Hi all,

Just finish my 2nd iv around 12pm. The boss said to me that will proceed my hiring process after I manage to secure an accomodation in sg.

My working location would be at Changi South Lane. Could yoy guys suggest me a good place to rent around that area. My budget is around 600 SGD/mth...

Thanks...

Something wrong here. You can't rent any long term accommodation without proper immigration status (i.e., you need to get a work permit of some sort, otherwise you're not allowed to rent room or hdb). So your hiring formalities including application of the work permit must be done first.

Will get back to the HR on this. I think my future boss just wanted my commitment to stay sg. Not janji kosong then stay at JB...

I just emailed my HR regarding issue above. Below are her reply,

Any comment guys?

So that means HR will proceed with your application anyway since there's nothing a landlord will give you to show you have "booked" a place to stay

Btw without your work pass approval your landlord wont be able to register you as a tenant
This means they wont "book" the place for your either

I suggest after a couple of weeks just tell your employer you found a place at XXX to rent and then chase them for the work pass

hi guys,
how do they calculate the tax in sg ?
same like msia ? below 4k no need tax ? hahaha

Hi all, could you help me with a query? I found my current accommodation through an estate agent and the lease will end on 31st December.

Given that I don't intend to renew the lease, am I required to inform the landlord, the agent or both parties and when should I inform them?

Thanks in advance!

Common sense pls. Read the signed agreement. Courtesy says u inform the landlord a month or 2 before lease ends, so they can begin search for a replacement.
This kind of thing still need to ask?

Bullcrap.

Driving in Singapore is a bloody breeze compared to the sh&ate jams and mat rempits in Malaysia. Do you even live in Singapore?

honestly other than speeding there is nothing I enjoy driving in Malaysia...

... and I just checked-in my car into the service center this morning, some warning lights on my dash after I ran through a pothole at high speed at Tebrau over the weekend.

Just ignore him la , never really experience driving in SG but exaggerating on the incompetence .

Typical sour grape syndrome

Does that jealous idiot even stay in Singapore? Doubt it.

A lot of my Singaporean friends who ones nice cars love driving in Malaysia, only on NSHW. I have a friend who chalked up over RM5,000 of traffic summons (mostly speeding...), no intention to pay he said he is going to buy a new car plate if PDRM is really going after him.

As much as I strongly detest speeding of any form in any country, there are still some people who "loves" driving in Malaysia for whatever reason.

If you like speeding, naturally a long and expansive highway is great.

To state that there are traffic lights for every 100 metres is pure baloney and smacks of jealousy of Singapore's first world infrastructure.

one of my colleague also rammed thru one, at Tebrau as well. Car total lost, engine cracked. But ok, just an Alfa Romeo.

Nothing of this sort was stated in the contract hence the question! Thanks for your reply though. I asked 'this kind of thing' because I have no experience in it and would appreciate confirmation from the more experienced lot of you out there. However, I do wish that you could frame your reply in a more tactful manner.

After waiting for 2 weeks to advertise in SG job bank, my EP application is approved today. Applied on 30/10, so I am very happy with the efficiency.

Back home at my state we drive 4WD in our pathetic mud road, ran through pothole no problem. Should try it one day.

SG drivers are awful. They bang into my old car twice side and back since I come here. So pity those little Japanese car after they whack into a German car. Crumple like Kancil. Lucky the driver and passenger still alive so we can claim insurance from them. Bought a bigger German car to make sure they won't survive the next time they anyhow cut lane.

You don't fit the typical profile of a LYN forummer in the "working in Singapore" thread i.e. someone who is either fresh on board in Singapore or is still in the early stages of their careers. I suppose you are married to a wealthy man and you come from a well to do family yourself.
