Thanks for your suggestions! It is not so much about the money really but rather the guarantee that I won't default on my bond.

Ahuh! If things don't go as planned, I will eventually have to talk to MOE and work something out! The banker's guarantee is always available but still, it is not feasible for me unfortunately.

Although I'm willing to help you but I doesn't earn that much as stated by living in a box. However if you seriously need help, maybe you could find Fiona chin.

She's the dai ka jie here

hi all! i heard that foreigners are allowed to drive in Singapore with their own country's license for half a year. Is this right? If so, can i rent a car in singapore using my malaysian license?

Yes, you can. 6 12 months from the date you join.

MBA costed me S$38K from NTU. However, if now the cost has escalated to over S$50K. Paper qual does play a part but you are right, luck can be a factor.


No.

Its that consistent attitude that got those people into Ivy Leagues in the first place that would succeed them in life later on. Its not so much of what cert you have. Slack off at work even a Harvard MBA can be jobless in few weeks.

Hi all, some advice about the most ideal driving time from JB thru Woodlands? If my work place is near Woodlands what would be the most ideal time I should be at the checkpoint to avoid getting massively stuck in traffic? Pls dont mentioned 4am or so.
Appreciate any experience sharing. Tks.
Do they have special lanes for MPV also as I heard?

if you drive, then the jam starts at 5am. If you ride bike, the jam starts 4:30am. Worst time is around 6-8am. after 8am, traffic ease a bit for cars. but when I say ease a bit, it really mean a bit, not a lot. anyway if you reach check point at 8am, If you start work at 9 and work in woodlands, there is a 50% chance that you will be late for work.

you think 4am is a joke ? There are hundred of thousands of ppl travel in and out during the peak hour daily. Things are pretty bad now, in fact the worst jam ever witness and things are not improving . The best time to cross the causeway into Sg is before 6am.

Why should they have special lane for mpv ?

WOW!

overheard some of my msian colleagues and clients say dat lately the jam at causeway getting worst but didn't know it is this worst.

I have lost count how many resumes i have sent,probably more than 150..been sent since my tender..only got like 6 interviews and only one is hiring..

Just keep sending resume like your 9-5 job people..

Thanks for for the detailed advice. Glad to hear traffic eases off later after 8am. The work place is not very far from woodlands ciq. So I am betting that if I can get to ciq by 8.30am, I should be able to reach office by 9.30am. I shall negotiate for flexible hours just to be professional and don't always end up late.

of course there is no guaranty on the traffic, the time i give you is just an rough estimation. sometime shyt happens.
and when shyt happens, you might stuck in the Jam for hours. especially cars. If you ride a bike, the worst case scenario is 1 hour queue, quite standard everyday. even during shytty time. and you will pray hard that it rains heavily. when raining, you only need to queue for 10-15 mins . and rainy days, good luck to car drivers. the jam is crazy.
