Anyone know whether we still can access our internet banking account for dbs/posb when we're overseas? Does the iB Secure device still works overseas?

Haven't bring it out of SG even once. Going to... Wondering

Eh thought you already working here d

I still don't know the concept behind it. Nvm, thanks for the input!

Ya that one I know. But not so sure also... On roaming can receive?

Too "secured" also susah

Now my M'sia ebanking account sms send to my old phone left at hometown. Quite troublesom when want to use



Btw... Countdown at Vivocity (Harbourfront) really so disappointing. I thought so many ppl there should've something nice to see. Should've gone to Marina Bay/Raffles Place last night

If get PE in SG d can practice in MY. Experience wise I tak tau

Tak tau. I baru 4 months working, nothing is too detailed in the websites actually. Have to call them and ask perhaps.

I haven't register BEM haha... See when I can get it registered.

I tak tau~~

But ain't that what washington accord is doing? Let PE in countries which signed that accord to work in other countries which signed. Not so sure. Maybe can't sign off.

You're on PR or Work pass (S Pass/EP...)

I doubt you can take on other jobs if you're here with work pass.

I stay right near Joo Chiat. Yeah really a lot... But to be frank. They're everywhere. Food courts, any food stalls, any type of shops... Even Indian shop/mamak shop also hire them. They're really virtually everywhere. Just not much into professional career, more towards non-skilled job like restaurant helper/construction worker.

But M'sia and Singapore neighbour neighbour mahh

Any suggestion on remittance service? I don't have CIMB account in MY otherwise I can just open one here and transfer back without extra charge (lower rate though).

Don't feel safe carrying that amount of cash back M'sia. Any trusted remittance service around?

10SGD Then probably should go for CIMB.


Anyone here is using remittance instead of cash? Safe to use?


Worried about carrying money back in cash, worried about kena con when changing money (in cash), also worried about kena con by remittance. So much worries

Just started working for 4 months can get 20k? 5k per month? I not so "elite" lo

Ya but i probably transfer just 1000~2000 each time. If that's the case, 10SGD = ~RM26, CIMB rate can be RM0.026 lower if I transfer 1000SGD yet still getting the same amount or can be RM0.013 lower if I transfer 2000SGD.

And it's done through bank so most probably safe. Yesterday when rate goes up to 2.65 I saw someone post on FB cimb giving 2.64XX.

So if that's the case probably I should consider opening CIMB account



Btw... They always use Raffles?

But very hard la... All colleagues from different different place. Mostly from West M'sia so they just bring cash home.

I think need login then click transfer there to see. That's the page I see people post.

Good share!

But... After 2015 how? Transfer all money back to POSB and close Maybank SG account? haha

Er... Two days ago, 2.647 something. I also see people post one, I don't have CIMB account whether in SG/MY.

Not better rate but it's definitely safer right?

No transaction charge, just the conversion rate lower than money changer by a bit. Money transfer instantaneously also from SG to MY account. No need to go through 3rd party and no need to carry any form of cash.

Anyone using CIMB can comment?

You'll become PR as soon as you reach here?

Work pass holder no need to pay CPF one wor (~EPF in M'sia).

Btw... RM15k to SG10k is -50% d. That's quite a lot actually. From what I read before, normal case is just around 20% lower (RM10k become 8kSGD).

Anyway... 10k SGD Really elite!

You're transferring from M'sia to SG?

I'm not sure but some people said that.


As for me, I just started, haven't even touch the 3k bracket. Nothing much I know about those high income bracket thingy


For my level, yes it's possible to get even same salary as in M'sia. Or just 10~20% lower. For you all the high income group I not sure. I definitely save more than working in MY though. Considering that I don't and is impossible to buy a SG car but if work in M'sia sure need buy car.

Anyone use CIMB Speedsend before?

Today saw the rate at their Currency Exchange Counter.

Cash RM2.615 only but "Speedsend" 2.661. Asked about the charges the lady said around $5 for 2000 (not sure how true). But then... Suddenly system down, I want send money home also can't

If got CIMB M'sia account, instant transfer. Other banks take few days according to the counter staff.

Why not bring both to office straight cook in office finish makan only come back




Btw... Anyone got any rooms near green line towards the central to recommend arh... Budget only 650 and below.


Last time still ok... This time find room arh... Only discovered that 650 want get decent room not so easy eh... Most rooms simply higher than 650 easily 750 d. Just start work cannot afford so expensive one

Also many rooms only meant for Female Good deals many for female only

550 in fact is good deal!

Now got one room, 2km from nearest MRT but can take bus to MRT, middle of EW line. 650 aircond wifi. Another nearer to MRT but also $650 still not sure got wifi/ac or not

Aircond still ok... Got aircond also I on 1-2 hours only each day. Only sometimes sleep till forgot to off then very cold wake up off

In fact I care more about WiFi

Other rooms near Tiong Bahru, Redhill, Clementi etc want find 650 without AC also hard. Seriously expensive

600-700 got what?

Actually after going through the room rental sites, I almost come to think that... Places near East coast (eunos/bedok/paya lebar etc) actually easily as expensive as those towards the West (clementi, redhill, tiong bahru etc)... It's like on average, Singapore room rental is already at that level

Unless go up north maybe can get 450 500 like that. Towards the south all so bloody expensive
