Hi guys, just a quick question:

What pass should I get if I'm a Malaysian working as an audit associate with a pay of <3k?

I believe auditors fall under "specialised jobs" but the Employment Pass requires a pay of >3.3k.

You answered your question. S Pass it is.

Thanks for your reply.

I'm assuming since there is no definitive list of occupations for each pass, we use the wage as a guide?

Congratulation to those Malaysian who wisely plan to work at Singapore rather to work at weak RM currency and deep shit corruption country and can't even see the bright side for future !!!!! You all just make a wisely decision !!!!!!

actually who is providing the internet... owner already has Wifi?

Should be tie to wage only. I only know your job title will affect what pass you get even you pass the EP salary, not the other way round. Some people here said they got EP when they are below the wage requirement. Don't know how true. Maybe you can try apply EP first if you want. Ask your HR.

I think there's a few category for EP. Some are meant for fresh graduate, whereby the minimum salary serves more as a guideline rather than a mandatory requirement. Perhaps someone here can clarify.

I thought I could live with an air cooler or tower fan instead but now I don't think that is possible.

Yep! My bills are inclusive of wifi too!

Yes back then owner already has Wifi...normally service providers here will provide a Wireless router for subscribers..so just get the wifi password from owner...thats it

I live in PJ and I use air cond only at night when I'm awake - cos we have ceiling fans

But then I went to SG for a couple days, felt so much hotter. Or maybe it's around the same and in SG ppl walk more.

I only use it at night too. SG is not that hot actually. At times, it can be extremely breezy.

around early Feb in Malaysia a lot of places were actually breezy at night

daytime was hot as shit but at night it got better - quite rare

i was told SG was like that too until mid Fed which was when i went

Any one applied dependent PR for their spouse before? Thanks.

wise or not, just a choice...i dont know about others, but i do see the bright side for retirement in bolehland.

apply together, yes....separately for spouse no, kid got.

Criteria of dependant PR application all depend on the sponsor? Hard to get or not for spouse? Kids one can wait, making kids now to make up for my NS.

Im a fresh grad from IT looking desperately for jobs related to Database, any recommendations?

main will still be the "sponsor"
spouse detail may affect i suppose
reentry permit expiry date will follow the sponsor
sponsor PR revoke...everyone follow suits.

PS: if husband is spouse...husband is liable for NS

there are people (degree holders) who can get EP on pay <3k as well. in any case your company normally decides what type of pass it will try to apply for you.
