I'm planning to immigrate to the Singapore in the future. But my first question is, how are Malaysia's Degree view in Singapore? Be it a private or a government sector, do they recognize it? And also, will there be any differences between ipts and ipta in the Singapore?
*
Generally no difference after some years of working experience, but some jobs that are regulated need your degree to be recognized by those professional bodies. Check with them for your case.

Yeah. Company promised to help me get the PR.

But i am still waiting for the right time. as I am just here for like 7 months+ with a S pass.

I don't think my chances will be high. wondering when is the right time..

They can only help you to fill the Annex A. Nothing else. All the PR criteria is based on you and your competency. Nothing to do with your company.

Do they still send you PR invitation letter before graduation? I heard no more PR guarantee for local grads now.

Have you ever stayed with someone that stinks so badly that people can recognise you from smell alone ?
How about someone with a few kg of leftovers under their bed ?
Shoes/slippers are good for public toilets, streets and room too. The same pair BTW.
Or clothing cupboard that smells of piss, heck the entire place smells of piss.

Dirty usually means a whole different level when it comes to a certain group of people.
As dirty as some Malaysian and Singaporean may be, I've not met anyone who qualify in the above 4 criteria.

Sounds like things you encounter sharing room in uni.

Fish smell is still acceptable.
Faeces smell however...
What I meant is that person stinks like shit so much that my friend who's staying in the same unit starting smelling like shit too.

I'm a realist, but most importantly, I'm not a hypocrite.
I would rather stay with an educated Malaysian regardless of race than a construction worker fresh from a village in Bangladesh.
My personal experience tell me there would be a lesser chance of hygiene problems if I stayed with the former.
*
How about a less educated Malaysian construction worker with mud patches on the boots, dust all over the shirt and smell of sweat at the end of the of day, will I be discriminated against by fellow highly educated countrymen?

So regret never study good good in when in school. Now people look at me down always say from kampung. cry.gif

Coming back dirty, muddy, sweaty and so on is normal.
It's what you do that matters. Eg: If they bath once a week vs they bath after coming back from work.

Would you mind staying with a construction worker like that ?
My tolerance level is about the same as yours too.
*
I worked with them closely so I guess I don't mind. Btw, most construction workers stay in dormitory provided their company. They don't and can't rent room because they don't have work pass. So, I don't know where to find a construction worker to be room mate or house mate.

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 nod.gif

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.

one question, remember i have to move out of the place i staying after 1 month, the time is next week. landlady claimed i brought ants, which she never see in her unit before -.- so let say if she refuse to give back my deposit next week, what should i do?
*
Call police, create a scene, refuse to leave. If you don't have any proof that you paid her any deposit, then suck thumb and hope for the best.

If I remember correctly (it's been a while), the company doesn't need your signature or even your consent to apply for the pass. You only come into the picture when bringing your IPA to complete the formalities at WPSC, EPSC, etc.

Wah so no system one meh.

Visit pass cannot work. Company letter signed by BOD CEO CFO COO also no use. Only letter from Commissioner of ICA/MOM is ok. SVP max 90 days. Probation 3 months?

Hence, what I can brain is, I should include accomodation + living expenses into the salary that could be 5k~ SGD? And with the job being a contract position, I should increase it even further?
*
If you want to earn more then ask for more. If your employer think your job only worth 4k plus then they will find another 4k plus candidate to fill it. If they already underpaid you and you are worth more, they will increase it if you are good.

Just a question to all,
How does Johor weekend moving from Sat-Sun to Fri-Sat affect us who are working in Singapore?
In terms of traffic, lifestyle etc.?
Do you like it?

Hopefully the Sunday rush back to SG will be less crowded. rclxm9.gif
