quite good leh. 4 to 4.5k.

anywhere near to office 

SG is "Sterilized Asia." The only place that qualifies as 'dodgy' is probably only Geylang. Other than that, your choices are between Mature estates (with older, pricier accommodation and a lot of facilities like eateries, malls, town centers, etc), and new estates (newer, cheaper accommodation but sacrifice on convenience).

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.

toa payoh, tiong bahru, commonwealth, queenstown are decent places.

You sure they will pay your cpf portion if you not pr? Most companies don't do that

imho go for SG offer.

Hello, still primary school? Can't decide your own future?

Your mileage may varies, all I want to say.

Do all companies pay CPF for non PR staff? More specifically, do accounting firms do that?

The CPF portion would help so much in terms of rental.

PR PMEs get higher monthly income than Singapore citizens: Manpower Minister

SINGAPORE: The gross monthly income of full-timed employed residents who are professionals, managers and executives (PMEs) is higher compared to Singaporean citizens, said Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin in Parliament on Monday (Jan 19).

"As compared to Singaporean PMEs, the gross monthly income of resident PMEs is higher since Permanent Residents typically have to display good employability before they are granted residency," Mr Tan said, in reply to a Parliamentary question from MP Patrick Tay Teck Guan.

For instance, the gross monthly income for PRs and Singapore citizens for the 50th percentile is S$7,018 and S$6,886, respectively, according to data from the Manpower Ministry.

Hi guys, i am going to drive home to penang for the coming CNY. I am taking leave on 18th (Wed). If i start driving on 17th night, what would be a good time to start the journey? am thinking of 12 midnight to avoid the jam.

Anywhere on green line or red line within ~10 mrt stops will be good.
Go for stops with (relatively) big town centers, example Bedok, Tiong Bahru, Toa Payoh, Ang mo kio.
PM MacKiddo or Lester1987 to be added to the malaysians in SG whatsapp support group for more immediate answers to questions.

DHL and FeDex. I think DHL do home pickup also.

I am looking for more info as I am looking for jobs to work in Singapore recently and I am glad that thread like this existed and help those of us who have lots of unanswered question in our mind. Kudos to all the seniors for keeping this thread alive.

Having asking most ppl in KL without any knowledge or experience working in Singapore is like a nightmare as 1 would tell you it's good to head to SG and then you have the rest 10 ppl telling you how bad it is to work in SG, this lar, that lar.

I want to ask how long would one takes to pass the immigration dept queue from JB to SG using 1)bus or 2)bike.

What is the best time to reach JB customs to start queueing? Any difference between CIQ and Tuas checkpoint?

Thanks.
