Ya, that's the one I booked. Just work from home a few days.

lol...u kuat mah....only <10% of malaysian in sg can do that...

You just need is a laptop, broadband, forward the office phone to your handphone and some discipline to actually sit down to do 6-8 hours of work in your pajamas.

And it helps that my boss is in the US, and I run my own show in Asia.

Find a job in Jurong west ?

Where is you office located ? There are some quite central places like Whampoa, St George, Jln. Rajah going for around $600 (common room), a few bus stops away from MRT if you don't want to stay in too ulu places.

You are right actually but I can't maintain that kinda discipline of working at home. Also my Co secure connection thru a VPN in KL is painfully slow.

My company near one north mrt. Ideal place shouls be around jurong east and clementi. 2moro going to look around and hopefully can find suitable room.

awesoem ...care to share the lobang ???

Simple... get a job where there's nobody in Singapore more senior than you in your function/dept/biz unit. Then you have your tall mountains, distant emperors.

haah ....

me still looking ....aisay ...

Will not knowing Mandarin be a hindrance to your career in SG?
My Chinese ain't really good... but on the bright side, at least I can force myself to pick it up bit by bit over there....

depends on which field u interetest

supply chain and purchasing is needed ...

Depends on whether you need it to be successful in your job.

Professional and legal correspondence and communication in Singapore is in English. If you have a regional job... except for China, Taiwan - Mandarin is not used professionally. Chinese script and is only used in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong (where verbally Cantonese instead of Mandarin is used professionally).

But the fact is that most, if not all ethnic Chinese Singaporeans speak Mandarin. But unless you're dealing with the underbelly of the working classes or the most Chinamen of companies - English or Singlish is usually sufficient (or else where will the local Malays and Indians work?).

i am thinking to take course - logistic & supply chain management. anyone working in this line in singapore? good money prospects?

PM reengurl, she is bigshot in logistics line in SG.

hey, any engineering job to introduce?

If you go down to site, yes, plus hokkian, singlish, thai, tagalog, tamil and bangla language. If you stay in your ivory tower then English is sufficient.

Do most of the Singaporeans write and speak fluent Chinese? I'm thinking if my proficiency in Chinese gives me extra edge over Singaporean candidates if I apply for a job in investment line.

I dont think proficiency in chinese give you an edge, singaporean candidates always have the advantages over other unless the company is looking for cheap labor.

Chinese Singaporeans study Mandarin and Chinese script throughout their entire primary and secondary years and if they want, they can actually study pretty advanced Chinese curriculum in secondary school. Plus they live in an environment where Mandarin is used in daily life.

Would your Malaysian Mandarin really give you an edge over them? Even the PRCs and Taiwanese living in Singapore (who have significantly better mastery of the language) can't utilise that to their advantage (simply because the Singaporean workplace does not call for that level of advanced Mandarin).

Never written a single Chinese word for my working life. Unless you are targeting Malaysian Chinese client, better speak English to the Chinese and Taiwanese. Your slang is different. The client is always right, so my Chinese is consider market Chinese to them.
