None of the documents I submitted need translation...chinese lady who processed my application few years back...

This looks interesting,

Anyone up for it here ? Kena ambil permit dulu right ?

I've posted in Let's talk about salary thread but no answer perhaps it's more appropriate to post it here:

This is for a post with few years experience.
Hope someone can enlighten this.

Thanks

Hi all, I m not posting my experience to make anyone angry. I just want to share my experience. I did told the malay officer that I thought msian birth certificate does not need to be translated and immediately she got upset and said that she will put my application on hold and will wait for my translated birth certificate, I dare not annoyed her further.

different industries different payscales
"few years experience" is vague. 2? 5? 8?

I have a enquiry about working night shift. How they return to their home after 12am? Since there do not have bus and lrt during weekdays after 12am

Night rider, taxi, cycle, company car, walk, etc

Dont the food get spoiled from all those throwing at the customs?

Very simple, just call the immigration department and ask. There is a good reason why telephone line was created.

No point fighting over the internet when the butt that is on the fire is yours.

Different people act differently. Sometimes when the officer got a bad day also can cause problems in the application. In the end of the day is your luck and ability to talk to people. If immigration is hard to handle, try shipyard. They are 10 times harder. But sometimes it is good to approach people in a warm manner, make some jokes to brighten up their day.

Hand carry.

Private no people care you. Government they need to follow the book, no accept if good mood reject if don't like your face. Don't follow the procedure then we do our NS by complaining.

Salary for Singaporeans and Malaysians is different depending on the company. Fresh grads from Malaysia tends to earn lower than fresh grads from Singapore.

few years experience, from what I know if you are earning let's say 5k in malaysia, in singapore you might get around 3.5k-4k. Again, this depends on your negotiation skill in the interview and how much you are qualified for the job.

This is what I did last time, I asked for a one to one dollar salary. Somehow they accepted it. lucky me. but if they can't offer one to one dollar, then you might need to lower down your expectation.

quite high for stpm/dilploma holder

in the end, the officer is still human.
like it or not, human will definitely be influenced by their emotion consciously or unconsciously.
cases of whether they accept during good mood and reject when they do not like you...this may and will happen.
u may argue with whatever procedure that should have been followed and the person can argue with you using another point.
how do you know that there aren't cases where applications were accepted because the officer was in a good mood?
no1 will be complaining for that case so how can you be so sure

take a police officer for example...when you drive over the speed limit, why do they sometimes let you off with a warning instead of a summon? by procedure, you should have been summoned (we are not talking about bribing the police)
everything going by the book will only work in theory or with robots
