Hi Huiyin,

You are going to apply the EPass by yourself? Your company is not applying it for you?

Oh, What @aLertz meant was when you are going through Singapore Customs is it when using the approved EP to get in to Singapore? Is my first time working in Singapore too, need to get many plannings done. Have you gotten a place to rent?

I'd personally recommend Singtel but M1 and Starhub are fine too. I believe all telcos offer a 2 year contract with 2GB of data if memory serves.

As for accommodation, how much are you prepared to dish out for rent? I would imagine the rentals for accommodation in the vicinity of Tanjong Pagar to be quite expensive!
*
Thanks for your recommendation studyboy. I will take a look at Singtel and Starhub packages to see which one more suitable.

I am actually hoping for about $700-800 for the rental in a good area. Does not have to be too close to Tanjong Pagar, as long it is close to the east west MRT should be alright. Do you have any recommendations?

I checked my EP status online still no record too although I gave all information to HR last week already.

Hey all. I am thinking on an offer to work in SG from Feb next year onward.
Company is MNC and I think career progression should be good, will never know for real until I start there.

For those working in SG, do you think 4 - 4.5k enough for a 24 yrs old, single and not the type to really splurge, as I want to save some money to bring back Malaysia.

Plus, will be working in Shenton Way, where to stay ya?

Thank you!
*
4-4.5k is good enough already. If you dun splurge I think U will definitely save more than 1k. Which company in Shenton Way? I will be working around there too. Still finding place to stay while waiting for EP to be approved.

Guys, I would like to go for gym in Singapore. Currently I have a celebrity fitness membership and I am wondering whether it's worth changing to to international membership at RM199, or is there better and cheaper gym in singapore ? Is the Delta Clubfitt in Tiong Bahru good ? Per entry is like $2.50 that's pretty cheap ..

Degree from Malaysia, INTI International University to be exact. According to my senior, their starting pay is about 2.7k in Singapore.

Bro, in my opinion, try nego with them to get 2.5k .. With your degree, you should be getting 2.5-2.8k .. They low balling your pay .. Just nego with them and see what they respond ..

I have to ask this since it has become a huge bother to me.

I normally eat at hawker center to safe money. I notice rice here taste different, like old rice or something. Its the same taste be it at different hawker centers.
Am I hallucinating or you guys feel the same too?

Regardless, at restaurants(e.g. KFC), the rice taste OK.
*
Bro, I eat zap fan everyday. It taste the same LOL! If it bothers u, buy a small rice cooker and cook ur own rice lo .. But overall cost might be more expensive, as long it does not give u tummy ache, I suggest u to just accept the taste. Haha.
