If they think you don't qualify for EP, they will change you to S-Pass automatically. If your company still have the quota then you are ok.

I guess so too. Even the form that I am filling in is the EP / SP Application Form. Yeap keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi all,

I just want to ask how hard it is with the current situation to secure a chemical engineering job in SG as a fresh grad?

did anyone successfully converted to singaporean recently ?

Den may I know how to qualify for EP?

Pay is not really the main factor.

Your degree, the uni you graduated from, you age, your industry and job matters more.

I know friend who got 2k (which is less than S-Pass requiremnt of 2.2k) pay secured an E Pass

Sorry ya.. actually is there really a big difference between E pass and S pass?

yes, every year got around 20k of them.

got people say E pass is a better stepping stone to PR application compare to S pass.

other than that, the only diffence is that company no nid to pay levy for E pass holder, but nid to pay for S pass.
and E pass has no quota restriction, while S pass has..
so in short , company prefer to hire Epass holder than Spass.

But company still more prefer to hire PR/Singaporean as that will let them hire more WP/S Pass.

hmm..if paying same price for both, and both shown similar capability, no doubt they wlll go for PR/Spn instead of pass holder.

as for becuz of quota..i feel like more becuz the HR feel troublesome to apply pass for foreigner...lol

Ok what, should be that way, this is 1Singapore version Rakyat Didahulukan. How I wish my gahmen do what they said, SG gahmen no say but got do. 1Singapore! Tomorrow 3am go ICA queue 1st place apply pink IC already.

hi guys, anyone know if there is anything we need to declare or any required procedures we need to settle with LHDN when we decide to move to singapore for work?

There's some borang, CP21 if i remember correctly, which you get your malaysia company to issue then you take to LHDN to close off your tax file.

Or just don't give a crap and every year file zero income also ok geh.

Piping engineer. At first I thought this is another fancy term for plumber.

You wanna convert?

Anyone got their PR approved recently? What's the average processing time for Malaysian nowadays..

though standard is around 6 months?

haha..fair enough la..don't see a problem on that..
u wanna change to pink IC? though those high earning coupe in S'pore will normally remain 1 M'sia IC in order to hold properties in Msia..

I'm actually hopping for 4 months coz I know some people that managed to get theirs within that time frame.. just no sure how common it is or maybe just for a few exceptional case..
