Hey guys,

1. For those of you already now working in Singapore, I know that you need to file your tax returns in Singapore, right?  Then what do you do with your Malaysian tax return? I am sure the LHDN still post it to you every year. Do you declare "nil" or what?

2. How do you transmit your money back to your Malaysian bank account? Say, you open a Maybank account in Singapore, can you go to the ATM machine and just transmit it over? Or, do you still need to go to bank counter and apply to do a TT (telegraphic transfer) to your Malaysian account?

I am new to going to Sgp to work. I appreciate if anyone of you already working in Sgp can help.

Hi Darren,

1) Just to help abit, I have been submitting 0 zero income in Malaysia LDHN, but if you have property and have rental income, need to declare i heard is subject to 25% tax of the rental income.

2) you can open a cimb sg account, it provide free transfer fee back to CIMB MY account,  all done through online. rate might be lower or higher than the money exchange shop outside, need to compare. but that's one of the channels.

hope it helps above

Constantly apply to the accounting firms until one of them answers back. Do so preferably during their hiring period (please see their websites for the peak hiring periods/intakes)

Go meet new friends ???

I read few pages back, by internal transfer

Especially them brown skins wan

Very many

Already packed like sardines in the mrt to Lapland

everywhere u go, there will be ppl who are aggressive in the rat race or deeply involved in office politics
whether u wan to join them or ignore them....it is up to you.
furthermore, why would you be worried abt competing, especially against singaporeans?
there is a reason why singaporeans are raising an issue against hiring FT...THERE IS TOO MANY OF THEM (us included    )

Speak for yourself. Lots of us here come to Singapore on a competitive wage, not "my skills are crap so you pay me less than a sinkie I oso happy" nonsense.

Depend on how you negotiate la..some malaysian can match dollar to dollar term in Sg but some willing to slash their remuneration by 30-40% because they always benchmark against myr.

Lol!!

This is the most ridiculous thing I've read in LYN.. ever

Indian expats being compared to european counterparts... Lol! Dude, stop making me laugh at my desk. My colleagues are staring at me wondering what's so funny.

unfortunately, the ones that we meet....most are   
they may be good, too good....in overselling what they can do

i met one which i ended up having to clean up his mess and supervise him although he is the specialist and i was a total newbie to the system.
he was released after 1 month
the bar may had been set very high as his predescessor on the other hand was good, very confident (also indian).
but to be outdone by a total newbie in the field you specialize in really speaks a lot in his skill which he is supposed to be specialized in

there is also another that could never understand instructions but kept on arguing that he is right and disappears all the time.
he even requested another colleague to do his interview assessment test because his contract was not goin to be renewed and needed to get a new job.
worst thing is....he got the job !!! my fren is regretting for helping him now....hahaha
i seriously doubt his skillset is up to par since he was only exposed to that tech during his 1 year and the feedback for his work is   
2 teams did not trust his work.   
i wish the company good luck.   

and the list goes on.

I staying Bukit Panjang nearby CCK..so far so good, not so crowd compare to those CBD area.

I renew my Re entry permit this year. Only granted 1 year until I produce employer letter stated my job requires me to be out station most of the time. Then only they gave me 5 years.

Simple. Rent studio condo or 3room HDB. If not too fussy about location ~S$1.8k can liao.

My friend rent a studio condo in city area cost sgd3k per month.

It depends on location.
