PR is really hard to get this days. Good luck if you're planning to get one..

Marine industry earn quite a lot la...

Btw... Sarawak is not cheap. Compared to KL and other places, maybe can only save on toll. Other things not really cheaper some even more expensive especially groceries. Many things are made in Peninsular and shipped to Sabah/Sarawak so many household needs are actually more expensive there.

Want buy house not hard la... Need to save the downpayment and save some buffer for instalment. After that need secure a job that can at least pay the monthly instalment. Or save downpayment d, buy house then use rent to cover the instalment while still working in SG. Let family or relative manage the house.
Btw... How can we loan in Malaysia if we're working in SG? Need ask family help loan? Else how to let bank approve our loan?

Are you sure about that? If I enter on Sunday afternoon and exit on Monday afternoon I don't get charged? What about if I exit on Tuesday afternoon?

I'm not so sure about dining in proper restaurant so not sure whether that's a standard practice. But it's something we're used to in Malaysia. That extra 16%
Erm... At least...

Those food courts no, McD no, Subway no, fastfood all mostly no, others I don't know la. Current project around orchard area so every shop there is too bloody expensive to eat in. Only can eat fastfood or food court.

Btw... Anyone knows Jolibee? It's bloody full everytime. Lunch hour, the food court one full I think the 6th floor one also full. Why ppl queue for it? So delicious? Or just hype?

Hi all, I'm planning to immigrate to Singapore with my wife and from what I read so far the process should be like
1. Find a job and get a work permit.
2. Apply dependent's visa for my wife.
3. Apply for PR.

Is that correct? Anything I miss?

By the way, I have more than 10 years of working experience in software development and wondering if IT job market is good there?

FYI no I don't have a job secured yet. But I'm looking at relocating next year, so will have to manage my RM savings. Just traveled a bit lately so savings kinda low for now.

Hello guys,
I got offered (confirmed) job in Singapore with start date January 2015 and I'm in doubt whether to proceed or not. For I have no idea what it would be like there.

The offer sound like this:
Basic : $3500 + $150 phone allowance + 3% - 7% commission based on target, reimbursement transportation & other claimable misc
Work hours is 9am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday & 10am to 1.30pm Saturday
Company: SPH

My concern is: $3500 monthly, is it enough to survive?

I've read this thread partly and found that a decent single room is already costing $800 - thats already 20% of my salary
I can't imagine what else is there to consider.
And the work hours is kinda bit too much. I don't know, what do you guys think?

My current package here in Malaysia:
More or less RM 5000 take home monthly, not much but considering I am home that's enough for me.
Monthly my expenses are rather same thus I would have left around RM 1500 till my next salary drawing every month.

So I still am doubting, whether I should take the offer or not. Your advise? 

Have been going there on biz trips all these whilst and also most of the other family members are all there... already from teenage days wanted to be in singapore...

This is why I suggested Direct Money Exchange in the very first place. It is also quite hassle free.

1) You hand-over the cash to the money changer or you transfer the money from your OCBC to the money changer's OCBC for instance (with proper documentation of course and regulated by MAS)

2) Once the money is received in the money changer's OCBC, the money changer staff stationed in KL will bankin cash of the equivalent value agreed to your CIMB.

You get better rate, no admin fee needed.
