The clause come with "without sufficient cause" at the back, to protect both parties. Imagine a pregnant lady switch off months before maternity leave because she thinks the company won't sack her due fear of MOM investigation. It is always easy to find fault here and there. Say, you reading and posting in forum early on during working hours should be sufficient reason for non-performance behaviour to deduct your pay.

You rent is not inclusive of wifi?

Am using myrepublic 1gbps and have no complains.
If you're renting a room, better check with the owner if his house is fiber ready, and if he allows you to use the ports or not. He could be using it already.

The original employment contract is between the company and a WP/EP holder. The T&C in that contract are specific to the employment of a foreigner. Now the employee has become a PR. The laws applicable to the company and the PR employee are different. Would that original contract still hold?

Alternatively, when an WP/EP employee loses his WP/EP for some reason. Does their existing employment contract hold, now that the employee has gone from a permit holder to tourist?

the contract states my name and passport number, which remains the same, and it didn't mention anything about foreigner/local/PR, and no specific T&C that says the contract will be nullified if the employee becomes PR. The HR did hand me a letter and wanted me to sign on it after i told them my PR application is approved, but i refused. they could've terminated me like some suggested here, but ultimately they gave in after i called MOM numerous times (including a conference call between HR, ME and MOM) to confirm what they wanted me to sign is against the law.

tourist cannot be hired. when one loses his WP/EP, be it cancelled by employer, or revoked by enforcement agencies, then off he go...

do u know that porting fibre cost a lot?
if u move before the contract ends, u have to pay for port termination for the old one AND port activation for the new one which costs a few hundred bucks
do take note of this
this is the reason i am still on cable.

provided the new house has fibre termination installed, otherwise extra installation fee applies, and that is something u cannot take with you if you decide to move again.

js get the broadband when on promotion...some include free installation
but rmb most of the deals are 2 year contract

Thr owner does not want to share out his wifi. As his previous tenant always download 24 7 . He lower the rental fee ..

I see mostly include free installation atm. But the catch is contract two yrs.

Try mobile broadband if don't want the hassle. I survived on mobile broadband for years.

or nego with the landlord? say u dont do heavy downloads. just surfing.
my landlady initially didnt want to share the wifi. she say later i download illegal stuff, she will kena.
but i sms her son and he is ok with sharing with me. so in the end i split the cost with them.

I see! That can't be helped then unless you negotiate with the landlord.

How much data do you use per month? Would you recommend Singtel, M1 or Starhub?

have use all 3 before at different timings, personal preference is Suckhub, followed by Stinktel, then Missing1.
to be honest, the traffic lights (Green, Red, Yellow) all sucks, it's either they throttle mobile broadband users in favour of those using data plan on phones, or they've been oversubscribed, cause i felt that surfing on phone is way faster than using the mobile broadband..
switch to starhub cable after that, and 4 years later went to fiber on MR and never looked back.

6 to 7 gb for normal usage. Depend on area I guess. I using Singtel. Some area very slow.

Lol, I was thinking of using mobile broadband out of convenience! It seems like a hassle to look for rooms with wifi nowadays. Or, I am just inexperienced in accommodation hunting!

Given all that you have mentioned here, I think I will stick to to wifi for now.

I see! I wouldn't know what package to go for should I opt to have something like this! A 2-year plan seems a bit much in my opinion.

or u can check your corporate mobile plans?
with my previous company, i pay S$7 to add 3G data and my monthly quota is 30GB. Cannot use finish one. At most i use 1gb a month only. haha.
my ex company got bargaining power with singtel. thats why can get 30gb.
