thanks! do you mean the employee will pay more if i get an S pass or work permit, compared to an Epass?

Anyone can explain how COE calculation work? Is it mean i need to pay SGD74k upfront no matter what price of the vehicle i purchase as long as in the same category?

COE will swing up and down. My old car COE 20+ k only  . The recent one 90 k  .You can either bid it yourself or ask agent do for you. I remember its only 50% of the COE will be deducted from your account, the rest lump with your 50% car loan.

Why only johor?

Since my hometown is in malacca, it should be no issue since as you have mentioned that only johor jpj does this.

Why would they want to cancel my driving license if all i request was information on a piece of paper.

hey...sifu and gurus...need some advice

i got a job offer for SGD3000....

there is no CPF offered as I'm foreigner

is this offer ok?..as in isit enough to survive in singapore as the accomodation alone will be SGD1000 dy...

please help to advise me on it...

years of experience: 3yrs plus..
qualification: certified accountant
field & experience: Internal auditor fr Big 4 accounting/auditing firm

is the salary offered ok?..the company does not give CPF...

600 single room
300 for food. Breakfast 2, lunch 4 econ rice with fruit, 4 samethijg for dinner. Hdb area so food is cheap.
40 broadband 40 hp 20 for miscellaneous...

I dont know the exact economics on all of the extra cost that the employer incurs hiring a s pass or wp compared to an EP holder in relation to the amount they gotta pay an EP but it sounds around what u mention.

If your paid the minimum of 3.5K on an EP, there are some people i know on S Pass who easily make more than that. Mainly engineering background as supervisors.

"CCT-THE MCST PLAN NO.129 SGD 50.00 589790200486" Anyone know what this kind of transation is? Got an unrecognized debit to my account. Google seems to say it's some sort of Management Corp Strate Title thing but I don't own any property in SG leh.

Edit nvm, figured it out liao

Or i could tell them i need the extract since i plan to drive in japan, qatar and maybe sydney for work purposes. I am also considering just straight out applying for an international license.

This might be old news but I think there are still some of us that do not know about it. Register your number for DNC to prevent tele-marketing.

On top of that, anyone have contact or know where I can rent car (with driver) to go from Aljunied to Gelang Patah (2 days before CNY)? What is the price range?

Cab in SG will/can go outside SG?

Yup, its called the IDP, international driving permit.

Guys, is a Malaysian working in Singapore subjected to Malaysia tax? (income tax i mean)
             

Riot in Singapore!!!!

Interesting International News

BTW, just asking around. Banking AVPs are equivalent to assistant manager isn't it?

How you become your manager's manager? Your boss's boss? Should be managing a group of managers right?
Titles in banks are meaningless for now. When I joined fresh from school, my title was assistant manager, so much different from the job scope of assistant manager now. Job is to oversee the department for my boss who only come in once or twice a month. 30+ people, some AVPs and some VPs.

Banks in the old days will come out and grab those high performing people and start grooming them in a different way than normal employees. You will notice a different job opportunities. For fresh grads, they look for scholars/medalists, once you are scholars then the corporate ladder become a lift, with lift operator inside asking you which floor. Some titles are created for interim position. I was "parachuted" into the dept, no assistant manager position exist before that. They are preparing for the take over of my boss's position for me, so the temporary title and the position disappear after my promotion. 5 years bond, NCC for 6 months, but hefty sign on bonus .

I wouldn't bet on that if I were you. When I did my pass, I overheard this MOM lady literally scolding this PRC man about his Chinese signature.

She was like "This is SINGAPORE. Everything you write on official paper should be in English. Do you think I can read this (she's not chinese..but it was his signature)?"

  . wait till you see mine. i was never noted for nice handwritting since young 

I believe 60 days is enough for getting a job, I spent 1 month looking for job, and was already renting a room with my friends, so once the contract ends, I will move somewhere nearer to the work place.

My tips, get a SG mobtel, put that into your CV, send it out via jobstreet and you can engage EA (Employment Agency) to assist in your job hunt (don't put too much hope here). When looking for jobs, I would put higher hope to job ads that welcomes Malaysian and request go direct to HR instead of EA.

EA competition in SG is very stiff.

Erm... I have a question do i need to collect my EP only then can i rent a room in SG?? What are the documents i need to give to the house owner? How many months deposit do i need to pay (the norm)?? Ezlink card only PRs and SG citizens can enjoy the benefits? Cant load the page dont know why slow internet connection in Melaka... sigh..

What is an IPA? Also, do you think 3 days is enough to look for a decent accommodation in Sg?

IPA is an In-principal approval letter. 3 days are actually more than enough. Go look at everywhere like advertising boards. There are many rooms for rent as well as houses. Just the matter of what do you want actually.

Can't you search for room to stay online first before going to sg? I don't know if it's feasible or not as I never tried it yet but planning to do so. I don't want to end up stranded there for weeks not being able to find a suitable/decent room and at the same time, I have to fork out SGD to support myself while being jobless and roomless.

I'm finally moving out of audit. *yay*

Anybody knows if it's possible to rent short term in Sg? I've been scouting online and realize that most rooms have contract minimum 6 months. I'm not sure if I' m able to commit 6 months to that room since I can't guarantee if I am able to find myself a job in sg. So, if anybody here have any relatives or friends who have got an extra room or space and willing to rent short term to me in sg, please let me know. I don't have many requirements for the room just that it should be tidy and clean, that's the basics. 

Gonna go into financial reporting/accounting 
But at least it's better life (hopefully)

I got an offer with 3k plus 80 phone allowance in IT field.

2 source of friend's friend. 1 base pay 2.3, the other 2.7 both engineering degree. Both receive bonus of 6-8 months. Everyday work until 10pm

Those pubs that I frequent, I have known many PRC pass holders who have a normal work day time n night time work as public relation officer. Many are students at day time too.

big time sh*t..im starting my job 2nd jan in Singapore but yet to find any accommodation

Moving house sure is a pain. Just moved the past 2 days from Braddell to Tiong Bahru and now I'm like aching all over.

ugh.

Hey, got a quick question here. I have applied for a job through an recruitment agency with an expected salary of X but I didn't know that the job involves a 12 hours working shift until they revert back to me and asked me if I'm okay with this. Do you think if it's okay or possible if I ask for a little more in expected salary? Since I didn't know about this earlier.

There's no shift (not mentioned) so shift allowance is n/a haha. Yes,I'm worried that I may lose it too but I think it's better to ask now rather than later during the interview or after the interview,no?

niceeee....now sgd 1 = rm2.6

extra few hundred to spend for cny...

Is 5% annual increment in Singapore ok? or below average?
