i felt that when i start working here too.. even in mosque where singapore malays dont like foreigner wherever they come from, including malaysia..
for my case,
i already rent a room for $400 (this rent price covered by my company, so every month i need to give receipt to my project manager), starting 3 may 2013. before i start i already highlight to them (the agent) i can only stay in house if all is men n its muslims house. when i move in the house only occupied me n the house owner (which is muslim). so when i ask the owner where is another 2 tenant (coz its master bedroom), he said "they already went their hometown". but from the room i can see its not locked and the room kinda empty.. so i just believe the owner said..
then after 1 month i move-in, suddenly the owner said to me there will be a single mother n her daughter will stay in the room.. i kinda shock at first, but i hid from the owner. so i just wait for them to move-in.. they quite an ok mother n daughter, but recently when my mother know about this thing, its unacceptable because as a muslims we cannot stay in one house without blood relative if there's a woman..
so i highlight to my project manager about this problem.. he said "this is ur personal problem", then i said "if u can't help me regarding this matter, i will extend this matter to ur superior"
so from above case, i would like to stay in JB back. living in singapore its too strict. even if its safer, but more hassle. when staying inside, even in saturday n sunday i also need to work.. this thing my project manager never highlight this matter, he only mention the benefit if stay inside, can save time bla bla.. etc.. but actually its a lot tiring when stay inside..
when last time i stay in JB, around 1-2pm i already can go back JB.. n there is no saturday n sunday works..
my question is:
1. because i already sign the agreement to stay in the house, can it be replace by other tenant? but its from the same company that i worked
2. what can i do to further this matter to my PM superior? formal letter signed by me n my mother perhaps ?
May I know you're M'sian Malay or others countries muslim? You're very lucky to get a chance to work in sg. Many ppl told me sporean are racist. I don't really feel that. Until now I stated to work at here I can strongly feel that. Everyday I listened those top management ppls or staffs scold and criticize on M'sian! I can listen their mouth keep saying M'sian... M'sian.... M'sian from morning till afternoon... It is very terrible cultural... Don't forget they also get in a few M'sian to work with them in the office!!!... Are u in construction industry? I know ur feeling... If they tell u everything, of course, u will reject their offer. They will only hire foreigner to fill their empty post if they really can't found local ppl to work with them!... Usually, it's a terrible job... If we accept the offer, it means that we are ready to accept the challenge. If we really cannot do it. It means that we have to go... That's why so many young ppl with all white hair in my company...
