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?

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

Yeah, I had a dilemma recently similar as your's. Difference is I've only got a Diploma in Business Studies (Accounting) but not a degree in M'sia. Any chances that I can secure a sales job with this qualification perhaps? I'm going SG mainly for the money actually. But heard accommodation expenses cost a bomb . Just want to know if there is any decent paying job for a freshie like me? I mean do companies even accept freshies from M'sia? Thinking to either go for a sales job or maybe casino will do, for a start .

Really hope the sifus here can enlighten us.
Many thanks!

Guys, what's best FD/etc for rainy day funds? From what I can see, seems like boils down to SCB bonu$aver vs CIMB regular FD

SCB https://www.sc.com/sg/save/current-bonussaver.html
1.88% on $25k
- need to spend $500 per month on credit card (easy enough)

CIMB http://www.cimbbank.com.sg/index.php?tpt=cimb_sg&tpl=sgdfd
1.1% on 1 year FD

1. apply thru job portals or direct thru company. try to request for a telephone interview or probably skype, but most will require u to travel down once for a face to face. you can either go bunking wif friends or hostel or at relative's place. mode of transportation is up to you and where u are. impossible those from east m'sia can travel by bus.   

2. if u have the bling to survive here with no income, no harm. u can stay for 60 days then barred from entering for 30 days.

3. no harm trying right? just set a "deadline" for when ur trying will have to end.

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

Maybank used to be the best and I still using Maybank now for our emergency fund. The 500 spending per month like forcing you to spend. Can get better cash rebate eh from other credit cards.
Since you saving it for your rainy day, suggest you save it else where. Singapore interest rate just can't make it...

CIMB Starsaver. 0.8% if you deposit $100 or more every month. Simple, no time limits, promo periods, complex conditions/jumping through hoops AND you can go up to $750,000 before a lower rate of 0.5% applies to the excess above 750K. And you get free cheque books/current account as well. And I luv CIMB's preferred customer service... my r/ship manager actually remembers my name and fetches me a drink as he runs behind the counter to kowtim my transactions instead of me queuing.

2. How can I apply for CIMB Preferred?
To enjoy the privileges of CIMB Preferred, you have to establish a banking relationship with us, worth a minimum of S$250,000 in deposits, investment and/or insurance.
We may also extend invitation, at our discretion, to selected customers based on other qualifying criteria.

http://www.cimbbank.com.sg/index.php?ch=sg...er_st_cur&ac=12 ... seems to have changed to $500/month now. Which anyway isn't a problem. Slight concern on branch location since I work east stay east. Lemme think about it, thanks!

Guess I need to queue with the cattle

60 days at one go or 60 days broken up (each trip less than 30 days)?

Well not really 'rainy day' but more like 'emergency i need money now' pool.

$100 for savings account. No cheque book, I guess.

Use credit cards lo. No opportunity cost. Need money just swipe. Apply all the banks if you need few hundred Ks.
