QUOTE(Green_Emerald @ Jun 9 2014, 01:36 PM) Those like low cost house. Cause I heard cannot take loan if no income or whatever, if never pay income tax, when buy property they sometimes will come ransack your house and ask for income tax payback. So if working in Sg, can entitle to these loans and stuff? Especially the low cost house. No problem getting loan in MY. You just need to show them your Singapore NOA (Notice of Assessment). But their conversion rate they won't give you that great as money changer. Some banks take SGD at 2.2 conversion rate.

QUOTE(chow_shasha @ Jun 16 2014, 10:40 PM) 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.

QUOTE(chow_shasha @ Jun 17 2014, 08:41 AM) 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.

QUOTE(life4 @ Jul 2 2014, 10:43 PM) I have tried to look at the jobstreet and see those experience, expected salary, and education level by the applicants. I just see quite some with like 8 years only putting expectation like $2500-$3000 only.Making me think it is too competitive in theĀ IT field in Singapore because I am expecting $3500 or more lo. that's pretty normal depends on which IT field you are in. I also 7 years exp and drawing a lot less than that  . If you are in the support field, for sure your pay gonna sux. move to other field if you have the chance. If you want to earn high $$ in Singapore. Either be a banker or venture into O&G. you can ask mackiddo& deodorant for more info. 1more thing to add, same position actually pays 50% more in KL (dollar to dollar comparison). So don't expect you will get dollar to dollar pay if you are from IT support field. IT sux in Sigapore. This post has been edited by Lester1987: Jul 3 2014, 11:42 PM
