Why not live in Johor and ride bike into SG to work.
Isn't that more economical and common practise?

Been there and try before. On motorbike at 5am on second link highways. Not easy. But I might move back in the future smile.gif

Pioneer common room $650? I though market price there should be $550 to $600 single room. If $650 include wifi and aircon or walking distance to mrt then should be around that price.

650 included wifi and air-con, the house located just beside the Pioneer MRT

hi guys,

I have a few questions.

1. If I apply for PR, can I travel overseas outside of Singapore?

During application and after approval of PR?

2. CPF contributions can withdraw fully assuming if I were to return back to KL, Malaysia permanenty?

thanks.

1) Yes you can..because you will be still holding on to both your EP/S-Pass and PASSPORT

2) Google my friend.

It is the convenience, you pay for it and comfort.

It is like asking why take the bus instead of buying a car.

Hi,

As long as we obtained the re-entry permit, then we can in/out of SG. SPR without a valid rep will lose the pr if remain outside SG.
