Need washabushi MacKiddo or Fiona Chin to confirm since they are the only Malaysians I know who own cars in SG, but ...

... what happens if you get into an accident? I imagine you wouldn't have any insurance cover at all.

What if you hit a car which isn't worthless? You pay from your own pocket?

Sell off everything in Malaysia, or just risk it lor. Same thing as how PR's are not allowed to rent out whole HDB, or Singaporeans can't rent out whole unit before MOP, but so many people do that "lock one room" wayang anyway.

Apparently nobody told that to the hiring team in the banks based in CBP because during lunchtime it looks like Little India.

You never update with MOM?

Ask your HR whether they do or not lor. For my company HR never do, so I updated MOM by myself (made appointment at EPSC, etc). After update new passport number with MOM then can pass autogate liao.

PM reengurl, she is bigshot in logistics line in SG.

Because the people who queue are more picky about their food than you are, or at that moment in time they have a hankering for that particular food/cuisine/restaurant.

For me I wouldn't come, unless you are fairly confident that your income growth / promotion prospects / etc is bigger than if you had stayed in KL. 3k is not a lot of money in SG; you'd have to take all the transport and housing downgrades but wouldn't have much to compensate upwards in other areas.

bkt there might be malaysian version but it freaking sucks.

most people say Arcade at Raffles gives best rates in SG. But unless you are changing huge amount, typically for commonly traded currencies it might not be worth the trip there. For me, changing RM I will just do it in Bedok where I live.

Examples of wrongful claims

Travelling expenses incurred to and from home and office.


Encashment of CPF is fully taxable. You can't claim CPF relief unless it's actually paid into CPF.

I think your first thought was correct. SG works on a calendar tax year, so for Aug-Dec 2013 you could be taxed at non resident i.e. 15% rates. However by early 2014 you would have then changed classification to tax resident under the '183 days over 2 years' rule, and would be able to claim back your overpaid tax amount. Though I don't know what the timing is for that / how to do the reclaim.

I suppose your family will live in Johor go to school in Johor etc while you alone commute into SG? Any particular reason why not just relocate everyone to SG?

uh ... your pm is correct what. unless the room you are staying in is arranged by the company, why should they bother about it?

sos? spf site doesn't segregate between local and foreign registered vehicles.

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.

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
