Checking in!

a. Tax wise, better of in SG as the tax rates are much lower (almost a good 6-7% less of ur annual salary.. ie RM60k taxed at 10% vs S$60k taxed at 4% effective)
b. Quality of life - really depends on how you define it. if you want big house and your own car and have your extended family nearby (assuming ur from KL), msia wins. if you want convenience and relatively good public transport, singapore wins. (and I believe this changes as you age, and as you have kids)

A few things to think about is in terms of stress levels. Stress levels of a RM5k job and a S$5k is different. (i dunno how others feel, but I feel that it's bloody competitive here and that drains me on a day to day basis. Some are invigorated by the challenge, so yea.. depends on what kind of person you are)

Oh thanks for sharing.
I've been here for like.. 10 months and I've yet to get a single credit card. (granted I only applied for 2 and got rejected for both).

Haha.

$32 for a chicken rice? -____- And I thought chicken rice shop was overpriced...

eh, asking questions for a friend with family thinking to relocate to SG.

a. how much are childcare/nursery costs here. assuming kid 1 - 4 years old.

Hey thanks guys. From the sounds of it, seems really quite tough innit.
And he doesn't have a car..

hmmm.. till he converts to Singaporean it seems like quite expensive for him to maintain his family here.

Wah high income!

Anyway I think see luck one! I think it's the 2nd highest one lor, cos the highest one need 8k I think...

Hi guys, anyone has any experience arranging for a large outing (ie 50-100 people) in Singapore?

Any suggested activities?

I'm probably going to organise a department outing, so I'm wondering what do corporations in Singapore do for their teambuilding etc.

Hahah talk about taxi everyone come out and curse liao XD

My gf has a terrible taxi driver that picked her up, halfway decided not to send her home, and decided to drop her at geylang.
Swear to god if I see that guy I'm going to take his picture and report him.

a&b. Whole unit, budget about 2.2k. Consider geylang. There's alot of new condos, and it's not as dodgy as it sounds
c. transport - MRT
d. don;t understand
e. Tax at about 5-7%, paid in arrears.
(aka u pay ur 2012 income tax in 2013).

same same la. come here better. more singapore chiobus

singaporeans discriminate against everyone, so don't worry, you don't lose out de.

Discrimination in KL is reverse discrimination. Private sector in KL favors the non-bumis.
In singapore, you're just discriminated. BUt then, so is everyone else, so actually no one is discriminated. lol.

8k can la. LOL
Some families here dun even make 8k income!

Did you just use google translate?

Fastreader why u spoil market. Internal auditors get paid at least 4k here. Especiallu with experience

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

Funds back office side. From what I gather it doesn't seem so high up, but I'm still trying to gather where that rank is in the pecking order.. (title inflation lol)
