Spend the travelling time to earn more better than saving money by spending time.

I thought is BOA and not SIA for registration?

Archi right? Don't expect to go home on time... Thomson road is very long, can think of CW5 from CIQ which stop at Newton and do some walking.

If you take AA, got free bus from JB custom. Or take bus from JB sentral to Senai.

If you are staying in JB for the sake of saving the rent money only then it is not a wise decision. I posted this before, you can use your travelling time to earn much more than your SG rent. You can calculate what is your per hour pay, then do some maths and see how much money you wasted travelling to work. Penny wise, pound foolish. A day or two of OT is more than enough to pay for the rent in some case. The left over time you can spend enjoying your life.

I can only understand why people choose to cross the border daily for the few reasons such as staying with family across the border, staying in own property with the comfort of own home, die die want to stay in JB for the love of Malaysia, and too much free time...

You are comparing driving and taking company transport. If you stay and drive in SG then your travelling time to Jurong Island won't be 3 hours, most likely less than the time taken now.

Law say cannot rent out for short term, hdb, condo, landed in residential area marked by URA. And if hdb then also cannot rent to social visit pass people. So yeah your news is correct if you belong to the above. You will get into trouble if you have nasty neighbours reporting you.

Not sure if free can or not, there maybe some other thing. Safest bet is put your name inside the tenant agreement. Always a saying, do whatever you want, just don't get caught Think they will let you go with a warning or what for the first time. Your landlord get into more trouble than you.

SG will check your stay when you going out, 30 days in your white card I think.

Its a very small room, one bed one wardrobe, and sometime no windows...

Bedbug is not related to cleanliness, main spread is air travel from the luggage. I get that a lot even house got maid.

Bedbug don't normally go into the house unless it was brought back from outside. Planes, hotels etc. Normally I get it when I come back from travelling, luggage being mix around with others in the bottom of the plane. My housemates seldom travel so I am the main suspect hehe. Try note the next time you got bedbug attack, any of your housemates travel overseas or not. Very annoying bug.

Apply employment pass?

Liquor and cigarettes full tax. Electronics if over 400 SGD, pay GST.

Can apply for s-pass or e-pass with professional cert I think. Anyway, all these should be done by your office.

Take the SIM only postpaid plan, same price, no subsidised phone, but no contract.

You done anything wrong? Blacklisted by MY?

Think he will go borrow ah long with your EP.

20%? Oh no where to report? My boss only pay 15 or 16%...

Ya, can pay stamp duty and legal fees using your "own" money inside CPF.

Bank won't lend you that amount under house loan because they can't recover it from your house value. Personal loan maybe, but very high interest.
