first time i heard ppl like to drive in sg

When every small strech of road is another traffic light

why not? l luv to drive. Reach work place in just 20mins,. Going for midnight snack also convinience .

All the above is just about $. weaklings ....

I drive a lot in SG. Trust me, those roads are so much easier to navigate. Signs are pointing to the correct direction unlike in M'sia. Other drivers are civilize when driving - give proper signal, don't simply merge into you lane, stop when lights turn yellow....The only dislike are the expressways where the speed limit is 90 kmph. Some stretch only 80 kmph

Which is why when most S'porean drive in M'sian highway they like to speed because such 'freedom' can't be obtained in S'pore

Where to apply

I wouldn't mind a little time to rest and relax in the army

after encountering every single traffic lights per 100m of roads, I not sure whether you still like to drive in SG.

These people sure have low adaptability. Then again, it is not easy to get accustomed to life in Singapore.

I detest driving in KL too! KL drivers can be inconsiderate, uncultured, impatient...the list goes on.

bro, i feel u

singapore is the worst place to drive, term of its natural constrain

Was driving in kl last weekend and realized I just spent 2 hours in a jam... on a Sat afternoon. Huge waste of time. How do those ppl live like that?

Lol u all damn look down on ppl tht stay in msia lor. Malaysias lifestyle is not suited for everyone, and neither is singapores hyper competitive lifestyle. Great if you can adapt, but if you cant just move on la. Why suffer and be unhappy.

I rly dont consider it as being wasted, and reeks of some kind of superiority complex.

Hi Everyone,
I've been lurking here for a while and I found the inputs here quite useful, so I just wanted to say hi. I'm looking to relocate sometime next year and planning to share a flat with some of my colleagues. Hope to be in touch further as my relocation plan firms up.

For those having questions on CP21, here is my experience:

If your company knows that you are leaving Malaysia, they will withhold your last month pay and issue CP21 for you to submit to IRB with your last income tax return for the current year. Make sure that all your past income tax return has been submitted too. IRB may then ask for audit. (The IRB tax officer said she wanted to audit me, but in the end I didn't get any audit letter lol). After they are satisfied, they will issue you with a tax clearance letter, of which you will give a copy to your ex-company's HR so that they can release your last pay. With this tax clearance, you don't need to worry about filling Malaysia income tax until one day when you return to work in Malaysia.

If you did not do the whole process above, then you will need to file Malaysian income tax every year (put as nil).

Fyi, the legal way is actually the first one above.

Super exaggerating , can take highway what no now ask you to take trunk roads all the way.

Boring part is you can't really speed , as your license is seriously on stake, max 90km/h .

Thanks for your sharing. Any idea if the procedure also applies if I'm just moving from the Malaysian branch of my company to the Singaporean one?

We're not looking down, it's just natural that people who prefer SG to have opinions that are sided towards SG
Just like how those people who moved back to MY have good opinions of MY and bad ones of SG

Just that when you complain about things like small house, can't afford car, nothing to do on weekends...what is the real thing you are complaining about?
Smart people can look beyond the words to understand what the real message is

Those who easily accustomed with the life style in SG mainly are :

1) Started Young - right after graduate -> adaptability still very high , expectation still low
or
2) With very good experience and profile , get a Dollar to Dollar package , or an expat package -> Then your life style definite no change
or
3) Internal transfer (usually) this group's transition have very little effect on the life style. Company culture the same , initial settling down supported by company

Else have to bare abit( 6 month - 1 year to settle down ) eventually most of foreigners in SG made it through.

Those who return basically because of :
- Freedom due to $ (limited spending , room sharing )
- Home sick

So for those who have been working for years have to really weight your career path back in home country vs capable generating savings in SGD.

But there's also others who came because of other factor :
- second generation (education and growth)
- safety ( human/physical , food*)
- Unsatisfied in home country due to lifestyle , gov administration, culture etc..

*you'll be amazed some PRC (even rich ones) , feels is more secure to consume meals in SG than back in China

Still applies as long as you're filing Malaysian income tax returns.

White collar ones that I know ( especially ones without car ) : Changi are likely their weekend spot .

For SME - consumer business still feel that MY is a better place , but business that ties to gov contracts SG is a better place , needless to say business that will grow big SG still a better place .
