Hello! can someone suggest me a way to move my stuff to Singapore? I have a lot of luggage. Maybe by KTMB train? Or transport my stuff all the way to Singapore with a car? (the better the cheaper) laugh.gif

from where ? if in KL can contact our vigilante Lester1987. He helped some forumers before. Just maybe share petrol and buy him dinner will do. A friendly guy. I think car is the easiest way. Anything to declare ?

Hi,

Can someone enlighten me about the career prospect of an ACCA grad? Is it hard to get job in Singapore?

Right now, I am torn apart between pursuing my degree in Accounting & Finance or to do ACCA. I've gotten an unconditional offer from a top uni in UK to do the degree.

If someone could offer their insight thanks!

go uk, work uk...

because i think studying something I am doing now would be easier than studying something that I don't know at all.

You're being 'torn apart' by the wrong choices.

There is no "choice" between a Degree vs ACCA. To succeed, you need BOTH a degree and a professional qualification. All your competitors in Singapore will have both. Many will have both AND a MBA or Masters in Finance.

I see. But you can get a degree while doing ACCA. It's from Oxford Brooke's uni though unsure.gif

No. I do not feel sad for them. Its part and parcel of IB life. When times are good these guys gets paid bonus by the hundreds of thousands and for some millions. So I do not feel happy or sad for them. Its all part of the cycle.

Given the role of this industry in the last few recessions, and the grossly disproportionate influence, freedom to act and freedom to reward themselves that they hold over the global economy - I do feel any moves to cut this industry down to size is positive. More regulation, simplification and reduction is definitely called for.

Losing a job not so good with family and kids. Maybe for them is early retirement with the money they have already.

Minimum Occupation Period

You must have physically occupied your flat for a period of time, referred to as the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), before you are eligible to sell your flat in the open market.

The MOP is calculated from the date you collect the keys to the flat. It excludes any period that the flat is not occupied by the flat owners, such as when the whole flat is rented out or when there is any infringement of the flat lease.

The length of MOP depends on the purchase mode, flat type and date of flat application:
