It only takes a few days for the permit approval usually

Oh wait, you are applying for Work Permit and not S-pass / E-pass?

Most probably its not that MOM didn't ask you, but your company didn't ask you when they submit details to MOM

Same reason why they have the 18 hour limit
They don't want people staying in SG to drive MY cars

Yupp thats right

You wont get a "real" studio for that price
But there are many renovated houses to resemble small studio apartments

Basically imagine a house made into 8 rooms, each with their own attached bathroom and small "kitchen" corner
Amenities like washing machine may or may not be shared
That's the best you can get if you really need to stay alone for that budget

Without EP they will ask for $$ deposit, and you must have the tenancy agreement to show your address
Better just to wait until you get your EP

The SGD will continue appreciating, but MAS will take actions to slow the appreciation so exports do not suffer
Applies to SG's main trading partners only

Think that's what it means

Nope

Because what your unborn children is "willing" to do really matters?

Tampines looks quite near, sounds like a good plan
Btw did you get a sales related job?

HR la....

Starhub's plans are about $8 lower per month if you take it without the phone + contract
Not sure about Singtel and M1, i think theirs is the same with/without contract

Subsidy is in the phone, not the monthly fee which is why they want to bind you by contract

1st complain got no car, then complain car cannot simply park?
I don't like that I can't park my aeroplane anywhere too, doesn't matter that I don't have one to begin with, just want to complain

I read this as - not capable enough to be competitive in SG

I see, that makes more sense then

But all of their complaints are due to 1 thing - they don't earn enough
They're probably those ppl who think S$3k can give them the same lifestyle as RM9k in Malaysia

I mean seriously can you imagine someone moving back to MY cause they can't park their car at roadsides...what kinda complaint is that man

We're not looking down, it's just natural that people who prefer SG to have opinions that are sided towards SG
Just like how those people who moved back to MY have good opinions of MY and bad ones of SG

Just that when you complain about things like small house, can't afford car, nothing to do on weekends...what is the real thing you are complaining about?
Smart people can look beyond the words to understand what the real message is

Yupp, that's the kind of attitude that people can look right through

They are truths for sure, but why do they have small houses and no car?
The real truth is the answer to that
Yupp the same applies to Singaporeans as well, not all Singaporeans are rich just like not all Malaysians have big house and nice car

Pros and cons, if they're happy in MY there's nothing wrong
To be honest it's possible that I may move back to MY in the future too, if I can't earn enough for a good life in SG

So that means HR will proceed with your application anyway since there's nothing a landlord will give you to show you have "booked" a place to stay

Btw without your work pass approval your landlord wont be able to register you as a tenant
This means they wont "book" the place for your either

I suggest after a couple of weeks just tell your employer you found a place at XXX to rent and then chase them for the work pass

Do some research on the direct neighbourhood too

I didn't when renting my place, started hearing a lot of crazy loud screams in the day time
Turns out the "condo" directly opposite my room is a home for intellectually disabled patients
