Currently, I don't think even 1 year would stand much chance of getting approved, let alone 6 months. You should have a look at the Singapore Expat forum to get an idea of the current situation, I reckon they have a fairly good discussion forum on PR-related matter.

Not souring you la. Just saying some cases I know of. Member of professional bodies has some weightage. The form has some area to fill in your professional body and achievement right? If no use they won't put inside the form. If really desperate you can put from primary school to date.
See, his wife not in SG no job here also approved...

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.

Kekeke, must read the rules properly.. Residential property.. U still can have "commercial" properties so buy residential unit with commercial title..
1 is trust.. 2nd is cost of transfer.. Rpgt?
You're very right on the top part.. But as for d coy.. D cost of maintaining a coy, esp sdn bhd can be very high.. Which sometimes is more than your yield.. If u have multiple properties then it is worth it

Don't forget financing too.. Will bank finance a shell coy?

Anyone know why Singaporeans damn like to queue-up?

I noted mostly willing to queue-up for a seat in the restaurant for 90 mins just for a bowl of Japanese Ramen for instance. My Goodness...

Ya, like going back to school/uni dormitory.

I'd feel uncomfortable sharing an entire flat or house with a stranger.

Err, if I had not mistaken teban hv limited public facilities nearby.. Nearest is j.east

My Chinese(PRC) girlfriend is currently a statistic postgraduate of Nanjing University in China ( Top 5 in China) and she is expected to graduate in 2014. As i planned to work in Singapore later, so i persuaded she to join me and work in Singapore. 

But i have no information about what kind of job she could get if she wants to work in Singapore. Could anyone tell me about her job prospect or provide any information that will help in this case. By the way, she has a year experience as a U.S stock trader in Shanghai.

i dunnit pay tax    got funding from wda somemore

The more tax you need to pay, the more blessing you have. Anyone also want to pay few millions for tax if possible.

If your office is in Tuas, perhaps. If your office is in Orchard or CBD, Jurong or Changi... good luck getting there before 9. And if it rains, good luck getting there at all.

spm qualifications + working in sg + company car ? The odds are pretty low I would say.

actually you can convert it back to Msia license but if you keep the Sg license, it's s$50 for life

Very true. I have a relative who does that. But suffer that she have to wake up 5AM everyday and leave at 6AM.

Ya correct! We so dumb never thought of the free housing and food.

PR and Citizen driving license no expiry. The 5 year validity is only for nonPR/nonSC.

Ah uncle, what I mean is, for a person with over 10 years working experience and the world top 10 international bank, dealing with big shots and lawyers, you sound, mmm, don't know how to say. A simple call can make you feel so frustrated, some one well over 30, really?

Anyway, someone posted a survey for financial industry few pages back, you might want to take a look.
