So in other words you have no sos tp/spf determines what license you need to drive in SG, doesn't it? the spf website says you need a SG license to "drive a vehicle" in SG. I would assume that this applies equally to foreign and local registered vehicles.

why would this applies to foreign vehicle since it's Singapore Police Force talking about regulations in Singapore ? The sos is still the same wordings, just ones need to interprets is correctly together with LTA regulations

You always flame Alaskanbunny and RabbitS for talking out of his a$s when he simply open his mouth and here you are doing the same thing. You are driving in Singapore, why wouldn't SPF regulations apply? Until and unless you can show some black and white (since you also always flame Lester1987 when he starts talking his by right by left), you're just operating on conjecture.

Like what seantang said earlier, LTA governs whether you can (or can't) use a foreign registered vehicle in SG. TP/SPF governs the license you need to have once you're driving on SG roads. To me the SPF website wording of "drive a vehicle in Singapore" applies equally to SG and foreign registered vehicles.

For all others: Read up the respective SPF and LTA websites and decide for yourself

I have got an interview tmr.. Hope to join you guys working in SG soon!

I flame or not is non of your f**king business.

SPF is not regulating someone who is staying in a foreign country and driving a foreign car (since foreigner holding work pass staying in Sg can't drive foreign vehicle). The foreign car is under LTA, as simple as that. It's just you get it or you don't on Sean's statements.

For the info you want;

If you wanna drive foreign registered vehicle in Sg ---> LTA
If you wanna drive local registered vehicle in Sg ---> SPF

I dunno whether you are trolling or being serious. SPF regulations will apply because he is driving in Singapore on Singapore roads. By your troll logic, that person doesn't need to adhere to any of TP's traffic laws and can freely run red lights, drive in bus lanes and speed to his heart's content

SPF regulations is for the driver to have a valid driving license while he's operating a vehicle in Singapore.

all the best to you

Staff benefits not valued highly by Asia-Pac employees: Survey

MORE Asia-Pacific employers are zooming in on staff benefits as a carrot to retain or woo talent in a highly competitive market.

Yet, a significant proportion of employees appear to undervalue these benefits, according to a recent survey by consulting firm Towers Watson.

"The findings raise troubling questions about the effectiveness and value derived from these strategies," said Mr Matthew Jackson, Towers Watson's Asia-Pacific director of benefits optimisation, in a statement.

The 2013 Asia-Pacific Employee Benefit Trends Survey found that four out of 10 employers in the region are spending more than 20 per cent of their payroll on providing staff benefits, such as an-nual leave, medical insurance and gym memberships.

The biggest spenders are employers in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Singapore employers appear to be lagging, with 42 per cent spending less than 20 per cent of payroll on benefits while 33 per cent spend 20 to 40 per cent.

Just over half said their benefits were not valued highly by employees, with 15 per cent feeling they were not valued at all. That calls for a different strategy than a one-size-fits-all benefits portfolio, said Mr Jackson.

Another factor explaining the lack of appreciation of such benefits could be a lack of engagement with staff on these plans. The report found 31 per cent do not communicate with employees when it comes to their benefits.

Employers also need to recognise diversity. "Different employees have different needs. Flexible benefits are a great way to do this, as it enables employees to pick and choose benefits that appeal to them," said Mr Andrew Heard, Towers Watson's managing director, Asia-Pacific, Benefits.

A quarter of employers in Singapore and Malaysia do not have a well-articulated plan on benefits, way behind employers in mainland China and Taiwan.

Benefit strategies play a key role in talent management strategy. "For the majority, it's no longer a 'nice-to-have', but a 'must-have'," the report said.

The survey was conducted between February and March among 1,066 employers in the region.
