I go out meeting client all the time, if just me shouldn't be problem but sometime to fetch them to site is kinda tedious.


Why? is there anything wrong with my question?

I called up LTA customer service. They told me if the resident address in my EP is a Singapore address, I am considered a resident in Singapore and I can't drive a Malaysia car into Singapore. For my case, MOM did not even ask me what's my resident address, they automatically put my company's address (a singapore address) on my EP.

Is the LTA customer service telling me the right thing? Do the immigration check my EP address?

Most probably its not that MOM didn't ask you, but your company didn't ask you when they submit details to MOM

EP holder can drive Malaysian car into Singapore, no issue... my engineer holding an EP drives into Singapore everyday.
But from my understanding, as a work pass holder your MY car must not stay more than 18 hours per day in Singapore.
Meaning you cannot drive your car in on Monday, drive out on Friday... you have to drive out of Singapore everyday.

If you have friends and resources, you can do similar like my engineer... offer car pool service pickup passengers every morning near his house, ferry them into Singapore drop them at MRT station. He charges RM30 per passenger per day (2-way trip to and fro), that is enough to cover your daily S$35 VEP fee.

Only PR and Singaporean citizen cannot drive a non-SG car plate in Singapore.

Resident address in SG means staying in SG lor so definitely will exceed 18 hours

Tourist : drive in for 30 days no problem as long you pay for the remaining 10 days .

EP/WP : Foreign car drive in and out daily ( 18 hours cap ).

EP/WP ( staying in SG ) : buy SG car else take public transport

PR / SGrian : only can drive SG car plate

can i know if your enginner's EP Resident Address is in SG or Msia?

Just a comment, when you say 'no issue,' do try and clarify if it's 'no issue and the law allows it' or 'actually the law doesn't allow but for this case the police / immigration / LTA / whatever don't enforce.'

Cos in the latter you never know one day somebody takes your advice and LTA suddenly starts to enforce lol.

Well, that pretty sums it up right? Sg residence, no driving of non-sg registered car for you.
Driving a non-sg registered car in sg when you are not allow to, is a serious offence, Looking at sgd$5k fine maybe?
But, hell yeah, LTA never check, just do it.

Good question, should be JB address as he stays in JB. But he rented a room in Singapore a year ago yet he still drives to work every Friday.

If driving an MY-registered car is a requirement why not request MOM to update the residential address to MY?

Public transport is so convenience in SG. Why need a car? Need to waste effort to drive, need to fight with people on the road, need to fight for parking like siao lang. Petrol, parking, ERP can easily eat up 1k+ per month. Wow that is few k rm that can feed an entire family that just go down the drain every month with a car. Take cab cheaper, now with Uber Grabtaxi some more so easy just press press can reach destiny already.

just stand at road side flag cab, flag the comfort delgro mercs cab and sit like a boss. Other than Tuas, i think other place quite easy to get cab.

Jurong Island as well. You are right, even when you called the cab hotline to ask for one, most cab won't even bother to drive all the way to these places. Consider very 'ulu' to them

Hi,

I am new to Singapore and currently staying somewhere along Jln Jurong Kechil.
I wish to look for a basketball court.

Although I found one at Bukit Timah community park but normally i don't see people playing there.
Or is there any basketball group that can welcome outsider like me?

Thanks.

You can try if you like, from what i see so far LTA doesnt enforce this yet. The rule are there but they are not pressing it. But it is easy to enforce as you cross the border with EP yet your vehicle obviously overstay.

You may try to purchase a HDB season parking, the system only allow Malaysian registered vehicle to park from 7am to 1030pm while Singaporean regiestered vehicle it is whole day. Why?

Same reason why they have the 18 hour limit
They don't want people staying in SG to drive MY cars

I thought its possible to drive in MY car everyday (for non-resident), or even park here for 14 days? They charge you accordingly per day 30 sgd only, to be consistent with what local car have paid for the COE.

You all talking how to avoid VEP and drive in FOC?

The system is invented by the top brains of Singapore to make the road smooth la. Let so many foreign car driven by FT brain come in FOC you think the local don't KPKB?

Ferrari's loophole is not your average Toyota/Honda/Perodua loophole.

Yupp thats right

Hi All,

I have a question for you guys. How did you guys manage to secure a job in Singapore? Mostly using agent, or directly hired by the company?

direct wrote in to apply.
