You sound like the type that agree "Orang gila saja tak faham kebaikan Ringgit jatuh" thumbup.gif
Even if prices remain the same, you think just because you're richer by 66% you can retire by 35?

any of you guys encounter this during ur job application.
my friend got job offered in sg as engineer.
back in interview stage..expected salary he put 2.5k.At the end of the day, the company offered him somewhere near 3k. he told me Sg got benchmark salary range, so never worried that they gonna low baller u ?
Is that true ?
*
Some will and some wont
Just put your real expected and you wont need to worry about things like that

Did your friend put 2.5k on purpose thinking it would be easier for him to get the job?

yeah lol..he did that on purpose..thinking of getting into Sg first.
he asked me to use the same trick lol..since will got benchmark also yawn.gif
dilemma lol..dn know how
*
Don't do that man....think of it properly
Companies that will offer you higher than what you ask, do you think they will consider you more just because your asking is lower?
On the other hand there are companies which will low ball you no matter what you ask, if you put 2.5k for a 3k job they will try to offer you 2k first. Then you put yourself in a tough position

Just put what you really expect, but make sure what you're expecting is reasonable of course

PR parents don't want their son to join NS so did not apply for him. Maybe suddenly give birth during holiday in SG. Maybe parents also EP then give birth here.

I see, when i hear born in SG i automatically think he's raised and educated in SG too

Born, raised and educated here oso doesn't mean PR or Citizen what. All those expat angmoh on s$300k package before housing and international school benefits for their kids as if they will bother with sinkie blue NRIC.

Yeah not 100% but I'd be extremely surprised if you spent 20 years in Singapore and still they reject your PR application
Whats the point letting you study and work for 20 years if you don't want that person being a resident (Epass holder not work pass)

My parents used to live and work in SG for 10 years.. they born us here but registered as Msian citizen since the start. I have both Msian and SG birth certs. lol.

But I only stay at SG for 2 years then 20+ years in KL and then furthered my study overseas.. So im hardly what you can consider as Singaporean. Only this year I've come and work here. Applied PR two months ago, kena reject..
Anyways, word of advice for others who want their Sons to escape NS, go and register them as Msian citizen from the start..
*
In that case I think the fact you're merely born in SG is not a factor at all
And with 6 months work experience, from what I've heard its a very high chance you'll get rejected unlike 5-6 years ago

I'm planning to wait 1 year at least

What I did was current RM salary convert to SGD and compare with SG company offer

Looks silly calculation but can't compare dollar to dollar.
*
That's quite crazy...if you consider that to be equal pay then wont have any problem getting a "good" offer in Singapore man

Like if you're earning RM6k in Malaysia, SGD2.5k would be an increment already sweat.gif

Mine a little bigger coz mechanical keyboard
So the box is huge
Maybe will try stuffing in a smaller box coz scared damage

Lol

I'm using a CM Storm but its TKL so not too big
My point was that the box is usually not much bigger than the keyboard itself, at least all the boards I've used before

If on skill then you just have to show that you're more skilled compared to the Singaporean applying lor
Same even if you look for a job in Malaysia, just that it's more competitive

In your 1 year of banking experience are you one of the top performers?

Hi

Without considering performance as a factor, is it true to say msians stand a lesser chance or even may not get promoted as comapared to a singaporean?
