I opened my account with Malaysia IC only 5 years ago, now they have tightened the rules which required proof of residence.
Overheard from my HR that certain branch will not entertain IPA at all.

Anyway, have you found a job?

Hi guys,

I was just wondering does Singapore Technologies hire Malaysian? Or they only consider PR and singaporean only? Any Malaysian (non-PR) working there mind to clarify?

I'm a Singapapore PR...not sure if there's any Malaysian's with EP working with ST...from what I know there are certain things that will be inacessible to me as a SPR

Budget? room type?you just tell the agent your lower end budget then they will tell you if is too low for the room you looking for, i have friend staying at sembawang and ang mo kio single room, one is 500 included aircond(is a condo if not wrong), one is 450 for maid room(utility room), so within the range should be ok gua i think, alway look for cheaper and better room to save money.

Agent can help you find room, no worry, you only pay upon you agreed for the room and agreement are made.
if you don't trust him then don't use him, there are alot more agent.
*
Agent fees 1/2 month of your rental + some stamping fees + 7% GST for a 12 months contract...
1 month fees for a 24 months contract...normally just sign for a 1 year with the owner...then when the time comes...can just make another simple agreement for both parties to sign for extension. Or else...then you can even go on a monthly basis after the initial agreement

Guyys, can i save much with SGD3500 salary? would like to know how much approx i can save. Will be looking for a HDB room with aircon.
*
Depends on your living lifestyle....
Common room with aircon on average +-SGD550 no attached bathroom you want attached bathroom then its a MASTER room at min SGD1000
Mind you the above rates still depends on location. Those nearer towards town area(eg Redhill, Tiong Bahru) a master room may cost you 1.2-1.5k

Meals around SGD450(5 bucks per meal x 3 meals a day x 30 days)
Transport(MRT/Bus) SGD100-200
Necessities(toiletries n etc) SGD100

That's around SGD1,300(common room) and around SGD1,750(master room)

If you don't club/drink/smoke that's the estimated expenses.....

P/S:Once in a while can still go to a decent restaurant for your meals like Ajisen/Pasta Mania/MFM n etc

Your S Pass is tied to that company name...so if you gonna jump ship....the new company will have to apply the S pass for you...and this is subject to the approval of MOM...WHAT IF MOM rejects...

If I were to engage in an agent I will have to at least sign a contract for a one year lease?
*
It will normally be either a 1 year lease(1/2 months agent fee) or 2 years lease(1 month agent fee)
In a normal contract..it will normally have a minimum occupancy period(3-6 months) there after either parties can give xx days/month notice for termination.
You will have stayed that min number of months and to give that xx days/month of notice for you to get back your 1 month deposit.
This also means that if you dont like the place you can still move out within the 1 year lease...depending on whether you want back your deposit(min occupancy period+notice) or NOT
