Another one here, based in SG, alternate week in SG and MY. When in MY I work at my home. Kind of tired flying every week though. Not lucky, worked hard to get into this position. Lower pay than my peers but more time with family so its ok.

I just got a new job offer, but still unsure of whether to accept it or not..
permanent position with an MNC with about 15% increment from my current salary. However there's no 13 month bonus and the place seems understaffed at the moment..

If I were to join the new co, will my current employer knows when they apply for my new pass??
I dont really feel like telling my current co that i'm joining another firm, and was thinking of saying that i want to go back to malaysia first to take some time off..

Company name?

Guys, out of topic. I'm planning to apply credit card in Singapore. I will be having appointment for the PR application on 30th January. So by February I should be able to get the PR. Which credit card is hotcake right now? Mainly for cashback, petrol subsidize not required. Anyone has any experience on this? Thanks. notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

UOB One card for cash rebate, about 3% and some % for oversea transactions. For other cards, you can apply them, get the freebies, cancel them before expiry date, wait for sometime and redo the process for new freebies.

You can register with BEM even without any working experience as long as you've received your degree cert. but that's for Graduate Engineer registration.
For Professional Engineer aka IR, you'll need at least 1 year of local experience before you can register. That's the case the last time I checked with them, but that was quite some time ago..

I see thanks. Need to contact them soon.

There is no entry permit. When you are completing the formality you are in sg, you already permitted to enter with your ep. No?

There is. I dig back all my PDF's in documents etc and found it. When completing formalities you are issued with "FORM 5A ENTRY PERMIT" as well as an REP. I guess the Entry Permit is issued to represent the date you "entered" singapore as a PR? No idea. hmm.gif

Hi,

I would like to apply for Singapore PR. However I notice that the e-appointment is fully booked till July 2015?

Do I really have to wait that long? Or is there any other way?

Like drop in the form in the ICA building.

Thanks for any feedback.
*
There is a box outside ica. If you drop it there they will assign the available slot they have to you and not your prefer slot. Since filly book that maybe your only choice.
