Guysss...i have a dilemma and need any suggestions that i can get from the seniors here..i m on ep and my wife is on wp...she is pregnant n i understand from her employer that she is cannot get pregnant while on wp else risk to be deported..

Anybody encounter this and how to get over this?thanks

As long as your wife does not deliver in Singapore then you are safe. Why? Read below sentence from MOM and understand the first statement, it used "or". Singapore cannot restrict you from pregnant since you are legally married. The last sentence say applies even after work permit is expired, cancelled or revoked, cannot be they disallowed you to get pregnant after your WP expired and went back to Malaysia. So the main point is cannot deliver in Singapore.

"Not get pregnant or deliver a child in Singapore during the validity of their Work Permit unless they are already married to a Singapore citizen or permanent resident with the approval of MOM. This applies even after their Work Permit is expired, cancelled or revoked."

Your wife don't need to cancel the WP, she can still work and entitled to 8 weeks paid and 4 weeks unpaid Maternity leave as long as she is covered under Employment Act and worked more than 3 months (and does not fall into the "not covered" category"). Below extracted from MOM and refer to below URL for maternity leave:

You can try if you like, from what i see so far LTA doesnt enforce this yet. The rule are there but they are not pressing it. But it is easy to enforce as you cross the border with EP yet your vehicle obviously overstay.

You may try to purchase a HDB season parking, the system only allow Malaysian registered vehicle to park from 7am to 1030pm while Singaporean regiestered vehicle it is whole day. Why?

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

I graduated a few years ago and I recall that many of my peers were aspired to join a financial institution. Investment banks like JPM and Barclays offer graduate programs in different functions. Other banks like Citi and DBS also have their own MT programs, which I think require candidates to rotate around different departments.

Other than that, I remember that large MNCs such as PG, L'oreal, Unilever, Siemens, BP.. all held career talks at my university (NUS). I think they have their own leadership development programs too.

But mind you these programs are competitive and you need to have very good results to get an interview. For me I didn't make the cut for any of these programs.

Try this website. www.indeed.com.sg. It consolidates job oppotunities from companies and some job portals like efinancialcareers and jobsbank. I often seen graduate programs advertised there.

Sorry,

1) When I said price range I referring to the the SGD1,000-1,500 range.

2) HDB is what? Flat?

I dont mind HDB. But if HDB I prefer 1 bedroom HDB housing.

Anyways thanks for the clarification. I kinda know what to look for now.

hmm..if paying same price for both, and both shown similar capability, no doubt they wlll go for PR/Spn instead of pass holder.

as for becuz of quota..i feel like more becuz the HR feel troublesome to apply pass for foreigner...lol

haha..fair enough la..don't see a problem on that..
u wanna change to pink IC? though those high earning coupe in S'pore will normally remain 1 M'sia IC in order to hold properties in Msia..

My wife (then fiancee) applied together 3 years ago. Mine took 2+ months to approve, hers took 9+.

What made you draw above suggestion ?

*shrugs* and the colleague who took 7 months till approval is a very qualified candidate..NTU Bachelor till PhD, Asean Scholarship holder, and we both work in the area where the emphasis is now (knowledge based industry)...Still took so long..

You got a point. Plus, I signed some consent form or something, probably they can access my tax/bank details to verify pay slip. I'm not sure, to what extend, the rights that these 3rd party has...

Does all telcos in Singapore need to be on 2 year contract with 2B? I am shocked.  Usually in Malaysia, you are on 2 year contract only if the package comes with a new handphone.

I am thinking of getting a iphone 6S which costs me about RM2100 (Maxis) with contract. I have no problem signing up with them if I am still working in Malaysia. The problem is, I cannot tie up with Maxis or any Malaysian Telco, because I will be in Singapore next year (at least I plan to).

I was wondering if I should wait till I got a job in Singapore and buy the iphone there. What is the price of iphone 6S in Singapore? Any great offers from the telcos in Singapore? Cheaper than those offered in Malaysia? I am sure if we buy direct from Apple shop in Singapore, it will be expensive.

Hi there, first time posting in this thread. I need advice from you kind people.

I'm looking for a job in singapore, been looking a month already but no response at all, not even an email reply.

A bit of background: I'm currently working in UK, I have an Aussie degree and a UK masters. Work experience almost 5 years total in Msia, UK and Aussie. My partner is being transferred to Sg so I need also find a job there to move with him. Looking for mid-level exec job/low level manager job in marketing field. I've been sending applications through recruitment agencies, some direct to companies, and some through LinkedIn. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I haven't heard a peep from anywhere.

Questions: Is my method of job search (online job postings etc) wrong? How can I improve my chances of success? How do other Malaysians get jobs there? Should I undersell or oversell myself?

Partner is being transferred end of December, so I'm pretty desperate now. Please advice! Thanks very much

hi, anyone can advise on changing money back to malaysia for SGD 60,000 ?

1) withdraw from bank counter, ask for big note, 60 pieces of 1000 notes, go raffles do TT.... was wondering do they accept 60k transfer ? Any problem ?

2) direct transfer from my OCBC bank account to my malaysia bank account. But dun knw the rate and total charges, been asking OCBC and malaysia bank, both oso dun knw.... Wtf

Anyone know which one is better or is there any other better way to do so ?

P/s : legal money with salary slip, savings over 5 years, with tax paid every year

Are you sinkie? Then Minister say s$1000 household income can buy liao http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest+News/S...303-331368.html

That's like to have 6.5k salary to save 4k / Month ,

CPF takes about 400 - 800 ( cause first year is low till reach 3rd year )
Eat, phone, Transport 1k
Rental 1k

Extra savings sure go around staying in SG is Boring !

then Msia how? throw citizenship for a hdb house.. really worth it meh?

The minister not realistic in the first place.. where got such a thing, Singaporean under 35 making 1k/month only.. this is kaisu land with kaisu ppl.. no way such thing will be allowed to happened else bring great disgrace to their family.

Lol don't be fooled. The person you quoting in reality annual salary can buy one hdb in cash.

Wao all the pr.. i still have to wait at least 4 years b4 i can qualify for hdb cos need to apply for pr. Haha i calculated the other day that the fastest i can own a residence is 2020. Fastest for pr to get hdb is 2021. =__=""

So im kinda stuck thinking wheher to just go bck msia since by 2018 i can get a fully renovated resale dst ready.

I will be taxed.
I thought of that as well until the tax agent advised to not do this.
I kept all my documents alright and paid my taxes. But, I bought books. Lots of books.

Edit: Remember I mentioned that I bought a lot of books? I lied.

That bad in Singapore?!   

ive heard your work permit will be revocked as in, you will never had the chance of entering Singapore to work again after like... resigned for more than ... 3times? or how many times may i ask :3
