QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Apr 23 2015, 07:21 PM) I work there, stay 30 minutes drive away. That is one of the most expensive place to work. You sure you did not get scam with the salary? The office there all rich rich one. and all the kuli like me work in Jurong. Makan at cafeteria only. Chapfan 1 fish + 1 meat + 1 vege S$2.20 . Syukur gaji s$2k/month still can cope.One meal will cost you 8 to 10 bucks unless you walk far far away or pack your lunch from home. Cab will cost more because of ERP and city surcharge, if you can get one during the peak hours. This post has been edited by Mackiddo: Apr 23 2015, 07:31 PM |

QUOTE(arslow @ Apr 27 2015, 10:08 PM) Living cost will be a 1000 for a single person if you are the kind of person who has to eat expensive food and spends a lot on entertainment. I got this from reddit, you can use it as a rough guide... $1000 for expensive food? You must be kidding, that's just s$30/day. What 'expensive' food you can get? |

QUOTE(arslow @ Apr 27 2015, 10:28 PM) your definition of expensive and mine are obviously different you are absolutely right. The term 'expensive' is very subjective. For some like deodorant, the term 'expensive' does not exist in his vocalbulary. |

QUOTE(JasmineKeer @ Apr 28 2015, 10:37 AM) Hello everyone! How much do you value your time? If not much then stay in JB and drive Malaysia car to work. Else, stay in Sg and drive a Sg car.I have a dilemma here. I couldn't decide which Singapore or Malaysia used car to buy and start my journey as Sales Engineer in Tuas, Singapore. I have a few options came into my mind... 1. Stay in Singapore and buy a Singapore used car to drive? PARF or COE car?? 2. Stay in JB and buy a Malaysia used car travel in and out everyday through 2nd link? 3. Any more option? (Please specify) Which one is more cost effective? By the way, my new employer is giving me $500 car allowance and $350 petrol allowance. Best Regards, Jasmine |

But they need to OT to get to 3k. Money is there to be earned. Just whether you have the capacity to earn it only  PS: I'm still earning much less than 3k anyway  |

QUOTE(Humanoid @ May 1 2015, 01:58 AM) so lets say if I am looking a room, booked appointment with agent/owner, if confirm I need to pay deposit on the spot? or pay all amount? or can pay half half? not a small amount if after conversion. I dun think booking will work. Its more like first come first serve basis. You can view what ever the agent have on that day itself. Confirm already pay agent fees, deposit & rental. Sign agreement. If you are not decisive, there's always other ppl waiting.need how long for all the procedure? is it before I go Singapore already need to inform the owner/agent so I can view on the spot when I reach SG, they already prepared the doc?

QUOTE(Issacliew789 @ May 9 2015, 05:17 PM) Usually how much it cost for the polyclinics in singapore where you are a permit holder？？？ why would you wanna go polyclinics and endure the long queue? As a permit holder, I don't think you are entitle to any subsidize by the government, hence making the cost same as normal GP, which have shorter queue. |

Two simple choices.By left, you sendiri decide lo want to declare or not. 1. Declare and ask for waiver. If not given and you apply PR, they will sure check coz you already provide them the details. 2. Don't declare. You may be prosecute to the full extent of the law if the Gov find out. (on how they gonna find out, that's for another discussion  )This post has been edited by Mackiddo: May 10 2015, 09:16 PM |
