Salary seems low in SG, for grads. Could be because we are not locals?

Was offered a position. A ringgit salary would be almost the same or 10%-15% higher. An Aussie salary is almost 70% higher.
*
cause our schools in general are inferior, coz there's more supply than demand

myr 10-15% is 3 years depreciation, msia u pay higher tax less deductible..

aus u pay much higher tax, more exp cost of living.. but i would say aus is more livable..

Malaysian jailed for failing to present passport at Woodlands checkpoint

A Malaysian technician who entered Singapore at Woodlands checkpoint without presenting his passport for checking was sentenced to six weeks' jail on Tuesday.

Mohd Sani Mohamad Salleh, 33, admitted to an amended charge of failing to present his Malaysia passport to the officer on duty before he entered the country on April 21. He was originally charged with attempting to enter Singapore without a valid pass.

A district court heard that Mohd Sani told an Immigration and Checkpoints Authority officer that day he did not have his Malaysia passport with him. He handed over his Malaysia identity card to the officer.

Two Aetos officers arrived at the counter to escort him to the arrival car secondary office.

I doubt you can get a condo single room rented out at 800-1.2k in the sommerset area.

My friend who is renting in toa payoh is already paying $700 for a single room and its just a HDB unit.
*
ada... just go do a quick search...

$700/room is typical rate for hdb.. but sometimes can find exceptions for private at low price

hello! my employer asked me to open an account with either DBS or POSB.  I have got an E Pass. I heard that there is a minimum $1000 needed in the account to avoid penalty.  Does the same rule apply to E Pass holders?

I cannot fork out $1000 in such a short time.  I was thinking, if the penalty is $2/month, i can give them that and when my salary comes in then my balance from then on will be >1000 and so i don't have to pay the $2 penalty anymore.  Thoughts?
*
yeaps... it applies, try asking whether your company have corporate relationship or not with the bank... then they can ignore that term..

also ask your hr whether your first pay can be in the form of a chq, then u use that chq to open ur acct after ur 1st pay.. then only cont in the subsequent months as direct credit

Alot of bureaucracy, legal framework and advance cheques just to satisfy the landlord requirements and to lock in to further negotiations from what my friend who is working in singapore is telling me.

In korea, i just approach a local housing agent, and put in a price which is negotiable, if the landlord is ok with the inital offering, i will meet the landlord in person to view the place, make the final offer and if everything is ok, sign the tenancy agreement and handshake on it. No LOI BS and issuing a cheque just to prove to the landlord that i am serious about renting, if i wasnt, i wouldnt be searching through an agent in the first place.

I used to work in sg 2 years back and whenever i rented, there was no LOI. Just meet up with the landlord and agent to discuss everything in person and get it done there and then.

I guess renting is quite a terrible process once the human element aka the landlord is usually never present during negotiations.
*
no lor.. a lot of guidelines are drawn up by cea to clean up the industry... LOI is an extra step, not requirement...

korea's real estate industry is not so internationalized, not so matured too.. in sg real estate used to be a cow boy industry... until cea came into the picture...

rental dont need LOI, lol.. some agents wanna be more systematic dats why

actually the landlord dont hv to be there, the agent representing the landlord should be the one talking to potential tenant... but of course if this is the case of renting room, both parties gotta know each other better since they would be living under one roof... if whole unit rental, no landlord dont hv to be there and instead would be better not to be there...

Lol, i am talking about my friend who having no experience in renting a whole unit with the LOI since it was usually more straight forward with meeting with the housing agent and landlord, talking it over and signing the tenancy with no LOI in sight.

I am not living or working in singapore anymore so this doesnt affect me one bit but i understand why my friend who is encountering the LOI for the first time is rightly pissed that an extra step in renting a unit is there. When i used to rent my house in Sydney, there was no such thing as an LOI, i just keep on contact with my agent through e-mail or skype and if both parties agree on the price and terms, then my agent will set up everything for me.
*
well, it protects both sides... just like OTP/booking fee when buying/selling... so some smart alek comes out with LOI, it gives both sides some security...

as I had mention, sg's real estate industry used to be a very cowboy/dark area... the moment ppl heard real estate agent they would spit, any tomdicknharry can be an agent, event auntie.... not anymore since cea comes in..

sydney is a develop country... ppl are less sneaky.. just like most matured angmoh mkt, like US, UK.. etc...

Hi all. Need helps and opinion......

I would like to ask about the levy of employment pass in Singapore.

For network engineer, what is the levy the company has to pay if the salary is SGD2500 and SGD3000? Any formula to calculate/know exact or estimated figure ?

I will be working in SG for 3-6 months only for on-job-training. After that i will be transferred back to KL to manage their KL office and client. Would it leave a bad record at SG government if i want to apply work permit again next time (with another company)?

Thanks for comment smile.gif 

Have a great day smile.gif
*
errr, transfer back means employment is with the msian entity? beware of with holding tax on your sg income... less than 183 days in sg, u kena high tax

nope, your transfer is valid.. it is not as though you're like
