I also have a friend who lost his Sg blue NRIC for the 3rd time. Totally disbelief that ppl can be so careless with such an important piece document. If it takes a whipping to wake him up, I'll say go for it.

Just a quick question regarding obtaining an E Pass:

I am Malaysian, recently graduated from a private university (accounting). If I have an offer for SGD3,200, will I be able to qualify for an E Pass?

I understand that the salary requirement for an E Pass has been raised to SGD3,300. Is this strictly enforced? I took a self assessment on Singapore's MoM website and it says I am likely to qualify for both an E Pass and an S Pass. Not sure why this appears to contradict its policies...

In any case, either pass will be sufficient right?
*
even if you're earning less than SGD3.3k, if MOM sees you as a potential talent that they want to retain in Singapore (good degree, useful skill sets etc) you'll still be granted EP.

Talk to your new employer. Better to have an EP smile.gif

Nope. How is the CPF allowance given usually? Is there a standard percentage for non-PRs/citizens?

True. Didn't know there were so many though, obviously only a small group eventually become senior managers/ directors which can command such a salary.

And yes, appears that AVPs in several banks can hit 100k after bonuses. Thats with only ~5+ years of experience... gosh

Thanks! Yes, definitely aiming to get an EP if I were to accept the offer.

Common range. SG is an expensive country. Aim to get that range around 30-40 if not you will have a hard time staying here.

Banking, finance, doctor, lawyer, dentist, engineers and accountants are in that range so far I gotten from family members and close friends. Those in finance, banking can achieve this earlier. Engineering and accounting around early 30s.

Finally, an alternative to go Ipoh. Four times weekly services to be launched between JB-Ipoh. Timing is not perfect, but should put downward pressure on SG-Ipoh ticket price.

Commencing 15 Sep 2014 - 25 Oct 2014
Johor Bahru - Ipoh Route  Day  Flight No  Departure  Arrival  Fly Time
Johor Bahru - Ipoh  Mon, Wed, Fri & Sun  FY2252  10:20  11:45  1:25
Ipoh - Johor Bahru  Mon, Wed, Fri & Sun  FY2253  12:05  13:30  1:25

Good news!!! Although there's no convenient way to get from Senai to Singapore. And definitely no reliable way (timing-wise) to get from Singapore to Senai.

I hope Firefly organises a shuttle bus for each flight timing.

$100K annual packages are quite common. I'd say 50% of the investment, financial services, MNC, Big4 at there or more.

$200K and above is where things start to narrow down.

And it narrows down very, very rapidly once you pass $250-300K.

I already open with POSB. Queue is not a problem for me since i do most things online. Withdraw money is pretty easy since the queue near my house is next to nothing.

So true that OCBC has shorter queue.

I am not sure if you understood my comment for that. it was for her statement about the work life balance culture here.

I saw alot of OCBC banks with very few people queuing. not sure if that is a good thing or not.

AA took years to post an official statement of AA shuttle bus from SG to Senai. The mode of transport is the same for the official shuttle bus and the unofficial one before. Board Causeway link at Queen Street or Kranji, transfer to hourly scheduled Causeway link airport bus at CIQ to Senai. Some rumours said they are not allowed to do so officially before because restrictions from SG side. The shuttle bus took some business from Changi, saw some SG locals and ang mohs travelling on the same bus from SG to Senai.

100k pa is barely $7k per month (assuming 2 month bonus). Check out MOM 2012 stats, a lot of non-manegerial median income also around there liao. http://stats.mom.gov.sg/Pages/Singapore-Ye...-and-Wages.aspx

Of course I do, shorter queue = less work. Think ahead some OCBC branch operating during the weekends, not sure if the employee have to take rotation on the duty or not.

Oh I tot u joining big4. Cos quite a few of my frens some time back gotten abt 2.7k+500ish cpf allowance. Not common in commercial but a norm in big4.

As for 100k.. not tht high actually. Big 4 3rd year managers would hit 100k (Abt 7 to 8 years exp) banking even more common.

Haha but I can only dream of getting 100k pa

Thanks for your reply again Alaskan bunny. I decided to go with company A after taking into account of future job prospect.

I have another question. Can someone help me out? My company is applying for a pass for me and the official website says it is going to take 5 weeks. However, is 5 weeks really what it takes or will it be maybe 3-4 weeks? This is just so i can plan for anything-Singapore.

If you are not in the sales line. Then only the VPs could earn that figure.
However if you are in the sales line, every position have a fair chances.Sky is limit. But Avp & VP chances is higher.
