QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Apr 12 2014, 03:49 PM) none. even POSB have a minimum of $1 I guess. $1 Thats great enough. Because I heard most of the bank need $500 to open an account. If POSB, just need passport or any other document to open 1 account?

QUOTE(handsomeguyz @ Apr 12 2014, 08:46 AM) I earn 3550 per month with a company car. So I do not pay for transport. Company pay for evrything. Rent is 1050, I share with my gf. I pay 650. Most of the money I spend on food.. I dont save on food.. eat quite good. No other commitment.. So pro, he can know how much you earn from the amount you saving.

Last I check, Maybank Singapore allow you to open account without EP or work permit provided you have a Malaysian Maybank account (but they will ask you why you want to open account, etc..). Just make a valid excuse

Ladies and gentlemen,
I'm going back to KL next thursday night. My flight is 10pm and I'm boarding the plane at Senai airport.
I'm working until 6pm that day. My friend told me that if I were to leave my company (at woodlands) at around 6pm, I might not be able to catch the flight as the custom queue will be very congested.
Question : Is my friend right? What time do you think I should leave my company in order to be able to catch the flight at senai airport without being too rush.

If I were you, I would leave SG at 4pm, cross the causeway at a leisurely pace, reach Senai at 6pm, have dinner and coffee there and check in at 8pm. After 5pm onwards, it's peak hour everywhere. You should allow a couple of hours in case something unexpectated happens. And if you've never missed a flight before, the inconvenience can be unprecedented and spoil an entire trip.
