce the chance of getting dirty toilet.
btw, u bored staying here (Msia) ?
it might get worse if u stay in SG..its more borrring..hahaha

in sg, u never noe what they are Q for,
smtime they just make a line ,
no shop in front, no bus number sign infront,
smhow they just Q, and we wait long enough, then only we noe what Q is that,
i guess generaly they like to Q,
i always see ppl Q for sbs bus after passing Sg immigration
although they have choice to just ride on causeway bus
which has no Q and coming more frequently

ya i second that. the problem i face is
i nd to spend more to go to natural places-
which is outside the country (i.e msia)

here everywhere is building,
natural places oso manmade

hi, im in tampines too!

oso not so sporty n not badminton kaki
smtime go JB for fun, or just go park n meet ppl

Mackiddo, can join yum cha session n fb group oso ar?

1.basically once the Pass approved, go sg as tourist, just simply write on white card u gota stay 2weeks, hardly imigration ask such details.

2.then if the Pass require u to do health check (ie xray n hiv), print out the health check paper from MOM- which is given by company who apply the pass for u. (if no health check required, go direct to step 5 below)

3.go to any clinic. Just show the MOM paper (the title on the paper is: Ministry of Manpower, Medical Examination Form), and ask them how much the health check cost. Compare it with few clinic-mostly is almost d same la . it shouldnt cost more than 50$. In Healthway Medical clinic (its a big chain in sg can find in many township) it cost SGD 44.90
No need fasting, just go in the morning. (for xray n HIV)
healthcheck result can be obtained the 3rd day in the morning.
NOTE: ask ur company if can claim. retain the receipt from clinic and claim to ur company account ppl!

4.Once get the result, tell ur company immediately. They will update the result tru online to MOM. ( if ur company using MOM online registration all this while)
By the time MOM granted the Pass (which is in my case was on that day itself!), actually u can start work immediately. ur pass granted date will be base on this date. u officially in!

5.Go get the Pass card physically (no need immediately, u can do this within few days-week, read instruction on MOM paper).
bring along whatever document needed. ur company should know this matter. usually its ur Passport, passphoto, medical result, and the MOM paper ur company printed out.
They will mention when u can come back to collect the card. it also within few days only.
NOTE: if possible do bring ur own pass photo with white background. They hv shop offer passphoto there, but it cost u like $6 just for 4 passphoto without softcopy.

6.Collect the card, bring it everywhere u go. if go back msia oso must bring this card along with ur passport. From this time onwards, u wont get stamp in ur pasport, they will just scan ur card.
if want to be able to use the fast line in Sg immigration, u can register ur Pass card in Lavender. (i dont use this option, coz most of the time the normal imigraton line oso never hv long Q)


CMIIW ya, TS hopefully can stick this on pg 1, if nd sm edit n corection oso can

btw,where is the best shop (i.e: reliable no tipu2 n offer good price) to buy gadget (i.e laptop and prosumer camera)?
in general is SG with its GST can give better price than Msia?

the funny thing in sg is that whole apartment cost more than renting a room only.
at KL rent a room will be more expensive than renting whole unit and divide the rental among 3-4 people depending on the number of the room.

this is so true.
compare to other country, i feel that sg elderly is the most pathetic.
look at how they work, do cleaning, kopi kia, mcdonalds.
they doesnt seem enjoy their work.
the are not 'aging graciously'.

When i go other country, for e.g in china, the old people go park in the morning, do taichi n dance, then go market talk2 with seller, go home cooking, slep, go back park play mahjong, sing and dance together till evening, go back home watch tv with big family.
looking at them i so envy, feel want to retire asap.

but when i see old people in sg. alamak! i will buy anti-aging pill and pause my age.

second that!!
i think it is like finding easter egg here.
actually companies nd ppl to work, and they might expect someone just like you to be their employee.
and you never know when they try to find you
until you try to find them also! when u meet each other.gotha! you are the lucky one

the thing i realize is that ppl who nvr work here is less likely to find the job within reasonable span of time
compare to those who work here before.
few friends who have worked here before can get hired in a new job less than a month.

i think after have the experience in sg, they zoomed into the work experience more than edu qualification-
at least they know u capable to get pass/permit before

is it a fact/myth that MOM will bare people who jumping jobs after few months?
someone post that statement here before...
so i just wonder.
btw how long u hold ur previous job before change to this new one?

whats the additional charges incurred when u TT from here to Msia?
which way give better rate? the manual money changer, or TT?

ur calculation is feasible- assumed that u hv no liability back home.
master is not everything,and salary depend on ur luck finding the right company in right time.
base on my experience,ur planing wont go exactly like what u want.but definitely u can works toward it just the timing maybe shorter /longer.
if u can work during ur semester break,better find good company in the hope that they could hire u directly after ur graduation thus u dont waste time.
in sg there r posibilities of internships,try find ur luck here,who noe they can employ u after grad.

just wanna left some trace here, before start new thread
