I don't know what industry you're in.  But with 5 years experience, 3K is a bit underpaid.  Consider a Singapore fresh business grad got average $4,000 and median $3,500 according to the latest survey conducted by their government.

I also have 5 years experience here in Malaysia.  After working a while in KL, I have used to certain things and if you ask me to think of leaving here, meaning leaving my family and friends behind, it is a bit awful.

But I'm also quite fed up about this election results    I see bleak future for Malaysia. If good opportunities from overseas come, I think I will have no hesitation to work there and settle down there before I can't. The notion of seeing my future generation suffer here and being deprived of education is even more awful.

Thanks for the info 

I am in medical industry. dip in medical & deg in management. My pay in Msia is nearly 4k. I still able to send money home. In Msia, I can rent a whole apartment with RM 1k, in Sg with SGD 900 I can only rent a masterbedroom
I didn know 5 years experience can get so much.

@goldconnection I was so disappointed with our gov that I decided to leave. But leaving the freedom of driving around and and my dog and my dear friends kinda kills me.

It really makes me wonder how come so many ppl wanted to go into Sg??I the prospect of working in Sg better?? Dilemma!!!I have to reply them asap d.. HOW??

Btw, anyone working at CBP?

enermax,

marine telco in Petronas ICT , i guess for MMHE pasir gudang?
since you already moved to Johor and stay with your parents, then it is easier to decide , as you had moved from KL > JB already.
Well, u have decided already

its a good offer if 1:1 and even better if the Britain co even give u CPF encashment, which you can save to UT for long term as EPF saving.

like keelim said, mentally and physically prepared for daily commuting in/out SG via Woodlands. Also be mentally and physically prepared working here as its not the same as working in malaysian environment in petronas/mmhe/iperintis.

Hope your EP approved without problem.

anyway, answering your question with my little exp of commuting. Lester1987 has more details.

Cost wise : MY bike vs SG bike
MY bike
Daily S$4 VEP
Daily S$5 ERP if no IU - if your route to office has ERP gantry activated during your travelling to office.
Else pay SG$100+ for IU installation.
Petrol can fill in MY Ron95
Pakai till bike kaput or 20 yrs ++
Can buy Naza Blade 250 
Kapcai EX5 cheap to buy and maintain.

SG Bike
No VEP
ERP paid as per gantry charged
Petrol still can fill MY Ron95
Pakai till 10yrs (if new) or buy used renew COE later (S$2k)
3rd party ins for <200CC is ~ S$300
Kapcai price is 1:1 MY price.

had been submitted quite numbers of applications in jobstreets but none of them replied. 

Do I still need to convert my MY driving license to ride my MY bike in SG?

Or just converte the license if one day I buy SG bike.....

Need explanation on this friends..

megadisc, u are so lazy and kept on putting value comments to kick up your post count. good luck on your job hunting.

dude... u missed out income tax, that's a huge deduction.. 

the work permit , no tax wan leh ..

lies 

it can work leh, since the phone has internet ...that'already keeps u bz most of the time ..

I HIGHLY DOUBT any company - that doesn't even have an email domain and uses yahoo freemail to receive job applications - can offer anything worth looking at.

Hi all, I have a question here..

So I was hunting for a job in singapore and applied some jobs thru Jobstreet.. some of the applications are under direct company application while some are under recruitment company.

So there was a person from recruitment company called me up for an interview and this noon I had my interview session with him.. The interview went smoothly and he introduced the job position (company background, benefits, allowance + OT etc) that I have applied for.

Then at the end of the interview, the interviewer said he will send my CV to the company and it's up to the company whether they'd like to interview me again or not..

So with the help of recruitment agency, do you think the chance of me being called up will be high? 

I have been sending applications since 2 weeks+ ago and today was the first interview 

Hopefully i stand a higher chance through recruitment agency >< am really desperate for a job

Couldn't agree more on this. LOL!!!

I completed one week working in sg. I haven't collect my pass yet. I can strongly feel that racist cultural in my company!

is it not advisable to travel from jb to sg by car everyday?

Ya free for PR  .

Save time for unnecessary trouble. They cannot charge you one, maybe waste few hours of your time.

how is the haze in sg?

Hi taikos.. *raise hand*
ill need to have a meeting with dunno who and who before confirmation of my application. The process takes about 2 weeks to a month. (much longer time)

Anyway, I might be worried too much but do you think I still stand a chance of getting the job? As what my frens said, my chance of securing the job is much much higher as I made it to the second interview after all. What say you?

Yup... in Starbuck while having latte... coz the Norway director said that he prefer unorthodox way of interview... but thank god... akhirnya I got the job...

The bonus is I can stay closer with my parents as they in Johor now...

Fresh graduate get job in SG... engineering field... is very good for you... it will boost up your resume and career flow...

Anyone noe what is the parking rate at JB Sentral area?

Now MBJB towing motorbikes around that area liao...

Well, gf never intro any to me.. lol.. ok I gonna pm either of them and see what is.. lol
