for fresh grad i would say it is quite difficult for foreigners. for experienced hires should be still OK.

Agents? Bank HR? Which bank?

Is just a question about how they can sponsor you to get the job.

Most often time they use it to lower your hire price.

If you are a Malaysian, I think it is easier to get the EP pass. Experience people is a lot easier as well. Last 2 years, I know a few friends that were in Malaysian banking line. They manage to get a job in SG after a few years experience (minimum 2 years as far I known).

Not 100%. but word of mouth goes that it is easier. Maybe due to the culture. But then, there are so many of these crazy cases of people just dashing through immigration with a car (mostly Malaysian drug smuggler mules). Things might slowly build up a wall.

I think what razo2 meant was, easier for Malaysians among other foreigners to get the EP. I got mine approved within a day.

i think its easier leh...
