can't tell if one is malaysian or singaporean as we speak with same accent

I beg to differ. Taxi drivers seem to always know that I'm Malaysian whether I speak Mandarin or English. I think i don't use 'anyhow' and 'wah kaoz' enough in my speech icon_idea.gif

Guys I had being offered as a personal banker in one of the local bank with the basic pay of $2850 and $300 allowance. Is this offer good?

Seems OK for fresh grad (or ~1 year experience).

May I know what will be checked in medical checkup for EP application?

HIV and TB. If you got any of these then you can say bye bye to ever setting foot in SG.

The delay of 1 and half mth is not acceptable without a valid reason (MoM belum approve WP -__-).
What course of action i can take? 

Why on earth is this not a valid/acceptable reason? MOM didn't approve your pass means you cannot work what.

If you want to buy SGD, then you look at the "sell" rate display at the shop. But as you pointed out, both shops say 'no stock'. It means they don't have SGD to sell you.

Wrong lah. He said he went to a SG money changer and wanted to buy SGD (and sell MYR). So the shop buy MYR rate is what he should take.

enigma666 ask him to open an LYN account and PM our O&G daikor MacKiddo. If he is impressed then the sky's the limit for O&G jobs in SG. But if he is not impressed then it'll be blacklist forever.

If this a normal thing in SG or is it just the SME kiam siap? (for those who wonder, i work in art & design field)

Illegal liao. You got few options.

1. Tell the company no you not interested in this unlawful attempt to skirt regulations and you want the full quoted salary. Then the company will ask you to go screw yourself.
2. Take the job. Report company to MOM. Company get fined then they will find all sorts of ways to screw you.
3. Take the job and diam diam support illegal and unlawful activity.

If do in SG, do I need to do another registration at high comm MY at SG within 6 months after marriage?

If you want your marriage to be registered in Malaysia then yes. Otherwise just don't bother (but you and your wife will remain single status in Malaysia).

Ah, I have checked the internet.  It takes about 26 mins train ride from Woodlands to Clarke Quay. 

Which website you check? In reality it's more like 40-45mins station to station (not including travel time from station to office, etc).

I say take it, you can live a comfortable life with $3k in SG.

Interested to know what your concept of comfortable life is. $3k seems to me can live a damn luxurious life. Our own daikor MacKiddo senior petrol pump attendant mentor <$2k a month but still got SG car SG hdb taitai waifu and raise 3 kids. So $3k surely can live private condo liao.

Hmmmmmmmm right so it's a decent offer? Hm I'm getting 4k myr now and can't help feeling it's a pay cut

Simple, supply and demand. If you've been trying for a while then obviously the demand in Singapore for your skills and experience is less than the supply available. So why would a company go through all the trouble to hire you (a foreigner) if the skills/experience they need is in abundant supply in Singapore? Because they think they can get you at a cheaper cost (i.e. below market rate) lo.

BTW lots of us here in this thread came over on parity (i.e. 1:1 sgd myr) or better. Me personally came over on 1.07 sgd to 1.00 myr. So it's not always that you kena tekan, it's whether the company willing to pay market rate for you or not.

I heard that from my future boss. He was saying that it might be a good place for me to stay in future since it has a beach. 

Most of the beaches in SG got BBQ pit. Go online and rent it then every weekend do BBQ and announce here in J&C. Free booze and free food surely a lot of ppl will turn up. Maybe one or two of them might even not be batang.
