yea i hope so.. XD... thx..

Leaving Malaysia to work in Singapore is just like working in an A company to a B company.

Due to career prospect and also better salary. I believe this is the two things that come into every Malaysian mind when they start working in Singapore.

We do not really felt we are foreigners here, because we are just working, and the citizens are very much alike with our homeland. The food, the culture and the buildings are kinda similar.

You really felt that your are a foreigners here, when you have kids, and start to have a family here. For instance, you can't buy those govt house and also enjoy their privileges here. Other than that, if you are just working here, you can make a decent career progress here.

To answer your questions, I get offered the same salary as I did at Malaysia. Dollar to dollar. Most companies here do not care what nationality you are, as long as you can work and have good attitude here, they will promote you and give you many opportunities.

It's just like a Penang guy coming to KL to work. We can always travel back to our homeland once a while.

all the best!

Congrats to you. I got a job too jz came back from signing the offer.

I wonder what is the next step I have to do in order to apply the S Pass.

My manager told me they will help to submit but once ok I need to collect letter from company then medical check up then take the report to company again then collect the S Pass. I am abit confuse

Anyone any ideas? I wonder why I need to travel so much to my company...

After your S Pass is approved , you need submit some document ( Application doc + others ) + medical checkup report , and then go Collect the S Pass

Its actually quite simple.

So when your S Pass approved, get the document from your company and go to the panel clinic for medical check up. Get the medical check up report, make an appointment with MOM to submit your documents. Then wait to collect your S Pass work permit.

I believe it is the same for everyone mate for that process. Unless you get the company to courier the paperwork to you perhaps?

You will need to bring the letter to the hospital to go through the blood test, urine test, x - ray. Remember to set appointment and not just walk in. else you have to join the standard queue for registration which may waste more time (note i did medical check in Raffles hospital, Bugis)

After that have to bring another letter to the Ministry of Manpower, with passport size photos to apply for the SP. Do not be afraid if you dont have the photos handy as there is a Photo shop right next door. They will need your finger prints and what not hence why you have to be there. However for the pass collection i did not have to do it as the company sends someone to collect it on my behalf.

It may differ as i applied under EP.

Thanks alot for the info.


My workplace is at Aljunied. Izzit possible for me to take my letter and straight go to do the medical check up? I don't want to travel up and down.

Which mean I have to make an appointment for my medical check up and MOM to submit?

Thanks alot !

You can go to any clinic that provide medical checkup for work permit.
And also clinic to do x-ray.

In my case, i just walk in to a clinic that belong to my boss's friends to do medical checkup.
Then I have to go to another clinic to do x-ray since the first clinic no xray service.

After that you have to wait a few days to get result.
You can either go collect the result from clinic or they send it to MOM for you.
Then u make appt with MOM after they receive your medical report.

Better go to less popular ones, so shorter queue, but make sure they have x-ray service as well , so no need to run a few places.

okok... but do my company need the medical report result also?
Or I just send to MOM?

Pass your medical report to your company. They will do the rest.
