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  smile.gif

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!!

Hello guys, recently just got a new job in SG as poly fresh grads. Currently still staying in JB and travel daily. Just have a simple question, what's the fastest way to travel to Tanjong Pagar?

Currently I'm CIQ > CW1 to Kranji > MRT to Tanjong Pagar.

Thinking to try CW2 to bugis but worrying it will be jam during the journey. Will find a room soon in SG anyway.

nowadays jam is inhuman. be prepared to brave it. where are you working? we have a bunch of people working in sg and staying in JB also.

Nowdays terrible jam in 2nd link for both msia and sg checkpoint heading to sg as early as 5am.no matter car or motorcycle also jam like hell.jam start when juz exit touch n go at msia checkpoint

Yes agree, unless you take bus, then the jam maybe increase your commute time 10-15 mins at most.

Nowadays bikers need to do 100% full inspection hence 90% of the road being taken up by bikes. Cars have to open the opposite lane road and only one lane of car, its crazy.

Good luck to all those who bought into the 'Iskandar Dream', if they can't solve (or rather, not incentivized to solve) the traffic jam issues, you will see many people pulling their cash out of the stratospheric property market at Iskander very fast.

I find it funny how some property developers still advertise "5 mins away from Tuas Checkpoint" when in reality it takes 2 hours to clear that checkpoint.

I'm also interested to learn more, seems like banking sector in Sg attracts the cream of the crop, while engineering is where those who cannot make it in banking go to.

Any chance for an engineering grad working in a local sg company to join the banks and make 100k in 3 years? Or how long would it take?
