i though bringing M'sia car in cast a boom? correct me if im wrong~

emm custom charger at S$15 per day is that so?

It's SGD$20/day. and the toll is SGD$1.20 if u use causeway. 2ndLink i dunno cos never been to that part of town. If sharing of course cheaper then take bas. To go and return from office might cos u almost SGD$6-7 dollars/day. Dun mention the time leh. Of course we have to take parking charges into consideration. Parking can get monthly pass cheaper of course. by any mean it still beat queing up for the bus and inhaling all the diesel exfume from stupid buses.. lolz.. my 2cent

well maybe we can take the job first then later got PR already, then change job so can ask for higher ma smile.gif hehehehe

Correct =) Exactly wat i'm trying to do.. but beware that if u turn PR big portion of ur salary goes to CPF.. and mind all of those who contribute to CPF, west malaysia are not permitted to withdraw ur CPF no matter if u give up ur PR status or ur age goes over the current maturity age of 65. So think twice before u make any choices =)

U sure?? if a malaysian turn into PR in Singapore, he cannot withdraw it after the retirement age?? Then what the use of CPF in the first place?? Why west malaysia only??

ANd the retirement age is 65?? not 55??
*
Unfortunately yes, my apologies for the typo. It's 55 for now, 65 next year onwards. CPF can be used to offset ur house mortage, car loans, health insurance etc etc, but definitely not 1 lump sum cash. From my understanding la, dun flame if incorrect, my boss told me that. tongue.gif
