Self righteous idiot

When utter filth like you have the gall to call other people racist, sexist etc... you're getting it whether or not you think you need it.

Any type of permit or pass needs to be renewed. PRs have no renewal requirement (REP Reentry Permit is a related but separate matter). And more and more, you will see the permit and pass holders bearing the brunt of any govt pandering to the misguided sentiments of their citizens. As a PR, you are relatively more shielded from such short sighted measures.

You don't need it. The details of the ReEntry Permit is online.

If you use the Auto Gates, you don't need any thing else besides the front cover of your passport. If you go to the counter, just tell the immigration officer you are a PR, and they will straightaway scan your passport.

You always listen to whatever Indian ladies say?

Not every new hire gets $10K a month.

Nobody is ever underpaid. Everybody is always paid exactly the value they can put on the table and what kind of value they manage to take away from the other guy... like a poker game. Like a negotiation.

You're not being paid less than others because you are Malaysian. You are being paid less because you have less stuff to negotiate with. You are a foreigner, they have to get a work permit for you, you have no Singapore experience, in fact you have no experience at all, it's harder to interview you because you're not in the country, if they give you a job, you have to deal with living in a new country, living away from home, finding a place to live, making new friends, learning to take care of yourself... on top of performing satisfactorily in a new job. They hire a local... they have no such issues.

And you are still surprised why they won't offer you the same as a local?

NB... in my experience, Malaysians are paid not one cent less if they can bring the same chips to the poker table as Singaporeans.

Where you stay is not strictly the criteria. It's what happens to your bosses' perception of your performance (rightly or wrongly) due to where you stay.

For example, if you happen to work in an environment where management perception of high performance = more time spent in office, staying in JB might be detrimental to your promotion prospects. However if you are able to be... say, first to arrive and last to leave - despite staying in JB, then the fact that you stay in JB won't matter. But if you arrive no earlier than anybody else and routinely leave on the dot to avoid the jam at CIQ or something... then you have to expect that you won't be as promotable as someone who can stay longer in office.

In my case, nobody cares what time I come into office or leave. I'm just expected to be on time for meetings etc and deliver whatever I'm supposed to deliver on schedule.

Now... that's a double edged sword. If you're fast enough and finish all your stuff early, you go home early. But if you're slow or if you are unable to control how much stuff gets put on your plate, then you're heading for trouble. Don't expect any sympathy if you're staying back well over 5pm.
