Anyone can tell me why there is not even one economic mixed rice stall in Singpaore that allows their patrons to pick up their dishes individually like wat we used to in malaysia?

The stalls generally charge on the types and number of dishes you select. This is more objective and as you build rapport with the owners/workers, you are rewarded with some visible top-up as a repeat customer.

In Msia, you decide the amount you desire but with no weighing system, the stall owners may charge you indiscriminately.

As both systems are still subject to abuse, I prefer the former which creates less ground for dispute.

Some not so fortunate, own family, parents and in-laws each chose one place to stay, hard to juggle.

Maybe they got other commitment lo. Or feel better staying in home country. laugh.gif

Staying too close to work make you feel like you never get out of your workplace. I stayed within walking distance to my office for few months. Looking out the window I can see my boss room, feel like the boss is watching me shakehead.gif Endure until the free NDP fireworks and F1 then move back to old place after renovation. Prefer trees than concrete jungle. For the tree people! thumbup.gif

Singapore announces tighter rules for hiring skilled foreigners sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif
http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore...-041034777.html

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's government announced rules on Monday that will force many companies operating in the city-state to consider Singaporeans for skilled job vacancies before turning to candidates from abroad.
From August 2014, firms with more than 25 employees must advertise a vacancy for professional or managerial jobs paying less than S$12,000 (5,992 pounds) a month on a new jobs bank administered by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency for at least 14 days. Only after that period can the company apply for an employment pass to bring in a foreign national.
The city-state will also raise the qualifying salaries for employment pass holders to at least S$3,300 a month, up from the current S$3,000, starting in January 2014.
"Even as we remain open to foreign manpower to complement our local workforce, all firms must make an effort to consider Singaporeans fairly," said acting manpower minister Tan Chuan Jin.
"Singaporeans must still prove themselves able and competitive to take on the higher jobs that they aspire to," he added.
The Ministry of Manpower said it will also scrutinise companies that "have a disproportionately low concentration of Singaporeans" in professional or management positions compared with others in the industry.
