Not much jobs for malaysian in the advertisement

Those never state only Singaporean/SPR, can I apply those?? or if stated malaysian then only can apply..dunno which company hires malaysian for fresh graduate..

no harm apply all. Singaporean, PR or whatever.

Malaysian fresh grad? Harder than to find a needle in a haystack.
Currently what the news was (if i read it correctly) is that companies will have to advertise in a job bank meant for Singaporeans for at least 3 months(?). Only if they fail to find a suitable candidate are they allowed to open the application to the foreigners. This applies to job <SGD12k so as a fresh grad its highly unlikely they will have difficulties finding local grad to fill the vacancy.

What would be a comfortable or at least bearable salary range if we go to Singapore? Assuming have to pay for rental, transportation, misc. expenses, the usual drills. I actually don't know how much is the income tax, come to think about it.

1st post already got sort of minimum expenses range. income tax go google, the tax rates are lower than Malaysia.

very very subjective..

Hi All! I am new here! just got myself here in SG 3 months ago.

Thanks, I just checked it.
Wow, Malaysians working under employment/work passes are exempted from paying CPF. Meaning the salary you get is what you get at the end of the month, that's good

Reason of asking is I'm not too sure what is a reasonable salary range in S'pore. Like, is few thousands considered low or 5k considered standard...or 7k is very high, etc. Just need a picture so that I know if one is under or overpaid.

You should at least say what job you are applying and how many years of experience.

Good if you need the money now.

Some people would prefer to have CPF deductions so that they can get the Employer’s share of CPF contribution which is 16%, that they can withdraw when they reach the retirement age.

Sorry, I was thinking about the general masses when I typed that. I'm not applying for any jobs there now as there are none suitable available yet and I'm not sure how much I should expect myself to get.

But if I were to try, it would be for a senior role with about 8 years of working experience in IT/manufacturing industry in shared services function.

Oh, right...didn't think about that...but I guess since we're not a citizen of Singapore, that wouldn't matter to us.

comfortable ? S$5k maybe, if you are still single and no other commitment.

Some companies will pay you back the supposed CPF portion (my company did) and you will have a win win situation. But to get such employer is not easy...I was in luck when I got the job.

I don't have that much commitment. Thanks for your insight in this.

Thanks for this info!

Why the world's ultra rich are flocking into Singapore right now

Singapore’s average wealth per adult is currently US$282,000 (5th in the world)

The number of High-Net-Worth (HNW) individuals rose 21.5% in 2012

HNW Individuals hold USD 857 billion in wealth

The number of HNW individuals in Singapore expected to rise 58% by 2017

HNW Individual wealth expected to surpass USD 1.38 trillion by 2017

Assets under management across Singapore hit a record high of USD 1.29 trillion

The degree of wealth shifting to Singapore is truly staggering so it is important to look at why wealthy individuals from across the globe are seeking to make Singapore their new home. Highlighted below are some of the key reasons we are seeking such rapid growth in the number of HNW individuals shifting to Singapore.

A shift from Switzerland to Singapore

There is great talk about Singapore becoming the new Switzerland and taking the title of being the global financial hub for the world’s wealthy. Switzerland’s main attraction has always been the secrecy offering by the banking sector which has become much less applicable over recent years and without this benefit, there is little keeping the funds in Switzerland.

The Singaporean Dollar

Monetary Policy in Singapore is expected to remain on track and the Singaporean Dollar is expected to continue to gradually appreciate against other major currencies. This provides a degree of currency stability for global investors looking for a ‘safe haven’ for their investments, particularly during these times of economic volatility.

Economic Growth

Merrill Lynch is forecasting economic growth for 2013 of 3.5% and 2.8% for 2014. The Central Bank here in Singapore has also highlighted that they do not expect any material difference in the economic growth rates between this year and next. This positive growth outlook also provides for a compelling investment case for global investors.

Tax Rates

The maximum personal income tax rate in Singapore is 20% which applies to income over S$320,000. To give you some reference, here are the top income tax rates in the home countries of many expats here:

Australia – 45%
UK – 50%
France – 45%
New Zealand – 45%
There is also no tax payable on capital gains made from buying and selling financial instruments such as shares.

Where else?

China: Chinese economic data continues to show a slow-down in the economy, despite growth rates still remaining high relative to other countries.

UK: The latest IMF report, whilst reporting an upgrade in their economic outlook expects output to remain well below potential output for “many years”.

Europe: European economic concerns continue globally. BNY Mellon chief economic is quite pessimistic about whether the recent economic growth that brought them out of recession is sustainable in future years. Debt levels remain a concern and we are yet to see a great deal of structural reform.

US: The US economy has performed relatively well and is showing signs of early economic growth, however the recent debacle regarding raising the US debt ceiling and resulting government shut-down highlights an instability HNW individuals do not want to be exposed to.

There is little doubt that the wealth will continue to pour into Singapore as the benefits of being based here continue to provide for a compelling case. As a result, the Singaporean economy will continue to prosper with new jobs being created, further infrastructure developments and a strengthening financial sector.
