QUOTE(vincentwmh @ Sep 25 2013, 12:44 PM) this is important:- use back your original FIN no when you do new application when you wanna make a comeback. I don't see any relevant of doing this or how this could improve your odds of getting a job in Sg

QUOTE(deodorant @ Sep 26 2013, 03:52 PM) $1.7k is pretty low. Gotta be prepared to live a pretty sad life quite frugally, transport, room rental and food alone will easily eat up 70+% of that, leaving you with not much in the way of luxury spending, shopping, entertainment, savings, etc. Up to you lor depends how desperate you are to get a foothold in SG, and whether you believe you are capable enough to rise through the ranks (relatively) quickly. S$1.7k is kinda low but not impossible. I heard of a forumer who earns merely $1750 here, working as PETROL STATION PUMP ATTENDANT MĒNTŌR or something. Just have too be careful on what u spend on. No Starbucks, no clubbing, no going to cinema, no expensive meal :/

QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ Sep 30 2013, 11:19 AM) Personally, if the intention is to start a family in Singapore, it makes no economic sense to retain your malaysian citizenship, and convert over to Singapore. (except for the cost of the 2 year PR that your kid has to face) - in which case, once you convert, you can then opt for the HDB flat. My personal view is, working in Singapore is better in the long run, if the intention is to build up a big pot of gold, send it back to malaysia (or wherever), and then live a less stressful life supported by that pot that you made here in SG... (doesn't apply for the top 10% obviously) for me, security, medical facilities, education and a less corrupted society is the main consideration, less about $. Malaysia lack of that, seriously.
