QUOTE(faint_loop @ Dec 9 2014, 11:14 PM) why is it so difficult to get a job in singapore? even the recruitment agents that I've called to enquire on relevant jobs are not helpful at all Are you currently in malaysia? Do you put a very high expected salary? What are your skillsets? Most companies stated only hire singaporean and PR first. |

QUOTE(Lester1987 @ Dec 18 2014, 06:23 PM) EP is hard to get nowadays. many of my colleague got S pass and some even got a WP. Those on the $3-3.5k range no need to hope for EP anymore. Those below 3k, prepare to take WP. at least that's what happen in the place i working now. What jobs are there? I guess in engineering field? Bcos my staff in finance department got EP with 3.4k |

Anyone faces this dilemma before?
If converted to Singaporean, can we still withdraw money from our EPF account in Malaysia? |

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Dec 26 2014, 09:20 AM) Malaysian citizenship in exchange for a place in good primary school To be frank, a singaporean passport is worth more than a Malaysian passport in international black market as the holder of a singaporean passport is visa free for many countries. . My dark red passport worth only pink red's passport primary school seat  . Xmas sale ah? I thought need at least few hundred k sgd saving only people will give up the big country for a small one.Anyway, your kids' and their future you decide yourself. |

QUOTE(wlcling @ Dec 26 2014, 09:57 AM) I'd say go for it... If got money, sure sg can still retire nicely... Being a citizen will help save money too, taxes, subsidies etc Lastly my 2 cents, maybe quite a shallow observation but Also job market favor Singaporeans heavily now.... Won't be surprised if it continuously gets tougher for non citizens here in many areas. it's also tougher to even get citizenship these days, heard of rejection cases already. Maybe 5 years down the road, it'll be as difficult to get citizenship as it is as difficult to get PR now. I know too many people now trying to get citizenship but haven't pass the hurdle of getting PR yet. Meritocracy can be a painful word when you get older and competition gets tougher. QUOTE(keelim @ Dec 26 2014, 10:39 AM) Wouldn't you be paying more for a passport issued in a country with vast land mass? That would be perfect for exile. SG is too dense for a hideout. +1.SG is safe and good for education and up-bringing for your family and children. (provided if you have $500K cash for retirement + CPF savings + min 3 rooms HDB at age of 55). My friend was right. Why earn so much money back and retired in Malaysia where you need to deal with skin colour issues, meaningless Bahasa education, racist society and rising properties issues? Worse-off, one incident of theft or snatch thieve = whole life paralyze for nothing despite having RM1m cash in your bank. |

QUOTE(azrief @ Dec 30 2014, 11:51 PM) Hello guys, i juz recently got an offer to work at Singapore. The basic salary offered was SGD2000. I'm currently working at puchong with a basic salary of RM2200 + OT claim (average around RM400-RM500). The question is, is it worth to take the job with that salary in Singapore? Congrats. You need to minimise your expenses.Try to share a room unit with someone else, then your rental will be around $400 only. Minus all other expenses, I think you can still save $1k a month which is pretty good. May I know how old are you and what kind of job is it? |

QUOTE(poor_engineer @ Jun 26 2015, 10:15 AM) First time I heard people comment about good food in Sg If you eat in kopitiam, definitely not good food la. Even in KL, if you eat in hawkers (which mostly cooked by banglas and myanmars), is not good also. If you eat in restaurants, confirmed better than KL. Even McD is better taste than KL, trust me. |
