Not a good position to advice you on salary range.

I believe it was because I do not have the degree which cause they offer me such an amount. Anyway I believe is a good move for me since this is my 1st job at SG. biggrin.gif

How large of a sum are u referring?
For every difference of 0.01 in the exchange rate with you changing SGD1k, it is only RM10.
Do you think it is worth the time and cost travelling around the island for that amount?
I recommend that you go checkout the money changers around you and see which one offer you better rates.
I know the money changer inside causeway point has very pathetic rates though... laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Around SGD14K. I don't want change in Malaysia as the gap is quite big. Also, withdraw in Malaysia for my SG bank account, the rate even worst.

i have tried wire transfer, bank check, western union, paypal when i tried to use my foreign account's savings. what i found was that i lost tonnes when the local bank converted the $$ with their own rate instead of the spot rate.
I now withdraw money at ATM. This way, i get good rate, and i still have more after taking into account all the transaction fees my foreign bank charges.
I too think you can apply for a travel credit card that waives international transaction fees with you bank in Singapore. A credit card gives you the BEST conversion rate. Not having to carry a big sum of cash around is a big plus point too.

The "/" is confusing. Are you separating the buy and sell rate with a "/"? Highly unlikely.

I think is a selling rate. Meaning you pay RM2.67 or RM 2.69 to buy S$1.00.

If I need to prioritize, I will prefer a "good" landlord/landlady which you can only identify through referral.

Good can be many terms. I think convenience is the most important to those need to take public transport. Food court and convenient store also need to take into consideration.

True! I am taking all those into account when looking for one. Gosh, it sure is not easy to find a place to rent in SG!
