can check the banks' websites for details, but I think mostly just one month payslip can liao. If memory serves me right.

WP also can apply, nothing stopping you.


If you are the elite category who can afford multi room condo and send your kids to International School then PR is pretty worthless. If you like the other 85% of non elites then it's good to apply just to get the 3 year HDB waiting period clock ticking down ASAP.

No, CPF only for SC and SPR

No I didn't ... not yet, anyway. New blog post come then only I'll change, for now is still chicken rice lol.

To me it's worth it to go once (only) just for the sake of saying 'yes I've eaten at that chicken rice place.' But for a return visit no way

What advice are you expecting? we're not exactly a collection of headhunters / job agents. Yes, it is getting harder, but none of us will know whether it will be 'just slightly harder' or 'damn near impossible.' you want to come then throw CV's around and hope for the best lor.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh mang how can you convert FX and then declare that it's not a downgrade?

If I'm earning rm10k in Malaysia and I come over on sgd5k (27% increase after FX conversion), does that mean I got a good deal?

uhhhhhhh since you are in ecp for castles ... if it rains go big splash (also at ecp) rent the minigolf place there for your entire group for like 3 hours.

That's why I use http://www.carclub.com.sg/. Roughly $10 per hour and $0.30 per km, convenience of owning a car and driving yourself anywhere at prices just slightly more expensive than taking a taxi.

Yeah still got membership fee, $10+gst per month

registration fee is $100 but every other month they have waive registration fee promo

So you took fake MC to do something else rather than apply for leave, and now want us to teach you how to tipu the doctor? Just say migraine and diaorrhea lor.


SG is not a particularly happy place for freshies or (relatively) inexperienced hires now thanks to high rental, housing and car prices and almost-at-capacity public transport.

Wonder of that 2,600, how many stayed on in SG with S-Pass and how many went home

1st post already got sort of minimum expenses range. income tax go google, the tax rates are lower than Malaysia.

- needs work experience
- asks fresh grads to apply

WUT

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.

There's plenty of bus drivers, cleaners, etc on way lower than $2500 and they aren't dying in the streets, so you could definitely survive on that.

Cannot, this one working illegally liao. The company must apply for a work pass or training pass and get the IPA (in principle approval) before you can start work legally.

Anyone in SG wanna play badminton this Sat 4-6pm? We got 3 guys short of 1 kaki. PM me or MacKiddo thanks.

Officially, when you get the letter of driving license thing from JPJ they will cancel your malaysia license. So the SG side won't ask for it since the assumption is that it's already cancelled at the MY side.

Yes. Note that by mutual law in both countries, you are only allowed to hold either MY or SG license at a time, but not both together. So when you go JPJ and get the extract, by law JPJ will cancel your Malaysia license since you are going to apply for SG license. You are allowed to drive in Malaysia using SG license.

Some people (myself included) get around this by requesting the JPJ extract in any state other than Johor and giving some bullsh*t reason like I wanna go drive overseas so that JPJ doesn't cancel the license. Or they go hire runners in JPJ Johor to bribe the officers. If you go yourself to JPJ Johor, confirm they will not listen to anything you say and will cancel your license.

like i said, by law you are not allowed to hold MY and SG licenses together. In Johor JPJ they will assume the moment you request for the extract, that you are converting to SG license (cos of the hundreds of thousands of Malaysians living in Johor working in SG). In other states they give you the benefit of the doubt.
