Hi All, want to ask some questions.

1. If a malaysia work in singapore, does he need to pay income tax in malaysia? how to calculate the amount for salary SGD 2700?

2. SGD 2700.00 is sufficient to stay at singapore and save money? normally how much can be save monthly?

3. My current salary is RM3700.00. Do you think i should take the offer of SGD 2700.00?

Hope to hear opinion. All are welcome.

just want to ask, do we need to give photocopies of our employment pass AND IC when rent a room in HDB?

well i want to work in singapore.any QA QC jobs?

Anyone who entered Singapore as a graduate, hope you can help me out with a question (not sure who to ask, I have Sgrean and Msian friends but not Msians who graduated and now work in SG friends)

If you plan to get an EP (I am still in school now) do you need to have graduated already (the big piece of paper at the ceremony, about one month after my exams) or can you get it using a online printed and certified copy of your transcript (showing your name and grades).

Thank you!

Edit: I am not in SG but I guess I could call them from here when the time is right - if they entertain questions like this on the phone

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

well thanks
i was looking into manufacturing but nevermind i will go whee the money goes..

my grad isn't too far away from results date, problem might be actual results date is slow

actually I would expect working life is harder but apparently not. Managed to achieved work-social balance up till now.

HR told me I can open a bank account either with DBS or OCBC. Would like to ask what is the difference between these two. I am getting a work permit only, heard that a lot of restrictions with that as well.

Hi everyone, just few question regarding tax clearance for foreign worker,

1. Previously i worked in Singapore 4 years ago, and i have been tax by IRAS for around 5xx SGD, and if i return Singapore to work, will I able to get back the tax? I hear some rumour said can be refund.

2. If i working in Singapore now, and i decide to resign and join another company in Singapore, am i subjected to tax clearance? (work more than 60 days and less than 183 days).

Thanks

Just a quick question regarding obtaining an E Pass:

I am Malaysian, recently graduated from a private university (accounting). If I have an offer for SGD3,200, will I be able to qualify for an E Pass?

I understand that the salary requirement for an E Pass has been raised to SGD3,300. Is this strictly enforced? I took a self assessment on Singapore's MoM website and it says I am likely to qualify for both an E Pass and an S Pass. Not sure why this appears to contradict its policies...

In any case, either pass will be sufficient right?

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!!

Hey guys. I need some guidance/suggestion/advice here. 

I just got an offer from Sg company and they offer me sgd2k for IT Support with 1year contract. Standard working hours, 830am-6pm.

Btw, I got my parents' house in JB, and I guess I'm willing to travel everyday to Spore by bus/bike.

So here's my questions:
1) Is it really worth the troublesome ( wake early morning *4-5am* everyday / facing traffic jams / long queue if using public bus ) ? 
2) What is the best telco to use in Spore?

Kindly enlighten me. Thanks in advance. 

I just want to say this

1) Bakerzin mocha is amazing
2) Singapore KFC sucks
3) Singapore pizza hut spaghetti is awesome
4) Singapore Wan Tan Mee is too sweet
5) Must try Chwee Kway from Bedok food court or tiong bahru market
6) The only bak kut teh worth eating is song fa bak kut teh near clark quey mrt
7) Tim Ho Wan tim sum that char siu pao is nice
8) MBS casino weekday minimum bet is sgd2.50 per table and double up on weekend
9) Thai club in Singapore is korean club
10) Pumproom at clark quey is horny nest
11) Shanghai dolly is overhyped but VIP lounge above has cool jazz band
12) Geylang food is horrible
13) Don't order crabs in restaurant with shiny menu
14) Herbal duck from Ding Xiao Er is also nice
15) Singtel > Starhub

Minimum Occupation Period

You must have physically occupied your flat for a period of time, referred to as the Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), before you are eligible to sell your flat in the open market.

The MOP is calculated from the date you collect the keys to the flat. It excludes any period that the flat is not occupied by the flat owners, such as when the whole flat is rented out or when there is any infringement of the flat lease.

The length of MOP depends on the purchase mode, flat type and date of flat application:
