Its inevitable. Almost all developed country bar maybe Germany has a negligeble manufacturing industry. SG is no different. You want to be a developed country, then you have to have high value economy i.e. services
*
yea, if wanna in technical also should go for R&D, but maybe not applicable in SG

5k is above MOM median pay leh. Better off than half already. You want "apa lagi kamu mau?" appear in Strait Times?

I am considering the option of staying in nusajaya and take bus to boon lay everyday to work. Is it feasible? Appreciate your advice.

Can consider car pool as well, normally a trip cost SGD 5-7.
You might have to wake up 5+ morning and back home 8+.
If you don't mind q-ing, rushing and no after work life. this could be a good option

From Jb lo..not really for those driving with SG car plate..
the tol is around RM20(both SG+JB), + RM 5-10 petrol for a single journey
Driver charge 1 person SGD7, if can get 4 ppl, he earn somemore..

What documents? Think most of us here don't bother translating Malaysia documents like birth cert. Although technically and officially they say must translate but rarely they will reject Malaysia documents.

SPM cert and birth cert?
I have asked some of my friends, whereby majority of them weren't being asked for birth cert and spm cert, however there were still some guys being asked for.
Think it is better to play safe lo..

How you get your appointment for the PR application? Always full in the e-appointment for 6 months straight.

Er..depend on luck la.there are always people pull out their application last minute..Whenever I log in I can always find slot few days from the day i check.
last time i login monday full den afternoon check again got slot ad..

Yes, that's what I heard from my HR, it seems like there is different quota seperated with Foreigner like PRC, Philippino, Myanmmar. They have no issue in hiring Malaysians, but having issues in getting other countries with permit. Recently my company has no choice but to let few new foreigner staff leave as they couldn't get the pass for them successfully. Whereas for Malaysian is fine.

Maybe is not really call seperated quota, but for Malaysian, Singapore government tends to give some benefit for Malaysian to work in Sg due to similar culture and environment.
*
There is no different quota among foreigner.
It is just that Malaysian stand a higher chance than other foreigner in their pass and PR application, mainly due to similar culture, language and etc with Singapore.

I beg to differ. Taxi drivers seem to always know that I'm Malaysian whether I speak Mandarin or English. I think i don't use 'anyhow' and 'wah kaoz' enough in my speech icon_idea.gif

I second that. Even though I am from JB and watch SG drama since young, those taxi driver still can differentiate my accent..
maybe due to the usage of words? biggrin.gif
