Hahahha..

I have rejected the Singapore offer
I feel so relieved. One less option to consider. But I construct the e-mail with a very heavyheart.
Opportunity don't knock my the same door twice, if i give up the opportunity I got in M'sia, I might not get it again.
Same thing with Sg tho. But I do not want to compromise my happiness.

I am happy with my Swift so won't be changing.

Good for you. Move forward and don't regret.

Anyone bought any medical insurance + 36 major illness in SG?

Sometimes happiness matters more than money, in my opinion.
For me personally, I won't even consider working in SG if not for the money.

Well, if it is not worth it don't take it.. No point taking it then have tonnes of headache..

For critical illness.. Yes

All the best in your future undertakings..! hehe...

Gosh i am so happy. At least non of you said " Stupid to reject that offer"
Hope is a right move!! Thanks peeps!!

which insurance? Premium per annum? Sum assured?
Mine to share? Cos I am planning to buy one this year.

actually of people here in the forum is quite happy and i think they din really share that happiness with u only

yes yes keep the Sg secret among US, dun need more malaysian coming ok ok :

As long as you're happy with your decision, that's all one can hope for.

In my opinion, the best time to come to Sg to work is immediately after graduating, when you're ready to start a new phase of life and not too tied up with relationship baggage.

The other good time to move is when you're mid-career and your employer is willing to compensate you handsomely to give up your relationship baggage or pay you enough to bring all your baggage over here.

you can buy the critical illnesses insurance alone or as a component of other insurance product.

I buy those saving and investment type (because I don’t know how to invest) insurance that come with life, disability and critical illnesses protection. I pay monthly premium for my total sum assured (your prize money if you hit the jackpot). I said Total sum assured because each of the life, disability and critical illnesses has its own sum which I can set. To win your total sum assured, you need to get critically sick and permanent disable before you die. If you die healthy then the insurance company win over your premium paid for disability and critical illnesses. Of course not all of us wish to hit the grand jackpot that's why I buy those saving and investment plan. At least, I get back my money plus a little interest if I am still healthy by the time my policies expired.

For those investment and saving policies that require you to pay monthly, you can buy a crisis cover. In the event you are down with illnesses or disability, you get the pay-out (sum assured) and the waiver for all the monthly premium till the end of your policy.

For medical insurance, I only have my upgraded medi-shield. Cheap and good enough.

nope not me

hi guys, i just got an offer from a Singapore company and they said they will apply a S pass for me if the quota is still available.

After i get back from the interview, i used MOM website's Self Assessment Tool and the result stated that I am likely to qualify for both Employment Pass (EP) and S Pass.

However, i noticed that the basic requirement for Employment Pass (EP) is to earn a monthly salary of SGD 3k, but my salary is way below that figure, does that mean i still qualified for the Employment pass according to the self assessment tools?

and besides that, what is the major differences of EP and S pass.

Below 3k mean not eligible for EP.

Both allow you to work. EP can use fast immigration lane, bring in family members.

hahhaha, but dun give up... maybe u can get better offer next time

pm u..

some sad also

correction, if u die healthy or bcoz of illness not covered.. then all gone, but i believe for the investment/savings u get it back..

medical usually company's grp insurance covers it...

EP
u pay ur own tax
can bring family member if u earn >4k
less hassle when applying for services

SP
company have to pay levy, u dont pay tax
cannot bring family over
have to pay for deposit... etc etc when applying pong line, bank acct, mobile internet... etc etc

if u ask me, no diff if u r single

that means u have a university degree but offer way less than that figure. u serious? many of my friends doesn't have a degree and getting more than that figure.
Not sure how u define "way less" but i think u should be getting at least 2.3k as a degree holder. unless u got a job as a Mc.d worker with ur degree.

Dear all forumerz member, tuan tuan, puan puan, cik cik, taiko taiko and all sifu sifu...

I want to ask your guys opinion regarding a job offer from SG.

I just be clear with all the details for your guys view.

I work now in O&G fields as marine telco. engineer. Current company is Petronas ICT (formerly known as iPerintis) with basic MYR 3k and plus other allowance.

This telco company from Britain offering me job to be base in their SG office with basic SGD 3k and plus other allowance.

If I take the job... I will deal with new challenge and travel extensively as I will support Asia Pacific Region and New Zealand. In my current company.. I more like the boss and my work scope is monitoring the vendor in project (feel like there are no improvement in my work environment now because more to see and watch job).

The interesting part of SG offer offcourse money.

I plan to ride my bike daily for office hour job in SG.

Can I have your guys opinion.. should I take the offer?

Rasa serba salah mau take this offer or not... by the way... anyone may experience the cost for motorcyle usage in and out SG daily...

Thank you guys...

I just buy a house for my mom in the Skudai area.

Forget to tell... it is a permanent position in SG as per mention by the HR and my current position also permanent...

You should compute your salary net of tax. So the calculation should include your EPF as well. But on relative terms, the dollar and cents will be higher if you are working in SG. The conversion will help tremendously in your mortgage payment and spending power in Johor.

The job exposure seems to be better with APAC responsibility. I love New Zealand and will be bias here. The daily commute will be painful but make sure you are prepared for it mentally and physically. I hope you are not commuting from Skudai daily because that is going to be very demanding.

Take a long term view of the prospects. As an outsider, it looks pretty good but negotiate for a few more hundreds will seal the deal for me.
