why worry??....my wife works in malaysia n not stay in singapore, applied PR last year also get approved within 3 months.....so, take your chance...

She apply on her own account or you sponsor her under spouse PR scheme?

Normally have to work how long to be safe in applying the PR? Abit scared cause I saw my colleague from Pakistan got his EP rejected... He worked in my company for 2 years ady, with a engineering degree + MBA...

Chill guys yo. chillax   
Hehe.

Anyway, I'll probably try my luck sometime next year then. Not gonna risk it.
On forex, MYR is strengthening against SGD. Personally I suspect MYR will continue to strengthen against the back of post-election spending for the short term, so I'm  thinking of holding back on sending cash back to KL.. But anyone here thinks I should still send cash back anyway?

Next question is.. anyone knows a good cheap massage (the clean and proper kind)? My muscles are sore all over from camping in front of my laptop all day

With 5 years exp in financial industry, how much can I expect in Singapore? I'm looking into investment analyst vacancies. I tried to search for the salary survey report in those recruitment firm, but the range quoted quite big...

So if I put the amount I get here in Malaysia and change the sign to SGD, is it fair?

My BF only 1.8k when he started working in engineering field. So worry about my future that time 
  How to buy house to get married with that kind of salary? How to make more babies for government? Should tell my future daughter no engineering BF please.

I think the figures on the low side. Last time I see the pay is not like that.

Hi guys,

I just have this thought came to my mind.
Let's say I buy a car in SG right now.
When the 10 years COE nearly expired, I drive this car back to Malaysia and never return to SG.

Possible?

Like tat, we do not need to scrap the car. No need to renew road tax in SG and MY (as the MY police will not know this is a COE expired car or must have thought this car already purchased roadtax in SG)

He don't want switch. Stubborn guy. Job diversification, if financial tsunami one of us still have job to feed (maggi to) the other one.
Not necessary must scrap the car. Can keep at your home as decoration, just can not drive on the streets. The car still belong to you. You can export it back to Malaysia, do some paper work and become a registered Malaysian car. Driving an illegal car then good luck when you bang other people on the road.

My car COE expired 1-2 years ago, can renew the COE with lower rate call prevailing quota something PQP, no need to bid for new one. If want new car then have to bid, old car got few options depend on what you want. The car agent will do all these for you just pay money can already.

what a headache..i plan to buy hdb resale but i cant do so cos i am not allowed to hold any foreign property....this strict rule is killing a lot of people..in the event if hdb found out, ur hdb may risk of being repossessed.

One can always transfer the name to a family member.
I know my friends do it that way.

That's an option... but not 100% foolproof.

If your family member happens to be not very wise with their financial management, gambler etc... then you might one day find that there's nothing left of your house except for an apology.

It may also be not so drama... but let say you transfer to your sibling, and he/she unfortunately passes without leaving a will, then that property goes to his/her spouse... who may or may not be as straightforward as your sibling. Attitude of in-laws notwithstanding, without a will, the property will be stuck for quite a while the courts work out the details. Worse is your in-law also passes (car accident etc), then the property will be shared amongst the parents and siblings of both your sibling and your in-law. Then good luck trying to get it back.

If it were me... I'd set up a Sdn Bhd, sell the property to the company, and issue the shares back to me. Then I technically own a property company, not a property. If you want to be ultra safe... (maybe HDB's lawyer in Malaysia is conscientious enough to do both a title search AND a company search), then issue the shares to your parents or siblings and amend the M&A and AA that upon the death of a shareholder, the shares will be automatically distributed to the remaining shareholders.

Just annual financial statements and audit for the ROS annual return. Besides that an annual tax return. Maybe because I was from the industry... will take me about 2-3 hours to do everything except the audit (which I can get any number of friends to sign off).

With you as the personal guarantor, yes.

Yes. Residential properties n not commercial. That's also another choice by buying commercial properties instead of residential.

IMHO, the cost is acceptable given the risks that it mitigates.

Unless it's a singapore company, then you can make it an exempt private company then u don't have to audit..

