hello..i received a job offer in SG after my interview. Would like to ask, how does the process goes? Cuz HR didn't send me any pdf file or offer letter. I received only an email on the offer. Am i supposed to receive an official offer letter (pdf file)? I can still bargain on the salary right?
*

so exactly how did u "receive" the offer? u should be bargaining at that time.
some company will not give u a soft copy of their offer letter.
u will have to go there and sign personally...by that time, the offer letter is already printed out with the amt they will be paying u

If you didnt enroll their full course, they give the same bloody 50 questions no matter what session you enroll. Their staff didnt mention about this when I enroll 2 times. I was expecting 2 sets of different questions. It cost SG 5-6 bucks each time you enroll.

I only needed the BTT to transfer my licence. So I didnt need the full course.

My colleague told me they used to have different sets last time for each session you enroll. Now they want more money and only give you the same 50 questions regardless how many times you enroll. Hence, forcing you to take their full course.

They never said anything on their website too. Bloody rip off.
*

i do not understand what u are saying
u went for BTT...failed, then went 2nd time and the questions were the same?
they did not inform u so it is a rip off???

I didnt fail. I was expecting the pre question to be random. But they didnt notify us that is the same set regardless how many sessions we take.

there is a pre-test?
why would someone want to take a pre-test for multiple times?
i mean once would be more than enough to know how it works right?

Nope, im paying rental, food all by myself in KL, and giving some allowance to parents. Dont have car at the moment as not really need it here.

Considering the currency exchange rate, hopefully im able to save much better compare to Msia so I can afford for my first house..

If I dabao daily in SG, lets say 3 meals per day, can it goes below S$400? And how bout the monthly MRT pass?

If you are already living alone now, you should be fine.
I find food relatively cheaper in general (economy rice and noodles)...if you prefer higher class food, that depends.
Transport, if you stay closer to your office, you may save on transport too.

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. laugh.gif  laugh.gif
*

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

i did SAY ' AVERAGE'. not ASKING other BONUS MARKS

i ONLY need NUMBER, you are not reply MY QUESTION yet >

you sure suck in courtesy especially when u are trying to ask for help
what kind of average are u expecting?
everyone lives a different lifestyle and their means are diff
there is a rough calculation on the first post anyway on expenditures...so do your own calculations base on your own lifestyle or did you fail maths too on top of moral.

not REALLY. im NOT ASKING for help, I SAY question.

that WHY i say GENERAL, KID with AVERAGE>

YES...REALLY
for a QUESTION to be directed to someone, you ASK
to expect an answer, someone will have to HELP to reply
so, you ARE asking for help.

and as some people has mentioned, the question is vague and open ended (look up the dictionary for the meaning if you do not understand)
so you want an average?
ok, this is for my friends.
A: -SGD500
B: +SGD10k
C: + SGD100
D: +SGD5k

Enjoy the inputs

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.
*

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
