Hi guys, Happy CNY. Need to ask for a favor here.
Currently I'm facing this situation. Company A offered me a job and helped me apply for EP, it's approved. However, Company A told me they no longer need to hire new employee. Therefore, they withdrawn my EP application before I started to work there.
So now, Company B wanted to offer me a job, they will be applying EP for me again. My question is, will it affect the result of my second EP approval since my first one was withdrawn? Thanks 

Obviously that's what i want, and obviously there were better ways and means of pointing out the "grey areas" of the post, which were obviously not the way you or anyone else wanted to use.

I highly doubt you wanted to help any "poor fellow" who was potentially (in your opinion) getting into an illegal trap, more like you wanted to seem like a "know-it-all" resider in Sg and wanted some kick from your midday in stirring some babble in this thread.

In any case, it's obvious that you couldn't get the glee of staining me and an illegal sub-letter, and it is also obvious that I couldn't get the benefit of obtaining a tenant from this "helpful" home-thread designed to supposedly help those already in Sg or those wanting to get into Sg.

So whoopee and yippee to all and none alike.

My situation:

1. started working for 4 days (still no S pass card)
2. medical reports (Raffles) still yet to be received, 6 working days already
3. white card due 9th March (and i have used up like 5x/60 days limit)

i consulted HR and she didn giv clear answer but just 'hope' i can get medical report nxt week, and she told me i cant get extension if i hit the 60 days limit.

any advice i can possibly extend? =/

Hi guys, I have issue with rental and lease agreement in singapore. Seeking for advice from anyone experienced the same or have knowledge in this aspect.
I first sub-leased a common room from a couple under a Sub-lease Agreement. After 6 months, this couple left the country and before they left, they sub-lease their room to another couple and got their deposit back from the landlord.

Since then, the landlord is the one in charge but we did not have any new agreement to 'transfer' my sub-lease to main lease. All the terms in my sub-lease agreement are directly towards the Primary Tenant.

So now I decided to move out due to the Landlord wants to increase my rent $100 starting march (our lease ends in May). And I have found someone to replace my tenancy. Question is, what kind of lease agreement should this new tenant sign? a sub-lease with me as primary tenant (landlord registered me as Main tenant) or a lease directly between landlord and the new tenant?

She said she is the landlord, she can do watever she wants. If I got problem I can refer to her lawyer.
She requested me to pay for the increased rental or moved out. If I moved out I must find replacement as per contract stated otherwise I have to pay the rent for the rest of the lease period.
I know she has no right to raise the rent but tbh in Singapore tenancy agreement never protects the tenant and authorities are always on Landlord's side. I am a foreigner and I don't want to take risk if i can just move out and find replacement.

1. is there any other deductions foresee? levy fee or tax (annual or monthly?)
2. if i start to work in may 2015, so in 2015 years i will be a tax resident and pay progressive tax rate?

Dear all,

I have a questions need yours opinion.
ROM before applying PR better or after get PR baru ROM?
Me and my gf is malaysian, i holding EP and she holding WP.

Thanks
Frank

All current and former Work Permit holders are required to seek approval from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) before marrying a Singapore citizen or permanent resident.

An MOM spokesman said in an e-mail response: "If a foreign worker marries without the necessary approval, he/she may be barred from entering Singapore for a period of time.

If you can afford it, definitely should take flight back and forth kl-sg
I've been working here a while and never took the bus, maybe coz I still have that malaysian thinking that buses sucks big time.

Anyway, would definitely try it out someday too though. Peak hours and public holidays should take you 2 hours across the causeway, immigration included.

I would like to suggest you to take flight back to KL because it is waste of time Q ing at CIQ and inhale bad smoke while Q ing up in Bus platform .
Nowadays, flight ticket are damn cheap plus save a lot of time to reach your destination.
Good luck ..

I also plan to travel between Bukit Indah and Teluk Blangah by car after few months in Sg.

Will find carpool with ppl or I drive myself

Oo  wow nice to know there are parents here like me.  Congratz Fiona.  First recruit?  Just to share. My daughter experience her first 2 years of kindergarden in Singapore and i can assure you it is totally worth it.  She can speaks English pretty confident now and very good in expressing herself to the public.  Which i find quite different from other children in Malaysia.  I also notice different childcare comes with different quality.  I was on a one year waiting list for the childcare near my hdb which cost 1k compared to 650 from the other one.  I only want it cause it is just below my hdb but i always wonder why so expensive yet why is there a 100 people waiting list.  When my daughter did gets in in k1  i realized the level of education is totally another level and i like how they always talk to us in preparing us for her primary schooling. 

