Would like to find out what are the working/employer culture like in singapore?
Is it work you till you drop type or more of a professional type?
I got offered a 12 day annual leave gig and find it shocking with so little leaves.
Are employees required to work over time with no replacements leave or financial benefits?

Just overall, I know bigger companies might have better benefits, but SME might not.

Got money and suddenly the son call his father as uncle

Hi guys, actually, once we become a PR, it is considered as  a permanent thing unless we renounce it (which means i will have to leave Singapore?) I am confused, because i have heard of "renewing" PR instead? What is this renewal thing? If i don't renew, that means i am renouncing?

Also, can i withdraw my application after i have applied?

Hi All,

regarding salary payment in singapore,

- If you work 183 days or more in a calendar year you are a tax resident and pay the same progressive tax rates as locals.
- If you work less than 183 days you are not a tax resident and pay flat 15% tax or progressive tax rates as locals (whichever is higher). However the following year if your employment spills over into exceeding 183 days you can request IRAS to re-assess you as a tax resident and refund you the difference in tax paid.

If i just started to work in singapore, for example 3k SGD.

1. is there any other deductions foresee? levy fee or tax (annual or monthly?)
2. if i start to work in may 2015, so in 2015 years i will be a tax resident and pay progressive tax rate?

What can an event and marketing background worker can do in SG? Only SPM certs though. Do you think he can work in SG without any education certificates?

I doubt he want it as retail is not really what he is looking for. Event and marketing is his strength and he hopes to find similar job in SG, or at least HR or admin instead of changing into retail field.

nothing wrong. I'm also trying to do just sufficient, so more time for myself. I'm kinda lazy actually.

Anyone in O&G industry working in SG? It seems theyre mostly in the shipbuilding business and that seems like the only place for someone with my experience to apply in? (Mechanical package engineer) Any advice?

Nope, he said the post was being taken up, as I said this is a mass interview, most of the group from MY and SG are exchanging info. People from SG are getting higher post will lesser experience while people from MY are getting lower post even with much higher experience.
Racism are happening every where, every time.

Yes, because most of the Malaysian gang are Malay and Indian. So are Singaporeans don't see skin color?
Nope, sorry, this never happens. Skin color still come first.

Degree in Internal Business, and from Segi (KL) branch..

Lol..that link like doesn't help much. Do you know any private college or education in Singapore?

You'll have an option to go 5/9 or 16/20, I chose the later, as I felt the employers contribution is higher thus better and can better adjust my salary and increment the following years
