As long as you stay PR, you don't need to give up your M'sia license. You only give it up once you convert into S'pore citizen. However, Singapore driving license is an international license with no expiry. So, you never have to renew.

Technically and legally, this is incorrect.
You are only allowed to drive in Singapore using a Foreign License for the first year you are here. http://driving-in-singapore.spf.gov.sg/ser...nformation.html Therefore legally, your second year onwards even at EP/WP/SPass status already you need to have Singapore license.
According to law, you are NOT allowed to hold Singapore and Malaysia license simultaneously

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR SINGAPOREAN DRIVING LICENCE

- Any holder who has obtained the Singaporean driving licence will have his Malaysian driving licence revoked by virtue of Section 29(b) of the Road Traffic Act 1987.

- If the holder's residence/work duration/contract has expired in Singapore, he can apply for a Malaysian competent driving licence by using a confirmation letter issued by the relevant authority in Singapore.

- While holding a Singapore driving licence, the licence holder can drive any Malaysia vehicles registered in Malaysia or Singapore.

There is no such thing as International Licence, only International Driving Permit and it's for a different use altogether.

E&E engineer..., I know a local NTU fresh grad managed to get $3k (but not sure if it is the exceptional case). Generally, I think if u can get between $2.5k to $3k consider quite good already for fresh graduate.

What is the firm size and how much they offer you? Is the firm well-known in the industry? Depends your goal. I would say after August it would be even harder to get SG offer... if you accept it, very likely you will get EP (2 years), and I dont suggest you to change firm/job during the EP period ... ...

2.4k although I think I heard 2.5k when from another call earlier before the interview.

I thought EP need at least 3k now?

Can tell why after August harder to get SG offer?

2.4k to an engineer is rather low, but as fresh grad; bargaining power is lower unless your have special abilities or prior working experience.

EP wise I cant comment much cos I dont know how the MoM assess. I believe there are also forumers here with <3k salary get EP.

Erm, just make it short as per spore latest budget. The new hire policy is to give priority to Singaporean first, and additional criteria need to be fulfilled before to offer to foreigners.
