Hi, If you still looking for an agents, i got my own agent which help me deal my hdb purchase. PM me if you still need it.

Normally singapore salary is deduct for CPF contribution which eligible for PR and citizen. Other than that, maybe some company got offer charity donation which allow you to make do income tax relief. This donation will be automatic deduct from your salary after you had agree with it during the offer letter signing.

Mid of April is the due date for IRAS filling. You doesn't need to pay at that time. Just wait until the notice of assessment mail it to you. You can opt for full payment or GIRO it monthly.

Anyway, this is what i know from my current and past working company.

What role and industry you are looking for?

PS. Not my industry. Can't really comment or recommend.

Hi,

It's depend the job scope and how many years of experience you have plus your qualification (what professional cert)?

Hi,

With 10 years experience and Microsoft and VMware cert, i think 4k is just below average. Maybe the non degree holder is your drawback.

I'm also holding a network and infrastructure role in a financial firm.

Just my opinion.

Not a good position to advice you on salary range.

Just can tell my my salary is a bit higher than that amount but i only have ITIL and master degree holder with 2 years experience.

Yeah, 4k for first job in sg is consider good pay if you put aside other factor.

Wish you good luck in Singapore.

Hi,

I got a good housing agent to recommend. He doing rental/purchasing. Quite reliable.

PM if you need it.

Good can be many terms. I think convenience is the most important to those need to take public transport. Food court and convenient store also need to take into consideration.

As previous mention, i have a good and reliable housing agent. PM me if you need it when in Singapore.

All is because of the cunning agent. Most of them are in a gang, so who ever you engage, also the same. Maybe this is their survival tactic among hundreds of agent.

Yes, all the 3 main telco, Singtel, Starhub and M1 provide broadband on mobile aka dongle. It's good that you able to rent a room which the owner or housemate got subscribe the home broadband, so you can save the cost to own the broadband on mobile.

If you know the house have broadband, try to negotiate for it. Price range is quite variable.

Cause they scare the tenant use it to download or streaming. Very kiasu and kiasi.

Replied. Hope he can help you.

If they are new to Singapore, for sure the new contract is limited 2/3/4G data plan, so mobile tethering is out if heavy usage user.

As mention mobile broadband is an additional cost for a them who just come over and start work. Since the house is equip with broad, it's still open up to negotiate to share it like other home appliance. All is depend how the negotiation goes.

Anyway, no doubt owning yourself a mobile broadband is convenient as you move around.

Actually they can but the problem as you say, so many people in SG, almost 50% or more are downloading or streaming, it's they will catch all? As long as no people report, they are just close 1 eye.

Singaporean always say, "You can do anything, as long as not get caught!"

My mum holding a long term social visit pass also able to open POSB account.

No matter what 'P', open an account is possible. As long as you deposit the min amount require.

Too bad Citibank raise their limit to maintain normal saving account to $5000, if not, they are a good choice as they provide debit card and cheque book if i not mistaken. Close the account since they change their min amount policy.