Urgent... Please advise on where to collect my EP. Should I go to "Work permit service centre" at Tanjong Pagar Keppel Rd or "Employment pass service centre" at Upper Circuit Rd? HR inform me that MOM has been approved my EP application on today. Is that I must go down to sg and collect my EP within 7 working days start on the aprroved date by MOM?

Makes no difference to the decision. All this will apply equally even if you own the property personally as an individual.

ouch ...didnt know that roaming call so expensive ...
charge 30cents from digi per minit
another
charge 80cents from singtel per minit

learn another lesson ...izzit the same for u guys ???

Hi guys, need help here. I just renewed my passport last month. I have informed my company and updated my info. But I still unable to go through the scanning at Singapore Custom. After checking with officer there, I realized I need to update my passport through their card office ( something like that ).
But I can only do this when I go back to Malaysia. Is there any other way that I can update this without going to Singapore Custom? Thanks.

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.

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

Cause Msia are more hardworking and complaint less.

no such rule. Malaysian on work pass can use their licence as long as they want to ride/drive Malaysia registered vehicle into Sg, as long as they do not not stay in Sg

i stayed in teban before......nice place but if u got no transport, u got to take bus to the Jurong East MRT.

But really, when you move up the hierarchy the distinction between finance and engineering diminishes because its about business development and asset management.

Hello guys, I hope you guys can help me please.
I just got a professional job offer from a company in Singapore. My company location is near Chinatown at Magazine Road.

So, right now I am trying to find an affordable place less than S$ 1000 to stay.

Anyone of you have any good accommodation recommendations or room to share?

I know that on the 1st page of this forum there are some websites with the accommodation links but I hope that I can stay with Malaysian.

I am a male Malaysian Chinese from Sarawak.

Thanks you.    

Guys, anyone staying in Tampines area?

After months of depositing resume  finally manage to secure an interview and got my offer 

Little advice for fellow Malaysian who intending to work here, get yourself a Singapore address and number and put them in your resume
It does make a difference for me, but it's only applicable when you are unemployed

Cheers

time, cost, expanses all greatly reduce. having great food in JB as well. unlike in singapore have to go those hawker that not bearable at all.

hey guys, im currently filling up the employment pass application form. As i just finished my degree last month and my convo will be in October, how can i provide the certificate for my education?

You're being silly and putting unnecessary pressure on yourself to go for the FIRST room you see. What if it's a borderline crappy room cos it's dirty smelly far whatever? You might feel like aiya just sign la otherwise I wasted my entire trip coming down here for nothing and then end up f*cking yourself for a year. Just come down when you start work and stay with a friend/relative/budget hotel/backpacker lodge for a couple weeks and then slowly comfortably look for a better room IMO.

well,

i'm just answering ur question of the 'cheapest' 

going through agent? why not arrange few viewings a day? if want sign contract makr sure got money to pay deposit and agent fees yah...

Buy some duty free liquor or perfume when you flying back from Changi, save more than the ticket price already.

is the cost saving already after paying tax at destination country?

i beg to differ. My employment starts on the first and i only have 2 weeks left to go. And most cheap rooms around 500$ are snapped out within days. My plan now is to arrange multiple viewings on the day itself, arrive very early morning and depart at midnight. The 1 day time window should be enough i guess. I dont have to carry luggage for now because, my company will be sponsoring my flight the day before employment starts. Arrive last minute and backpack with thousands of dollars in my pocket is a nono regardless how good the security is. And too bad i have no friend here.

alright, great! now i have smt to spend during the weekend haha, thx
sad that couldnt bt download

what are the things i need to take care of if i want to drive in singapore with my desktop?

Thanks bro. Sadly HDB latest decision still heartbreaking...

Bunny, promoted to kitchen now. No need to serve customer and clean tables

It's that need to pay first then claim later. But the amount claimable is base on the rate in Malaysia.

Another clause is the claim only applicable if the insured person leave Malaysia not more than 90 days.
