Thanks for your reply alaskanbunny! I share your sentiments and am extremely wary about accommodation search in foreign countries.

What! I some form of identification (apart from our passport of course) is required? This is good news to me!

Any idea on how to apply for the Singapore citizenship as a PR?
I am planning to marry my girl friend and either me or she will convert to be singapore citizen and we will buy a BTO because the current resale flats price are too high.

Ideally we plan to continue to work here for next five years after we own a HDB and will sell it off and migrate to Australia.

Are you holding any work permit/ S pass or EP? Take note that the HDB owners are not allowed to rent out their room for someone who is holding password without valid working visa (EP, S pass etc)
You can stay in hostel for beg packers which normally charge 20sgd-30sgd per night for a person and you can go back to malaysia during weekend while hunting jobs in singapore.
However, you will need to share the room with some real travellers / tourists so you will need to sacrifice privacy during the job hunting period.

Is this translator certified to translate LOCAL U transcript in BM to English?

Can you define what is "Typical Malays" and how could you generalized that Malay working in Singapore are "very good" ?

No I am not holding any WP, S pass or EP. I'm going there to look for a job. "Someone who is holding password..." What do you mean by password?

I've thought of backpackers as well but uh, I stayed before and had some bad experience so I don't think I'll be staying there again. Anywhere else besides backpackers...?

Go back to Malaysia during weekend? I don't think I can since I'm there to look for jobs. I can't afford to go back Msia every weekend. Once I go there I plan to stay for up to 30 days. But I'm not too sure if that's a good idea since officers will be asking why, right? So maybe I'll split to 15days + 15 days...or something like that.

If you could find this reply, I'm amazed by how you could not read the following




I think Mr. Smart is trying to say PASSPORT.....

Anyway, if you want the troublesome but much legal and potentially cheaper method, go rent a room in JB, travel in/out daily. Since you are not really working, you can avoid peak hours and go in after 10am, and exit at night or before 4pm.

By the way, you can stay continuous 30 days, I wrote that in the white card, the custom officer only asked me to put down the address I'm staying at, even if its aunty's place. They just need to know where.

Australia visa accepts his translation. Not sure about certificate.

No worries mate. Good Luck.
