Hi, its an utilities room (Regent Grove condo)...

very small, around 7 feets...

480 sgd per month, no agents fee...

I'm lucky to meet a very nice house owner, who is very patient and friendly and I think there at least cost 550 and above per month rental ba.

Hi, erm...

I'm not sure whether I mess up with the test my company assign, urine test, blood test and Chest-X ray for EP is a minimum must...

There would be a form from HR specify which test you need to go through, don't worry the procedure is faster than MY government hospital...

Did you guys manage to get permanent job? Most of the jobs that I see now is contract based. Would you go for contract based jobs?

If now contract new job contract why not?
If now perm new job contract ... has to be attractive enough to give up the security lor.

For EP the health check is not require by MOM. If you are requested to do it then it's the company policy I think

Not always, I remember my EP I no need health check by MOM but my wife's EP she needed.
Similar to how some WP (I think like if you have diploma or degree) MOM will waive those "cannot get married cannot get pregnant" clause.
I'm not sure what the criteria is for whether you need or don't need health check.

If I remember correctly it is as below...cannot find the page anymore in MOM website or was it written in the IPA...cannot remember.
For EP, P1 and above, medical is optional...or probably for renewal only
P2 and below, medical is required if you have not done it for a period of time (cannot remember the period).
I know this personnally cause of the increase in salary requirement, i escaped 1 year but following year downgraded to P2
when i came, P1 was 2.5-3k...within the 1-2 years, increased to 4-4.5k

No leh nomally MOM require just blood test (for HIV) and Xray (for TB). No urine test leh. Now don't know la.

Not really leh. I think is depend on MOM. MOM will say whether you need to go for the medical check.

And any extra than HIV and TB I think is company policy.

I was required to undergo medical check up when I first started working in Sg and it wasn't needed when I moved to another company.

I just received an interview invitation on 27th evening at Changi. I have some question to ask,

1.I am from Seremban. Issit easier for me to go on my own transport, or using public transport (bus, flight, etc...)
2. Do I need a pasport, bcoz its just 1 day. Bcoz I heard there is special pass for Malaysians, if they go there just for a day.

Thats all, thank you...

ghodul Yes you most certainly need passport. Last time donkey years ago can apply for some sort of limited travel doc valid only for SG but no no more d.

1. Take KTM from Seremban to Woodlands SG in the morning, you should reach SG in the afternoon. From Woodlands to Changi you can take the MRT red line from Woodlands to City Hall, then switch to green line continue from City Hall to Changi. Book same day train tickets for night train back to Seremban to save on accomodation. Flight is possible too but it should be more expensive.

2. Definitely need a passport.

Take 168 and alight at Tampines MRT then continue by MRT is A LOT faster

Take bus from Terminal One to Sg (most buses stop at Beach Road) will take you around 5 hours.

Thanks for the swift response. I have new question.

1. The train system at Sg (MRT) is using cash, or some kind of card like Touch n Go?
2. What is the room rent rate for that place?

Most convenience is to drive down. Changi is not too difficult to go. Sg custom --> BKE --> SLE --> TPE --> Changi. Just need to stop a while at Sg Immigration LTA office to buy autopass. Then you are good to go. Bring your passport.

Does all telcos in Singapore need to be on 2 year contract with 2B? I am shocked. Usually in Malaysia, you are on 2 year contract only if the package comes with a new handphone.

I am thinking of getting a iphone 6S which costs me about RM2100 (Maxis) with contract. I have no problem signing up with them if I am still working in Malaysia. The problem is, I cannot tie up with Maxis or any Malaysian Telco, because I will be in Singapore next year (at least I plan to).

I was wondering if I should wait till I got a job in Singapore and buy the iphone there. What is the price of iphone 6S in Singapore? Any great offers from the telcos in Singapore? Cheaper than those offered in Malaysia? I am sure if we buy direct from Apple shop in Singapore, it will be expensive.

you can take one without contract but generally it's slightly more expensive on the plan compares to contract.

You should worry about getting a job first, then only you think about getting a telco plan in SG. Without work permit or EP you can't sign up for 2 year contract telco plan in SG

Starhub's plans are about $8 lower per month if you take it without the phone + contract
Not sure about Singtel and M1, i think theirs is the same with/without contract

Subsidy is in the phone, not the monthly fee which is why they want to bind you by contract
