I remember the DBS ppl needed my malaysia IC as well for some reason.

We got our own resident agent AlaskanBunny, service guarantee good one. And his dupe sgrealestate also.

Hi guys,

What's the best sim to go for now to maintain minimal usage Malaysia number? My Hotlink SIM card died liao, number kena recycled. I previously used to buy 1 year validity to keep the number alive but recently "upgraded" to the #hotlink plan which apparently isn't eligible to buy validity

puppyee

Haven't even step foot in SG already dreaming about PR? Keep applying lo. Certain fields like finance is close to impossible to get in now for fresh grad due to all the backlash against FT. Not too sure about eng companies. Set yourself a target date, if by certain months no luck then apply KL or JB to at least get some income and work experience in the meantime lo.

Next week Badminton
7th Sept 3-5pm Bendeemer Secondary School
PM me if interested

There are no officially published PR approval criteria. Anecdotally, Malaysians, SG Uni graduates, high tax payers have a better chance but nobody can tell you for sure what the emphasis is.

rather than trying to cut here cut there, benchmark your offer $ amount against what the market is paying to see if it's fair or not lo. http://stats.mom.gov.sg/Pages/Occupational...ables-2012.aspx

hitsu and 7 for all mankind are correct, it applies to both. so if your PR > 10 years but your wife PR today approve u still gotta wait 3 years.

In the first place why do you need to tell your current employer anything?

How much pay "increase" (without converting) would you need to go back to Malaysia?
1.5x (e.g. you earning sgd5k now, go back for rm7.5k)? 2.0x?

fuh super necro old post
PR now need 3 years (both husband and wife) before can buy resale
And yes, also cannot own any private residential property anywhere.
Want link just google, easy to find.

Very easy. just make eappointment then submit your documents then gaudim, you've applied for PR!

I thought you need Singpass to login to jobsbank, how you check?

Anyway it's anyone's guess how effective the jobsbank actually is with regards to FCF. As an example, in my company (a 70k+ employee MNC), any internal job posting they MUST advertise it on the intranet for 2 weeks as per HR policy. Yet half or more of these internal ads actually they already have decided on a candidate and are just wayang to waste everyone's time for formalities' sake.

If you go to sinkie forums like HWZ, everyone thinks the jobsbank also wayang only and companies will just continue hiring foreigners just with an added formalities step of "oops I put on jobsbank but no suitable candidate apply from there also."

How many people actually retire at 55 though? My dad this year 67 still working. But of course that's also partially cos he has 5 kids, 3 of which are still schooling / in uni lol.

cos our adopted home now most expensive city in the world but my salary only $30k pa, how to lighten family burden when sendiri oso need to do karang guni part time on weekends?

my rental alone is 26k

Nobody can say for sure since SG doesn't publish acceptance criteria. For all we know the ICA has a team randomly approving applications based on how handsome (or pretty) you look. Having said that a few websites arbitrarily recommend 1 year for PEP/P1 EP, 2 years for P2 and 3 years for Q1. For me on P2 EP, I applied after 1.5 years work, my waifu on Q1 EP applied after 1.0 years, both of us got approved.


since you need to submit 6 months payslip, so 6 months work then u can apply PR.

1. yes
2. yes. if your rental with landlord has rental agreement and your agent was doing his job, there should be a clause that allow u to break your lease halfway because u no longer have immigration rights to stay and rent in SG
3. not sure of the details but typically your company will withhold the whole year's tax from your salary and use it to pay IRAS.

yeah, but remember, the whole discussion started from me saying my dad can't retire at 55 and need to work to support the 3 studying children ... my $4k a year isn't gonna be able to support them mah
