Yes, it's rare to pay that high for fresh graduates unless you exceptionally good in a reputable uni. eg: NUS.

Just put your uncle's address in your resume unless there are two separate addresses to fill in application form - residential and current address.

thank you for your help

I don't have a car, feel is a burden for now lol.

yea, during non-peak hours, jb sg causeway could be a breeze and smooth journey but for this upcoming, i'm going during the weekdays after work time. So would like to know more in order to reach larkin in time. anyways, thanks for the heads up.

your company will inform u about the procedure but since u asked, your white card will be traded for ur E pass. So when u exit, u may need to use your E pass and a letter from MoM to grant u exit. Dont be like me, get the card, immediately exit coz haven't register finish from MoM side lol. Need to stay at ICA office but u get to visit their office, not bad afterall lol.

I would advise you to let your children to finish their SPM or STPM in KL or JB so that they wont feel lost when change to diff education system. Your children will find it hard to adapt in which will add stress to you.

Hope you take note commuting daily will cause alot sacrifice coz time is money and causes health issue in long term. Average duration to fro between jb sg custom takes about 2 hours or even more during peak hours, not inclusive of trip from jb hse to jb custom, then sg custom to workplace.

PR application is recommended after 1 year of working to increase chances of approval. Also do take note PR can only buy resale HDB and only after 3 years due to recent tightening rules to protect own citizens. If really need a shelter asap, the only choice is to get condo, could easily cost u from S$800k to millions depending the location and size.

Now is your choice, to go SG and work out a better plan, or just leave it. Most importantly you need to know whether all these transitions worth it. My 2 cents.

If u really want to come SG to work, then go coz is really hard to get a job due to strict regulation for foreigners. but first need to check the background of the company and also the job requirements, contract, etc.
If u don't mind waiting for SG job while working in msia, then just wait till u are comfortable with the job opportunity and salary given.

My friend had hard time finding a job in SG coz only have 9 months of related working experience and yet he demands higher pay and better title.
Then I just had to make him realized why would a company pay u that high if you are not that good or that much of working experience that can prove your value to the company.

So for your case, with 4 years of experience would have higher chance to get better job but no guarantee.
All the best!

PS. IMHO, comparing salary 8 years ago is irrelevant. Talk about now, and to encourage.

sorry if i have offended u but that's what i really think. and why are u saying i give sweet talk fake encouragement to comfort myself?

yes, every year there's inflation, but compare the current market esp as foreigner and not years ago coz u cant tell that to your future employer 8 years ago fresh grad get 4k, why i get lower. if th

and no condo, no car /= low quality life. it depends how u see it; objects or non-monetary value.

you have a point there. i didn't give the same advice to others, only to my friend, coz i know him well and what is his value and his wants, thus im just sharing with hihihehe. And i don't think is a bad advice coz i personally think is better to land a decent paying job first (depends on your decent definition) than just being unemployed for too long. Well, he had been unemployed for almost 6 months and didn't do any part time coz he die die want come SG to work.

I agree with the point, is a cycle, is has always been coz that's the reality and Asia is booming, esp SG.

+1
Depends on one's goal. If have patience and options, one wouldn't even accept something lower.

Yup, but don't think we so stupid request lower pay lol. Usually employer offer lower pay and the situation would be take it or leave it. Hence, "cheap FTs".

huh lol. I'm just saying if one has patience to wait (of course if you have the right skills and values) for better offers then having the options to choose comparing the pros and cons besides salary amount, that person wouldn't go for a lower paid job but doesn't mean not is not decently paid, just not up to expected.

no, i'm not talking anything about reverse psychology lol

Just renounce PR lur. Problem solved. Rules wont be made to disallow renounced PR from taking back their CPF coz what's the point? By doing that, there wont be more future PR, hence affecting their economy

Nope. Most Malaysians don't really speak the same accent as them unless that person is educated in SG. Period.

yup..the accent is very similar, if that person really has a good ear can differentiate the two accents. Only 1 or 2 times I was asked whether I'm from Msia. For Mandarin accent more distinct though.

i feel is more hygienic

what's wrong with having other person scooping your fav dish lol.

ok lur, then u eat chap fan when back msia, in sg u eat other food lol
