Depends on one's goal. If have patience and options, one wouldn't even accept something lower.
Yup, but don't think we so stupid request lower pay lol. Usually employer offer lower pay and the situation would be take it or leave it. Hence, "cheap FTs". 

Haha.. thanks man. Definitely will. Last time they housed me. This time, they say no more spare room.. and since I've been moved permanently to my sg office, I need to find my own place..

As very sudden, I haven't had chance to discuss salary packages yet. All I was told is they will apply for my epass, which shouldn't be an issue as I meet all the criteria. I.e. specialized degree, prior work experience, same company, etc.

But now I'm having second doubts if this is the right move.. As rental rates are very high and sg lifestyle isn't my liking. I.e. if want to drink at hip and trendy place, compared to Msia, it cost a bomb..

oh wells.. see how it goes this Wed.. if my company doesn't remunerate me properly, I may start looking for other work.

In terms of finding temp accom, I think bunking in backpackers for two or three days will do. Budget around 15sgd/day is ok? Or need more. Will be Damn awkward staying with travellers and suddenly got one white collar professional waking up at 6am whilst they stumble drunk to sleep.. wahahaha..

Guys

Read the approval letter for instruction? Go marina and scream your lung out? Post in HWZ and let locals bombard you? Go get some TB or Aids so your medical checkup will fail? Get ready for CPF pay cut? Don't know man. Do what you want to do.

SG Gahmen do things sure correct one. I say you just follow don't ask question. See what SG become under the policy compared to MY? Money in CPF good. For working class like me, CPF is the only ticket to buy a unit to live in SG. Then every month contribution settle the installment, so easy. Medical also taken care. Got kids, auto save for education some more. Worry free, why not?

CPF is a big ponzi scam. Just becuase you think its Singapore you think they are clean?
Well not quite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_count..._by_public_debt
Singapore internal debt is 111% its GDP. What that means is that the SG gov borrows more than 100% of its GDP from its own bodies like Temasek, CPF, etc. The govenment cannot afford to repay those debts. They just can't.

Why do you think they keep rising the min age of withdrawal and now they even set a min sum for withdrawal under the pretext of helping or preventing their citizen who would spend all their money away? THe min sum keeps increasing and increasing every year. Why is that? Its becuase the gov cannot repay their citizens should they choose to withdraw their CPF lump sum en mass. That is why they try to smoke.

Nope. But Singapore will just raise the min age for withdrawal and raise the min sum to be kept in your CPF lo.
Effectively you cannot withdraw your CPF if it is below SGD155k currently i think. And the amount is rising.

Then you already answered your own question.

Just give a call to the EP vendor and she said now MoM doesn't allow to start work with IPA and white card, must get the pass issued electronically first

I thought can start work with IPA and white card so I got more time to find room..

Car pool? Nice idea. But how much per trip.
Anyone know if let say once I get spass or epass and I married. Do have such rules or regulation which spouse cannot work in Singapore too.
