Bro, after you convert do you still keep the MY license in the JPJ record?

it is bullshit, by law you can't, and they just charge you extra money for nth, your license in Malaysia will be in record but blacklisted either way, do not go for it...

Singapore license is international license and you can drive in Malaysia with it anytime

None that i can recommend.

For your location and willingness to share, your budget is pretty generous.
You may even be able to snag a single room for yourself.

I do have one advice, avoid staying with owners/landlords if you can.

AGREE !

You can actually get one with aircond and wifi and ceiling fan for around 650. Need to look further though wink.gif

earlier a China woman told me she is renting her small room (probably maid room)? with aircond, wifi, cupboard and bed for $400 in AMK area.

so it really depends on your luck if you find a good stay with good landlord

Flexibility X Money

When you have money then you can choose what you want.
When you have tight budget, than you have to be flexible.

Congratulations. It means your job is quite easy lar. Jealous only. smile.gif

By the way, do you need to access to your company email outside of office hours? Do you do that thru your PC or smartphone? Or, do your colleagues message you directly on your phone? Do you not feel stressed by all these?

In my previous job, I don't have to worry at all of my company email outside of office hours. But now - it's a different story.  shakehead.gif

any of you guys encounter this during ur job application.
my friend got job offered in sg as engineer.
back in interview stage..expected salary he put 2.5k.At the end of the day, the company offered him somewhere near 3k. he told me Sg got benchmark salary range, so never worried that they gonna low baller u ?
Is that true ?
*
I experienced the same twice, once in Malaysia and another in SG. Gave my offer and was increased when hired. Some companies have salary range for different position. However, I think experience and attitude is the major reason one is chosen. Of course there are other reason i.e. how suitable you are in this position compare to other candidates.
