Thanks for your reply again Alaskan bunny.  I decided to go with company A after taking into account of future job prospect.

I have another question. Can someone help me out? My company is applying for a pass for me and the official website says it is going to take 5 weeks.  However, is 5 weeks really what it takes or will it be maybe 3-4 weeks? This is just so i can plan for anything-Singapore.

thanks thanks !!! wow you are right. My company submitted my application on Monday and today they informed me that my pass is approved and so the next thing is to do is just medical check up. Yayyyyyy!!

i am really really really really excited about this Singapore opportunity.  YAAAAAAYYYY 

Now, i will go to Singapore without any pass, do my check up, then get my pass? Do i need to go to the customs to show them my pass after and ask them to clear my 30-day visiting day limit?

so now, it's also time to plan for phone plan and all. Can someone shed some light on which plan is great? I have done some research and it looks like Singtel is the go-to company.  I am looking to get a prepaid plan with about 2gb of internet and just so that i can get a discounted phone, prolly an Iphone. Any suggestion? Maybe if i sign up for a family plan, it will be cheaper? I don't want to spend too much on this though, hopefully below $40/month.

Last time while i was shopping some Singtel staff also was handing out flyers with promotion like $49/month for high speed at home internet.. Is it a normal price range for home internet in Singapore?

Sorry if i asked repeated questions. Just am recently active in this thread so am not fully familiarized with the "etiquette" here.  Thank you in advance!!

eh...they changed the procedure?
last time, my ep process was as follow.
1. bla bla bla...
2. get IPA
3. do medical if applicable (report may be sent to company if medical center appointed else collect yourself and pass to company)
4. make appointment with MOM for work pass registration and finger printing using white card thru company (white card still held by you), they just need the serial number i think
5. appear in MOM with all the docs
6. 4 working days later go back to MOM collect the pass

Hello guys, when I get into singapore this time (Already got offer), do I need to show the customs my IPA?
Also, say I go in on the 10th and start working on the 20th, can I come back to malaysia in between these days? I was thinking since I have to give the mom my white card and all

hello! my employer asked me to open an account with either DBS or POSB.  I have got an E Pass. I heard that there is a minimum $1000 needed in the account to avoid penalty.  Does the same rule apply to E Pass holders?

I cannot fork out $1000 in such a short time.  I was thinking, if the penalty is $2/month, i can give them that and when my salary comes in then my balance from then on will be >1000 and so i don't have to pay the $2 penalty anymore.  Thoughts?

quick question. how fast MOM will give actual EP/work permit after we done with the biometric process ? same day or few days later ?

thanks!

Anyone able to response about this 

i think no company would keep a post 3 months just for you. Your odds or landing a job with such condition is almost 0%, unless they badly need you for your 'rare' set of skill or qualification in which they can't find elsewhere.
If not, good luck.

You mean buy off means I pay the 1month salary back to the employer?

is there any place in Singapore that you can sell your old book?
