I think it means you won't get PR automatically even if you'd been working in Singapore for years. You have to apply for it. Some people prefer NOT to apply for PR as you have to pay CPF (like our EPF here in Malaysia).

if you have the right experience they need, they will pay higher, even higher than singaporean. Don't always think that Malaysian are being exploit here. Just that you have to know, Singapore's salary is lower compare to Malaysia.

How about the security there? I bet it is so much safer than Malaysia! Like in malaysia, girls get wistled at.... then you have perverts lah... and people lepaking at central markets, sogo and etc (mostly not Msian)... I heard the Singaporeans dont act like Msians do... they dont look at girls one kind (in a pervert way)... Haha!

Security is much much safer than in Malaysia. If you walk alone on the street at 12am, you need not worry about it.

Aiyo, how come some of you guys simply don't want to do simple info search for themselves? The internet is wasted on you folks leh.

Go Singapore Customs

high tech industry. those company laying-off are doing high tech.

i got an offer for contract sg IT job which through the agent. The agent will be negotiating the salary & benefits behalf of me.

i would like to know whether the higher salary package i got better for the agent or lower the better?

Do my salary will be lowering down due to through agent?

good to know that.. any1 knows any websites to hunt for a job as banker (corporate loan)?

I'm staying near Marine Parade, at the East side of SG but I'm working at Jurong East =.=" Wake up at 5am, come out at 6am, reach office at 9am, reach home at 9pm

I'm working as an ERP consultant, people here are not really friendly as most of them just focus on their own job. I miss the interaction and communication between colleagues in my old company

I'm staying in a 1+1 HDB with my girlfriend, $1100 per month excluding all the bills.

1+1 units means 1 room 1 living room, the house comes with only one room itself, don't have other rooms to lock haha. Other places like Bedok... the rate fluctuates a lot... a 1+1 unit (with 1 room locked as there are NO legal 1+1 units at Bedok) can range between $900 to $1400 =.="

Can? What's the success rate if I apply for a PR on the 5th day of my work? Zero or close to zero?

Its almost end of the month already; perhaps I could give you guys a breakdown on my expenditure on the 1st month working in SG.

Staying in a 1+1 unit at Marine Terrace with my girlfriend.

- Rental deposit (1 month deposit): $550
- Rental: $550
- Housing agent fees (50% of rent): $275
- Broadband application: $55
- Singtel postpaid: $50
- Wi-fi router: $70
- Household and cooking utensils etc: $200
- Ez-link card for public transport: $100
- Food: $500
- Employment Pass application (inclusive of body checkup): $100

Haven't got my utility bill yet but most probably it will be $60. So there goes... a grand total of $2450 for the 1st month. Next month onwards won't be so hefty... rough estimate gonna be around $1400 only.

started my sg working life at 23th of June. Still very new to this land and no friends to hang around.
Wish to join the meeting but no money. Sigh.
coming here oredi cost me alot of money, can put me in the waiting list and i shall join u guys next month(august).

And im also looking for badminton and basketball kaki..
anyone here interested?

Hmmm... interesting question..
However...personally I would not recommend a Malay to work here. The reasons being:

1) It is very very hard to find a halal restaurant here... There are very few mamaks here for the Malays... Almost 95% is chinese restaurant. Even u go to food courts in supermarkets, there are still selling babi foods there...
2) Employers here basically won't allow Muslims to go for Fridays prayers unless you can skip lunch and the masjid is just next to ur office... but i think is very very hard to find that kind of place to work in SG.
3) If not wrong, schools here won't allow muslim girls to wear tudung oso... I once heard a news saying that a school in SG ban a gal from wearing tudung.
4) Singaporeans like to keep dogs as pets and let them walk freely in the park or around their HDB, but if you are a Muslim, i afraid u may not be so comfortable in walking in the parks or around ur HDB because there are many dogs around..
5) There are very very few masjid (I only seen 2 masjid so far after i work here for 6 mths) in SG. So, it will be quite troublesome if u are staying quite far from the masjid and wanna perform ur morning prayers at 4.30am..

Nevertheless, if u are a Muslim and still can cope with the facts mentioned above... I would recommend ur Malay friend to work here.. Good luck to ur friend.
