Plus I can repay the loan using my CPF for my HDB. Dont even need to come out a single cent from my pocket for the monthly repayment

Did you check with them if your company gets any discount? Some can get 10% - 30% off monthly bills each month.
Can just ask the customer service to check for you.

Not possible any more unless you got 5 wifes contributing theirs to the same house. One month from CPF only 1k+ leh unless you volunteer to contribute more.

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.

I actually have a colleague who never apply for the REP after getting pr many years back. Only realized the whole thing when about to leave for batam at WTC. I think now they automatically ask you do the REP together with pr.

Not possible because singapore only allows one wife, even if I got 4 more concubines, there are not allowed to deduct their cpf unless paying installment by cash.

Don't expect those with a combine monthly income of <7k to get a resale 4 or 5 room HDB and not to mention PRIVATE housing.

Unless you have lotsa amount in your CPF that you can deduct fully the 15% and the balance 5% in cold hard cash

Yeah, now it's part of the formalities, get issued PR, Entry Permit and REP all at one shot.
