I think he is very filial piety

He is a 90% troll. Take it with a pinch of salt.

I don't know where you are getting to in guiding young couples to start a family in Singapore. Throwing in an X6 with a S$1.6Mil condo example; is analogous to killing the self-esteem of a guy struggling to decide a S$1.7k flat monthly pay.

85 to 90% of locals stay in Public Housing in Singapore and only the 60th decile and above owns a car. For all the intents and purposes of your post, it just suggests that you will either struggle to start a family young, or you just die trying. Extrapolating your "guide" attest to this.

such a filial child

RESPECT TO THE MAX !

Lifestyles of the rich & the famous 

Haha..I also dint expected ..when they send me offer letter only realize .

Any sober mind formers here also can do the calculation n many don't even need to think further. Even buy a Toyota vids also think 3 - 4 times.

When she taruh a 1.6 mil condo. It is still understandable, but putting in the close to half a mil x6, I don't see any logic there except to show off or troll

Urgent.. im looking for a room in sg. Can someone advice me to looking for a room in sg? Normally they will place room to rent ads at notice board or what?

Thanks megadisc.. they will have notice board for room to rent in all cold storage branch? seven eleven also have?

Thanks alaskabunny... but, all the bus stop that I go all kosong one... from my current stay to company no any ads on room to rent...

I am trying to give some figure for starting a family in SG, just like the listed living cost in the 1st page which is more to a single person. You can take the car out, but at least must have a roof over the family.

When foreigner come here they not local so HDB out straight away. Would take sometime to get PR. Some family cannot buy a HDB even after they become PR. New PRs - wait three years, only one PR other half home maker, dependent PR - like not eligible - this one I not sure, have properties overseas.

The smallest 2 bedroom condo 800-900 sq ft also cross the 1 mil mark already.

Personally I think car is a necessity when you have a family, especially with young kids. Not to bring out the X6, main point its the 50% down payment. MY 10% down payment, opt for Perodua if starting out, few k can get you a car. SG 50%, with COE its min 50-60k to come out with a car.

U mean the legal ads posting at bus interchange something like kranji or toa payoh interchange right?

the main point for flak u get is as wat rexona said...

Use the autogate for MY-SIN and SIN-MY. Reprint it online or go down to ICA for another one.

In one of my family trip, brother was stopped by the immigration office during entry to Swiss, asking for the REP because we departed from Changi but no departure chop.

Another trip back from China, BF stopped by the departure immigration office asking for the REP.

Both cases end up with a lot of hassle explaining and phone calls but still got through in the end. Guys!    

P.S. Where is the middle finger picture

An investment bank came to me with an offer of 55.5k basic annum for an analyst position. Was quite surprised by the offer, considering i have zero exp in banking. The offer is way higher than what i demanded too (43k annum). No wonder all the singaporeans are chasing the jobs in the cbd.

A bit on the low side, maybe you demand too low or not finance related degree? They offered double that amount for bizad fresh grad and 5.8 k for engineering fresh grad in 2006. Should be higher now...

Wouldnt that be an ideal world

can anyone enlighten me on this? 

Depend on the type of work you do, you may be required to work at odd hours, midnight, early morning so you can have an online meeting with your colleague overseas. Don't worry about their sleep and life, its always you staying up for the online meeting. And your local boss expect you to come to work at 9am the following day to have a meeting about your meeting yesterday night. Working hour is long, very long but I think you will do ok coming from engineering, 24 hour contactable, forget about movies, concerts and gatherings.

Boss comment on the brand of your dress, bags, the car you driving, even the place you stay so to paint a picture to outsiders they are doing very well to attract more talented people into the industry and also to their clients.

These are what I gathered from my coursemates who worked at ang moh investment banks, one of which one of my very good friend from uni so I don't think she is hiding or boasting anything. Went for one US IB before graduate just to see what they will be offering and partly due to peer pressure but never take up the offer, but still end up working in bank . Bankers look good if you look at the money side. I don't get satisfaction doing my work, its feel like only helping the rich getting richer. Want to do something more meaningful like doctor, dentist or engineer, maybe nurse too helping those who really needed it.

who still looking job in Singapore?