I will be bringing my 2 months baby there next month.  80% of the infant care in my area are fully booked.  I might need to resort to nanny if i cannot get one.  It is not cheap for a foreigner like me there.  The monthly cost of infant care alone is 1800++ excluding milk etc.  Any tips for me?

i dont intend to check in though, cos it's a 23" tv lol. thought of just carrying it on board.
used = it's been with me for a year + now.

was looking at this though? : https://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page04.aspx?id=10836
not sure if it's relevant lol.

plus, how do i prove that it's less than 400sgd? do i have to have a receipt? the tv was given so i don't have proof of purchase anymore

carry on board ??? a 23" TV is at least 60cm minimum with the shell. With packaging that's at least 62cm. I have never come across any aircraft which gave such a huge allowance for check in carry on luggage.Maybe can just make the cut coz since TV size are measure diagonally.

look at AirAsia one for example:

Hello everyone!

I have a dilemma here. I couldn't decide which Singapore or Malaysia used car to buy and start my journey as Sales Engineer in Tuas, Singapore. I have a few options came into my mind...

1. Stay in Singapore and buy a Singapore used car to drive? PARF or COE car??
2. Stay in JB and buy a Malaysia used car travel in and out everyday through 2nd link?
3. Any more option? (Please specify)

Which one is more cost effective? By the way, my new employer is giving me $500 car allowance and $350 petrol allowance.

Best Regards,
Jasmine

I had just cancelled my EP and my short term visit pass is coming to an end. I am still seeking new employment at the moment but have yet to found 1.

My questions is, how long can i stay in singapore with the white card(embarkation card)? From what I came across, maximum is 90 days but usually the immigration give 30 days.

Let's say for worst case I still haven't been able to secure a job/company that I wanted, can i just go to JB and get a new white card for another 30 days stay? Again, some say can while others you say need to leave SG for at least 5 days?

Your replies/assistance are much appreciated.

Yea, i had the short term visit pass for 30days after EP cancellation. However, i had surrender the short term visit pass even before 30 days (to be exact, i stayed for 23 days already) as it is compulsory when you are leaving singapore. I went back my hometown for the long weekend and will be back to SG tml. So am wondering the validity period of my stay tml using white card.

I understand the need to secure a new job during the transition, however, sometimes things doesn't go the way you wanted..

Is license issued from JB able to extract information from other states like KL? Cause now I'm in dilemma, my father told me that if illegally that will be RM400+, which is absurb, and if official will be just RM10+ but it will remove the Malaysia License. My question is, is it essential to have Malaysia license be voided once I have license in Singapore? It doesn't make sense if one day i gave up the PR and license that bond to that PR will eventually be voided, ended without having any license at all. This is something quite serious in the future and may need to take the practical exam again.     

1st option : I need to ask my friend father help then since he's driving SG plate car.

apologize if you feel offended. of course can enter, but i'm not sure on how the custom checking is. 
SG plate - no checking (Red) require?
MY plate - Red checking require?

guys, just secured a room nera Queenstown but without internet.
can recommend what kind of plan should i go for? normal broadband or fibre or wifi hotspot?

i also might need to apply postpaid number, any combo plan with broadband as well?

do i need to have employment pass card issued first before i can apply those?

so means that i need the EP card first right? not even the digital notification letter that proved my EP issued?
means have to wait for another week 

ya, actually i dun plan on long contract. normal broadband won't do as i'm not heavy user.
just serve lolyat and watch utube

those wifi hotspot no good and no stable ah?

Ya i did check on myrepublic and know that they offer 2 months free, but all their contracts are long and i'm not sure if i will stay that long in sg or not, so most likely can't stick with myrepublic.
The contractless is quite expensive at $70.

I'm more interested on M1 100Mbps 12months contract plan at $40 now as I don't really need that high speed.

The myrepublic, can i subscribe free 2 months trial then change to contractless $70?
And how to check if my place got available fiber spot? I just go to M1 or Myrepublic site and enter the address, and it said i'm eligible

i think owner didn't use internet leh 
later i ask again..

tomorrow jom yumcha..later i move in...dam sien leh..
thanks..will check again when i'm start working
