I hold 3 jobs. Hard to survive in SG with one job. Have to manage your jobs efficiently and in good terms with your companies. Your boss sure know you doing work outside. If your bosses don't complain to MOM, they seldom come and catch you. Unless you post in forums like scare no people know like that.

Then you need to watch this clip by MOM Singapore. It's worth your time.



I am abit different from you, I run my business (have proper office) while working for a full time job since MOM did not specifically mention you cant own a business together with a full-time job.

What you guys think about the proposal to build the kra isthmus canal?

It's all bullshit.

Technically is feasible
Economically is feasible
Politically is not feasible
Socially is not feasible

I guess, it won't be materialise.

1st complain got no car, then complain car cannot simply park?
I don't like that I can't park my aeroplane anywhere too, doesn't matter that I don't have one to begin with, just want to complain  thumbup.gif
I read this as - not capable enough to be competitive in SG

I think they are 2 groups here.
1st group driving everyday from JB to SG
2nd group, used to drive in MY but stay in SG without own transport.

You mean in Singapore, agents flock customers like vulture?  ohmy.gif

The scene is very different compare to MY. Back here, I need to ask around friends to recommend an agent.

Maybe you do not have any agent friends around you.

In malaysia, i got calls and whatsapp asking me when am I free to meet up for a drink from those agent friends whenever I am in KL.

The moment I knew their intention of asking me out for drink is to sell me insurance, I gave them bullcrap.

typical la.. Chinaman company love to import msian FT.. as they look same same as Sinkie, speak like them summore but only 1/4 of the cost. Doesn't complain, takes on more responsibility, not lazy.. Ofcoz who dowan?

I think depends on his experience and career progression la.. if don't mind to kena exploited by Singaporean Chinaman, in exchange for learning on the job, I'd say take it.. the experience is invaluable and worthwhile. Can apply for better job after a few years.

I.E. me.. kena exploit by my Sinkie chinaman company kau kau... end of year, flip them the middle finger jump at better offer/reputable position.

How do you kena exploited?

You can always jump ship or return to KL for a greener grass.
