QUOTE(xiaovievie @ Sep 12 2015, 09:11 PM) Trying to get some side incomes on weekend  Like others have said, your work pass is tied to your company. So you're not allowed to do any other jobs with any other company. Want side income then do Internet biz, freelancer services, etc. Possibly/probably still also illegal, but chance of getting caught not high.

QUOTE(kaneshi @ Sep 18 2015, 02:49 PM) Just wonder, if to work in SG and to bring along wife & 2 kids with $6k salary enough to survive? So far, I know renting a 3R flat and sending kids to childcare already cost $2.5k & $2k respectively. Any advice is very much appreciated If your definition of survive is to have the basics covered ie food, water and a roof over your head - sure. But you won't have much luxuries, or savings, or much buffer for a rainy day.

QUOTE(1231_lion @ Sep 20 2015, 08:31 PM) Is it tough to get a job in Sg? Depends. Do you intend to compete on skill (i.e. qualifications, work experience, knowledge, certifications, etc) or on price? If on price then very easy. Just keep applying for lower and lower requirements / pay jobs until someone offers you something.

QUOTE(sauling @ Sep 24 2015, 05:53 PM) Not motorcyles, foldable electric scooter QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Sep 24 2015, 06:28 PM) He mean how are you going to cross. There's only bus lane and motorcycle lane. ^ Exactly. Officially, foot traffic is not allowed any more over the causeway (last time can). Nowadays they only open it up sometimes when there is too many humans overflowing the checkpoint(s). So you going to buy electric scooter and ... go with the pedestrians? Or go with the motorcycles?

QUOTE(crazy25kid @ Sep 27 2015, 10:29 PM) if we no longer work in SG, PR is cancelled or re-entry permit will not be renewed or both means the same thing? PR is still valid but REP no renew so uh ... I dunno. You got like "dormant" PR status I guess?  All I know is for sure you can't cancel PR totally and withdraw CPF before age 55 if you live in west m'sia.

QUOTE(Mareg @ Oct 6 2015, 12:13 AM) 1 year and 5 months in Singapore. I feel like i so miss Penang but looking at the 3.1 rate I cannot go back also I recently got a fren who asked me, did I add any new number into my phone contact after I came here, excluded colleagues. A very good question that stunned me until now, feel so lifeless nia. Like no longer something I hope for, or expected for when I made decision to come down here. You just need to widen your social net. If you can't properly click with your colleagues then try find some other circles. For starters, this J&C thread got a whatsapp group where some older members meet up regularly to play badminton, yumcha, dinner, holiday, talk k0k, etc. PM MacKiddo or Lester1987 if you interested in giving it a shot.

WP is (in theory) for all the maids and construction workers and waitresses, ah gong want you come here do the shit jobs that sinkie don't want to do then gtfo back to whichever 3rd world country you come from. Anything that would help your inferior uneducated smelly genes contaminate the sinkie gene pool like getting pregnant or seducing a sinkie = gtfo. Applies to men too, they oso not allowed to merrid sinkie or PR what. This post has been edited by deodorant: Oct 7 2015, 05:56 PM

QUOTE(beancountz @ Oct 8 2015, 09:56 AM) Is the "not more than 18 hours a day" an official restriction, or? Do they really track? Yes it is an official restriction. In many / some people's experience, they don't enforce it within reason e.g. few days at a time. However past don't enforce doesn't mean they can't suddenly tomorrow decide to enforce, so at your own risk. This post has been edited by deodorant: Oct 8 2015, 11:02 AM
