O no wonder, now hard to get approval from gahmen to buy landed for PR. Hidup tree pipu    

my friend some are fresh only get 2k sgd without a problem

1. Go to PropertyGuru Singapore and do a quick search
2. Go to NTUC/Cold Storage/Bus stops near to the location of your choice and look at the notice boards
3. Engage an agent

Please be mindful who you rent with. I have rented my family units out to various nationalities. All I can say is, if possible, try to rent together with Malaysian or Caucasians. These 2 are the least problematic nationalities. Higher chances for them to be students or working professionals who do not mess up or damage your place. Also, less complaints from neighbors about noise. Once again, this is purely from my experience.

All the best in your red-dot journey.

Yes. it is not 100% you'll get WP. Did you receive your in-principal approval yet?

Unfortunately Maybank MY and Maybank SG are 2 different entities and each operates in different currencies. Dividend cheques (in RM) that I received from BSKL cannot be cashed into Maybank SG account. Hence, you only option here is to open a SG bank account. You can opt back for Maybank SG or try local banks - POSB/DBS, UOB or OCBC. Just be warned that POSB/DBS is always very long queue but their atms are everywhere. Don't bother with HSBC or SCB. It's freaking hard to find their atms and usually only found in shopping centers.

As far as I'm aware, employer should settle your WP. My employer settled everything for me. Same goes for my maid WP renewal, I have to settle her WP application.

I'm not sure if you can transfer money between Maybank MY and Maybank SG. Alternatively, you can always use DBS facility which allows you to transfer fund to an overseas Visa card. Else, the most common form would be to use Western Union.

Not that I'm aware. Do what my friend did. When he quit his job in SG and move back MY, he withdrew and brought back his stack of money across causeway. Asalkan jangan kena tangkap!

From 1 November 2007, any person who moves into or out of Singapore cash exceeding SGD 30,000 (the prescribed amount) or its equivalent in a foreign currency, is required to give a report in respect of its movements. Any person who receives cash exceeding the prescribed amount from outside Singapore is also required to give a report within five business days upon receipt.

Per guideline "A traveller who enters or leaves Singapore is required to give a report if he carries with him an amount exceeding Singapore dollars 30,000 (or its equivalent in a foreign currency)."

Back then, he brought with him an amount equivalent to RM200K ~ S$77K. Went back S'wak and down payment a detached house. 

If i'm not wrong, Sabah/Sarawak residents are allowed to withdraw the entirety of CPF if you decide to leave Singapore. So, you can easily accumulate such amount as long as you don't splurge.

You don't need to change all at once. Can always slowly change and keep under your pillow!
It depends. My cousin just got a job in Singapore but have to take up any job though...even though it doesn't pay well. end of the day, it's all luck and perseverance. You're ultimately competing with other nationalities.

CPF only for SPR and locals. If i'm not wrong, government retains 15% of your monthly pay and will return any leftover after tax deduction.

I strongly do not recommend that you stay on as WP/S Pass throughout your entire career in SG. At least try to apply for PR after 6 months.  With PR, you have the flexibility to join any SG companies and won't be at the mercy of the employer who applied for your WP or S Pass.

Only con I can think of is that you can't drive your Malaysia registered car into Singapore anymore.

Usually (Mec/ Software) engineer (fresh) grad paid well in spore. $2.7k - $3k probably.

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 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.

June is the graduation period for sg uni. Unless u r much better than them, ur chance are slimmer compare with other period. Local engineers getting above 3 I heard, fresh from uni, construction.

2.4k is a bit low. I believe u can get at least 2.7k even being a fresh graduate. Few company like Sembcorp, Keppel can offer this kind of salary (non first class). Not to mention Shell, exxon, Chevron etc. In fact most company in JI  can match EP salary.

I got EP and my salary <3k. I also dunno why.
Nowadays so hard to apply PR.   

I went to JobFair yesterday at Marina. Most of the employers only interested on Singaporean and PR only especially financial and property industry. Eat sand liao

So you've made up your mind? Ok. mostly EP..

We tree pipu eat buaya alive, don't worry. Since your home at Srk might as well work in SG instead of KL. Nearer too flying home.

Haha... pardon my English but doesn't make cow-sense to work elsewhere in Malaysia if you can work in Singapore.  Moreover, your marketability improves when you have worked in Singapore. 

Not to mention the average 2.55X exchange rate you're enjoying.

Where got tax, forced savings lah. Buy property can use OA to downpayment and pay housing loan. After 55 give up PR get back all the money, gtfo buy a treehouse back in treepipu land and hunt babi hutan using sumpit.

In the meantime, no PR can't buy HDB, need to buy $1mil+++ condo and pay 18% stamp duty. If u elite enough like Fiona Chin and gnc88 then OK lor, the rest of us either apply PR to buy HDB or rent for 30 years.

LOL - buaya-sense sounds like very chi-ko-pek (miang). Anyway, who knows, when you in SG, you met your other half and decide to stay here like me. Sometimes, life throws you a curve ball.
