I see MOM first year I f service entitle 7 days right? My first three month should be 3/12 X 7 days correct? Should be 1.75 days after my 3 months of work.

But why my boss said I am only entitle leave after ONE year of service? Meaning my first year of service i HAVE NO annual leave.. Wow..

but if i settle the tax now, then i will miss a lot of tax relief right? cause i still have insurance to pay every month until end of the year. Since that the tax for this year usually only need to be cleared next year, then they will only come after the employer if i don't settle it next year right? in that case, if i settle it next year, should not be a problem right? i just don't let me current employer know that i'm going where to work next.

Cause I just don't want the company to hold my pay like that. Since that I'm leaving the country and have PCB every month, I'm quite sure is that the government will owe me money. But if I settle the tax now, I will miss quite a lot of tax relief. I'm planning to just tell my current employer that I haven't found any job yet and still finding locally so that they won't hold my last pay. Then next year only I settle the tax with them actually.

Just don't like the idea of my last pay being hold like that.

Fyi... the same shit happens in singapore if u leave ur job in sg on an ep.. the co here will do the same thing. Deal with it.

Thanks. Actually I wanna ask..if I landed myself on SME, will that be tough to hit back MNC again?
Or it will be better when I join MNC in Msia and change to S'pore MNC somedays later?

Haha. Me and my wife are working in KL. I have been offered by Singapore Big 4. Of course I want my wife to stay with me, and she can transfer to another hospital in JB.

Money wise, yes, we might need to spend little bit more money for such arrangement, but I think it is worthy to stay together.

Why wouldn't she find work in SG instead?

Thanks a lot. Can anyone share with me the charges involve from getting extract, take BTT and also convert to Singapore license? I need to do it ASAP already as I need to drive soon...

I bet you're feeling lost at finding a room now

I was in that situation like... 2 months back. Luckily now all alright.
Anyway... The best is that you can personally come down here to find one. Else it's quite hard as most owner here want to see the tenant him/herself before agreeing to let you move in. And the worst part is... They engaged the agent yet agent fee is paid by tenant and even though agent fee is paid by tenant, owner still can be picky about their tenant.

Get what I mean?
Not familiar no prob one. It's really convenient here. Basically if you know your workplace is near Yio Chu Kang MRT, you can just find anywhere near any of the NS line MRT station, find somewhere more towards residential area instead of commercial to get some cheap food court and groceries. I'm now staying near green line, more towards the east coast and I find it really convenient to go around. I have access to the green line, take MRT then can transit to yellow line in just next few stop, transit to downtown line at bugis, transit to NS line at City Hall or even transit another time to get to NE line at dhoby ghaut. Then... Certain places like those along NE line, since need to transit twice, taking bus may be even faster. Just have to look for the right bus. From my area, I have access to most places through bus except those places towards the north so I find it quite convenient.

Just check with gothere.sg or google map, both provide almost 100% accurate transit info *save for the bus arrival time in google map, never accurate *

Basically, if you stayed before in Klang Valley area without driving a car, just getting around on public transit, it will be an easy task, probably easier task. Just get a data plan asap so you can use google maps/gothere and other SBSTransit/SMRT apps on the go.

Eh really?

Then when I engage those agents advertising their rooms, aren't those agents engaged by the owner?

Sometimes it's overly picky. Mindset problem?

In Malaysia, it's a little more money oriented. As long as the houseowner see you are ok, can pay rent on time, not trouble maker type then easily rent to you d. But in SG, of course not to say to show really bad image, doing really bad thing. Just very normal ones like they maybe just see you beh song then don't want rent to you. Like need to check your criminal record, check your health status check everything only can consider to let you move in. That's my impression towards, I won't say all but some of the Singaporean house owners. They're like caring more about these details instead of worrying whether I have rent to pay them on time.

If you get what I meant.

I don't know la... Just like will question more than M'sia one la based on my expression. M'sia one is like if you can pay the rent monthly on time then ok d. The main factor is rental payment.

actually I don't like to work in Singapore, traffic jam, kiasu people, expensive rental, walk walk now here to sit, high work performance and hot weather. Many people complain Malaysia here inefficient and lazy but got benefit also I don't have to work so hard.

Reason why i am considering Singapore is because my very close friend, got promotion to SG. I don't like long distance relationship. I was thinking if can work singapore this few years, godwillingly, at least I can plan overseas trips with my partner because of 2.5.

Ok set, earn $10k can lengang. Good. 

hah, of course i handled stress la, and pass singaporean grueling deadline test even though got 1 hour late before. Or else I kena sack long time ago, bro.

I work under singaporean boss before. Not really like him, because he always push me hard. I pass but he failed because he kena sack, yahoo.

I also like you, i don't like both sun and rain. But one saving grace is humid weather, so no need to apply mostuiriser like in London, my skin dry until it break and blood come out.

not only the shoes...but the SOCKS!!! DRIPPING n with AIRCON...gets very cold the feet

Oh Man Power ministry do reject after all.

ask only ma, whether spore authorities lax or strict in approving ma.

no need to panas baran la.

Ok I think a studio unit with one room is enough for us now. Looks like price from $1500-2500.

Rent is 1/2 month agent fee + 1 month deposit per year of contract (i.e. if u sign 2 years contract u need to prepare 1 month agent fee + 2 months deposit). Plus first month rental.
