The issue now is the ratio of Singaporeans/PR vs foreigners. The ratio also varies depends on the industry. In addition, there is also another layer of ratio for foreigners from different countries. Malaysians have a higher ratio, being a traditional source of talent.
If you are earning above a certain amount, eg EP passes will need a minimum of SGD3300PM and S-Pass will have to be at least SGD2200pm and with the right experiences and/or qualification from a recognized university, you should not have problems securing this pass. They used to consider only the monthly salary but with the large influx of foreigners with questionable degrees, they have tighten things up and will reject those from un-recognized university even if the salary is high.
If you have any question, I will be happy to help out. PM me

The job market is good for people with skills and experience. For the simple reason that your earning should exceed the amount to qualify for an EP. The issue for many entry level jobs is the ability of your hiring company to secure the approval.
We are looking for network engineers with 5 years experience. Let me know how I can help. Always willing to lend a hand to a fellow Malaysian

Totally agree.. I have interviewed many Malaysians who do not have good command of English, written or spoken. You will be knocked off first even before we get to the skillsets part. Do your homework, send in a well written resume and letter.. no errors. And brush up on your English... the world out there uses English, not BM.
And dress well for an interview.. nails, hair, clothes, shoes... first impression counts a lot. For ladies, dress professionally, not like you are going for a party. ( maybe some companies like it but not ours )

I am seeking electrical engineering or computer science graduates for a data center. Fresh graduates or those with a few years experience may also apply. Need to be able to understand network and basic applications. You may send me your cv at yengtecklow@yahoo.com and we can talk more

Typically in Singapore, the pay should be $ for $ the same in Malaysia but with the exchange rate you are getting 2.6 times more. The final 4 also depends on the company type,MNC vs local ( although the gap is narrowing) and of course level of responsibility. But living in Singapore is also ex so if you can somehow manage to share with some friends, it can leave you with little savings. Or like some other people, they commute daily from JB. Journey can make you old very quickly.
