so if u drive to jpj...u will be stranded there? cause u got no license to drive home
You do not even need to be present to get the extract...it can be done on behalf.
my dad got the extract for me end of last year and posted it to me without me being in JPJ

anyone living near south area? I am living at Telok Blangah and looking for more kaki to hang out with haha...dont mind travelling to other places during weekends too

Ya, that's what i was thinking too! If they punch a hole then you can't drive back.

Actually it depends on the JPJ branch. My hometown branch required me to be there to get the extract. Cannot get on behalf.

Hi all. I've been offered a job in Singapore in semicon industry as RND engineer with the wage of SD4k. I've 4 years experience in this field.
Any one from the same industry currently working there has any opinion? Not sure about the salary range of this semicon field in Singapore....

Got a room just now, at tampines blk 891A..moving in on Sunday

im from same industry but im not working in sg..
i think 4k is good for u..my friend 3 years experience as i am right now get sgd3.3k...
would you mind to tell me which company u get into?
im looking for a job in sg too right now..

I got my extract but no punch hole on my license.

My license also didn't get punched

Guys,
Wanna ask if currently earning 3000myr, and when go to singapore, how much should I ask for my salary? ¹ to 1?

It's a subcon. My concern is they will bond me for few years. Of cause can go anytime just need to paid them back some figure.
Is it normal for foreigner like us who work there in engineering field get bonded?

You are right. I was a bit silly to think that I can't lol!

Thanks for your reply! I didn't get to read this before I went to Singapore. Still, it is good to know.

What is the reason for bond??? Weird unless they send you oversea for training or thing like starting bonus. $4k for 4 years is average for most of the semiconductor engineers but slightly underpaid for designer.

BTW if your company is SSMC then good luck to you...

I suppose every subcon is like shit.
Yeah right...usually here in Malaysia they do bond you 1 or 2 years if they give you sign on bonus 1 or 2 months. But this one...hmm...

Maybe they think they paid for my visa or EP so bond me...not sure how much it cost though.

Anyway still need to negotiate the offer.

hmm..i dont see the reason to be bonded just being hired by them..
my friend is working for subcon too but he is not bonded at all when he joined them..

bonding is a no-no❌ unless it's a very good deal that your are getting or very poor market condition.

depends on your negotiation power.

jasonkwk , can consider parking this discussion on main page, have discuss this countless of time.

Just moved in to new place at tampines..Yesterday I went to east coast park to jog,we can actually organize a BBQ there!!

hi guys, wanna ask some sifu here about how to find job/interview in singapore from malaysia.

1. do u guys applied online jobstreet/jobdb.etc and travel to singapore for interview?? where do u guys stay then? travel by bus or plane?

2. or just go to singapore 1st, then start looking for job on newspaper and online? what if u cant get a job in 30days, u cant stay longer than that right? and again where do u guys stay then?

3. as a IT fresh grad and finishing my last subject very soon, any suggestions whether i should get experience in msia or try my luck to apply junior/'fresh grad'/'no experience needed' job in singapore? i believe i do have some advantages compared to any other IT fresh grad since i've done some projects during my fyp and internship. P/S* my convocation is held in 2 months later, i was thinking to work in msia for at least 2 months, and after my convocation i will start planning again. any thoughts?
