Something new. I don't know how your case is possible. But my sis-in-law asked JPJ recently, the law still same like the time I applied. Only can hold one driving license, have to cancel the other one. I remember they punch hole to my MY driving license when applying.

which JPJ is this ?
few thread back , this is only happening in JB sweat.gif

By right, It is illegal to hold 2 driving license at the same time. But with your Malaysian driving license still around, It would be good when it comes to kopi $$.

how u know, cause the one at serdang got flash light, so far i have not receive any saman and i believe got more than that

Just that it's annoying when a recruiter with a grand total of 3 years experience (including 1 year in recruiting) calls you up and starts throwing numbers that are not grounded in reality. (lack of logic aside and to his credit - he did demonstrate an ability to do divisions and multiplications).
*
since u mention it, i look back
i got my current job from a recruiter that don't even have any experience at all in my line
it was painful to explain the industry to her, she a one man show
i got the job in the end, it is a dream job
till today she still recruiting for the co and know "nuts"

what i learn is be nice to everybody nod.gif

Singapore announces tighter rules for hiring skilled foreigners sweat.gif sweat.gif sweat.gif
http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore...-041034777.html

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's government announced rules on Monday that will force many companies operating in the city-state to consider Singaporeans for skilled job vacancies before turning to candidates from abroad.
From August 2014, firms with more than 25 employees must advertise a vacancy for professional or managerial jobs paying less than S$12,000 (5,992 pounds) a month on a new jobs bank administered by the Singapore Workforce Development Agency for at least 14 days. Only after that period can the company apply for an employment pass to bring in a foreign national.
The city-state will also raise the qualifying salaries for employment pass holders to at least S$3,300 a month, up from the current S$3,000, starting in January 2014.
"Even as we remain open to foreign manpower to complement our local workforce, all firms must make an effort to consider Singaporeans fairly," said acting manpower minister Tan Chuan Jin.
"Singaporeans must still prove themselves able and competitive to take on the higher jobs that they aspire to," he added.
The Ministry of Manpower said it will also scrutinise companies that "have a disproportionately low concentration of Singaporeans" in professional or management positions compared with others in the industry.

So in best case scenario the couple needs to save close to 13 years to buy that condo and X6, and in all that 13 years they need to live frugally, have no kids, no holidays, no entertainment, etc icon_idea.gif ... and after they make the purchase, they still can't pay the monthly installments needed of $8k icon_idea.gif
