Enjoy most of my working time in SG so far... Good food, Good colleagues and new friends. The only thing that I don't really like is the crowded MRT during the peak hours. =.="

i prefer UOB or ocbc360 over DBS or POSB .

reason . DBS / POSB always long Q!

OCBC360 give interest when u received ur paycheck monthly.

Hi, there dear lowyat friends. I'm wondering are there any jobs such as accountant and audit. I heard auditors need better qualification, and as for account less stringent. Going to Singapore next month to get a job. Din't know if i can get hired though worked for a year in an audit firm. My qualification was only advance diploma. Sure was worried not even getting minimum pay haha.

try all the audit firm, from big to small .

try big4 ,mid-tier and lastly small local firm.


good luck!

Does all telcos in Singapore need to be on 2 year contract with 2B? I am shocked.  shocking.gif 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.

until now , i still using singtel prepaid.

laugh.gif Iphone only cheap when you getting it with plan, most people go for $60 buck plan ( all telco roughly the same).

hi, anyone can advise on changing money back to malaysia for SGD 60,000 ?

to buy prop, to pay downpayment.....

Way i can think of

1) withdraw from bank counter, ask for big note, 60 pieces of 1000 notes, go raffles do TT.... was wondering do they accept 60k transfer ? Any problem ?

2) direct transfer from my OCBC bank account to my malaysia bank account. But dun knw the rate and total charges, been asking OCBC and malaysia bank, both oso dun knw.... Wtf

Anyone know which one is better or is there any other better way to do so ?

P/s : legal money with salary slip, savings over 5 years, with tax paid every year
*
cimb online transfer not that bad, today rate @3.02
