Any suggestion for accommodation? My future office is in Bukit Batok area

Can a student from Malaysia University internship at Singapore just for three months?

This internship need workpass?

Those money minded landlords... think we are maid.

You'd think it's okay until you arrive in office drenched in sweat.

unfurnished, no washing machine, no wifi, cannot cook.

basically i just rent an empty utility room.

Happens to my previous landlady. She comes in when im at work.

I'm just curious. Typicially how much is the rent hike for HDB room rental per year ? 10% ?

Say, common room - S$700
Rent hike after one year + S$50 ~ S$100

or as much as they want 

In 2008 - common room @ S$400 ~ S$500
In 2014 - some common rooms can go up to S$1000

the one with window. can sidai baju one

just like any other hdb utility room ah.

i think he aunty do not know value or she super OCD so nobody can tahan her, that's why her rent is low.

every night before i go to sleep i will put the chair behind the door.

i am rarely home as well.

The last time i had this SG 350 per month room, but i rejected the offer to go there after i met my malaysian landlord at lakeside. Till today, i dont have complains. Only thing i really wish that she let me cook, I really love to cook but cant  .

The type of dish I cook is not just using electric cooker. 

sigh, so shit eat out everyday. dam sien...

if my working place is near to kranji mrt..which area should i stay better? jurong east or yi shun?
rental fees is the most consideration.
btw, red line or green line to kranji, which 1 is actuali more faster and wont so peak in the morning?

I cant stay at JB. Too lazy to wake up 5 am. Also I need to attend VSS meeting which is usually in the morning.

Kranji at north sure red. Totally agree.

It is possible to find shared room. The hairdresser I was talking to the other day was 3 girls sharing one master bedroom in some hdb somewhere. Unfortunately other than going to mrt station public notice boards I don't know how one would find such rooms.

Having said that ... I really don't understand why you would bother coming to SG if you can only afford a bangala lifestyle.

I have got a job offer from a Sg Public listed company, Basic Sgd2.8k, + overseas allowance, + OT.
Simply asked a question in this thread, and I realize it's actually better to go back to easyroommate.com.sg, at least I have got a few replies which has offer the a common room for share from ranges SGD 280 to SGD500.
The ultimate goal to work in Sg is not to live in a bangala lifestyle, it is to find way to optimize the monthly saving, as well as better job scope and learning perspect.
Here let me share with you what is the saving with SGD 2800
F&B : 500
Rental: 500 (maximum for share room)
Transport: 100
Daily goods: 200
Tax: I think it does not apply to annual income SGD33600
Minimum entertainment and social: 150
Saving : SGD 1350

One benefits of room share is that, it usually didn't bond you in contract of minimum 6 months of tenant period.
While your belief (b4 survey) is that there is no working professional willing for a room share, I actually already have got two contacts on hands.

want to ask..izit better to sign a 6mth contract wf hs owner or 1yr contract? they said if 6mths only, after that the hs owner can choose to raise the rental. how ah..........

Rental is decreasing now....signed shorter may be can nego cheaper sooner

wow 4 years is a lot of experience. 2800 SGD looks like ~ starting pay in my industry - and it happens to be 2800 MYR in Malaysia too. unless ur overseas allowance is very high.

Sales position? Such as? I'm applying sales position as well, but not personal banker or mortgage from bank only.. Is it investment holding company also difficult to enter?

Let this junior banking officer answer your question. No its not about PR or non-PR issue. Its about your CV and stuff, and probably your little advertisement there. The HR probably googled you and saw that. You are not allowed to do so right IIRC to the act.

Six months I guess since you need to give six months pay slips.

Hi guys,

I just started working in Sg and I would love to share some informations that couldn't be found in the first post (or maybe it's buried somewhere in this thread) especially for those newcomers so that you guys know what to prepare/expect before you come to Sg -

Duration of getting EP (card):
From EP application form submission from HR to MOM approval - 1 business day*
From the medical checkup to receiving notification from MOM to get your fingerprint at their office and submission of other required documents - 9 business days*
From scanning your fingerprint and submission of the required documents to getting your EP card - 3 business days*

*the duration might be different for different individuals. Just treat the info as a reference.

The importance of getting your card is that you need it for applications such as bank account, postpaid contract...

Bank account opening:
For DBS/POSB, you will need the EP card and SGD1k to open a saving account. Without the EP card, SGD5k is required for account opening. I am not sure about other banks but I guess they should share almost the same terms and conditions. You will need to check with them if you want to open an account with other banks.

I hope you find the informations useful and have a rough estimation on how long you can get your EP card and how much money you will need to prepare when you come over to work.

Hi guys. Is 1800 considered good enough for fresh grads IT diploma holders? Thanks

Of course Singapore is hotter than PJ because nearer to the garisan khatulistiwa.

Or just put a remark, the priemer LKY is your uncle...

i would like to ask ah..i'm earning below 2.5k but yet i got EP..is EP supposed to be same as S Pass? if it's S Pass, should it be indicated in my pass card ka?

Shhhh... better don't let the locals see this.

oh that means i got EP but EP has many grades? hehe

Ya already screen shot, print out and pass to my MP during meet the MP session. Now writing in Stomp and EDMW to demand answer. They took our jobsss

If 4 years also wipe tables, then may be have enough experience to be chief cleaner supervisory job...

Open your own restaurant is the best bet....

You will have to compete with those workers from China.
Work overtime, I'm talking about / more than 10 hours per day with only one rest day in a week.
If you can, you are hired !  

I'm working in Legal Industry in Singapore.
Always come across cases about workers from China claiming their rights under Employment and Foreign Manpower Act.
I can tell, the only reason why China workers are so much needed here especially F&B and manufacturing industry, is because of their willingness to work without a single rest day given to them.
