Do Singapore companies give housing allowances to any/all non-Singaporean employees?

I don't think it's given as a matter of course or a standard benefit.

You just graduated? If you want I can have a look at your CV. I reckon you have an accounting/finance related degree right?

I can help you get an interview. The rest is all up to yourself.

PM me with your degree name, which uni, detailed degree results and how old you are.

i just graduated too >"< and im hoping to work in SG as well..

for my situation it is not so true....
I am currently looking for jobs in Singapore as well as I will graduate in late May this year.
I had applied for many jobs (fresh graduate) mostly in banking,finance and insurance industry.
Btw i have applied for jobs in Malaysia and i got two offer already.It is not as easy as in Singapore in my opinion because mostly they want Singaporean and PR especially those recruiting agent (in jobsdb and jobstreet)
cktwai bro,if you can give me some advice or help me as well i will be most grateful,thank you

Well,

I have been working in Singapore for a year. My last salary in Singapore was RM4,500 ($ converted in Malaysia Ringgit) and I am work as an IT Consultant.

I would like to share with you my experiences before you work in Singapore:

1) You need to get a job in Singapore before you work in Singapore. I notice that some of our Malaysian go straight to Singapore and hope to get a job there by staying in your relative/friends house. (This will work but you have to wait for getting the job there for at least 2 - 3 month if you are fresh graduate).

2) Alternatively, you should get help from your relative/friends who work/stay in Singapore and help you to get the job before you resign from existing work.

3) My standard living cost in Singapore. ( All in Singapore Dollar)

- Breakfast ($1.50)
- Lunch ($3.50)
- Dinner ($4.00 - 5.00)
No mamak ...save your money..

4) Rental ( All in Singapore Dollar)
- $400 per room. (You better share with your friends. So, save another $200 per month)

5) Transport (Daily) ( All in Singapore Dollar)
- 1 Trip approximate to $1.00. So, at lest $2.00 a day. I prefer take bus or MRT. No taxi please, otherwise, it will increase your expenses.

6) You will be staying in a room like the bird nest size of room. No worry, i did it last time. Can save even more $$$.

7) Monthly saving better than you earn in Malaysia...Definitely....

8) If you work as Professional or Consultations film. They will respect you as they did...But if you as Kolar Putih....Then....

9) Last Reminder....Please get your PR after working in Singapore for at least 1 year. Apply it and get it...Then, you can jump to another company easily....Otherwise, stay in the same company until you get it done..It's too hard to get another job if you are holding "Work Permit" only.

Hope the above information is useful to you...All the best!!!

actually, anyone of you working in SG plan to buy a flat in SG?

It seems like a good investment.

I think if you plan to stay in sg for long term, getting a flat is a better option rather than rent from ppl. Dun think the sg flat is a good investment.

Dun think the sg flat is a good investment.

Why?

u cannot buy sg flats in sg..u can only go for private condos which cost above sgd500k the last time i checked, that also the condo is quite far from mrt.. Only if 2 married PRs or Singaporeans can buy their flats...not sure if not married but related like mom and son or bro and sis and etc can mo.

thanks alot for the info..

any ideas on how to get job faster as a fresh graduate ? =/

IF u have a reasonable qualification, im sure u can get one soon, provided u not choosy in terms of money, size of company, etc.. the companies oso wan to save cost. But make sure ur salary can pay for ur living expenses..

Dun worry about extra savings, cos after u got the experiences, u can get better job and demand higher pay

Thats the advantage of being fresh grads.

Why you think SG flat is a good investment?

Very interesting and useful info. I'm considering to work there too.

You say no mah, that's why I ask you for guidance.
Why are you directing the question back?
