where u staying then ?

my gf n i share a room here for SGD400 including electricity, water n broadband. is that consider ok ?

Hey, the thing i dislike is the long queue at the customs... sometimes feel like going back to KL to meet my parents or friends but once i think that i have to wait for 1.5 hrs in the Singapore custom on Friday 7pm... i pull myself from going back to Malaysia.. Ppl there is lining up 2 rows for a custom door...lol..

Really hope that Singapore can be like Malaysia... juz show the passport to the lazy immigration officers sitting down there at the booth and you can pass-through easily... really save a lot of time especailly for us working which wanted to rush back to KL every week..

wah very cheap, we try to look an air cond room around AMK and i offer 650 still really can't get it yet.

NO... u have to be smart... for those who have experience, go to the few custom booths almost to the right.. there are lesser ppl there... but be smart, before u line up see in ur row whether are there any foreigners which come from other countries (not m'sia), normally it will be faster if the row are all malaysians compare to the rows which have Aussies, Japanese, Koreans as they need to check on visa and so on...

BTW, if your row have someone that looks like Mat Selamat Kastari, don't line up lah despite less than 10 ppl..

What access card u r talking about? Izit the APEC card? Can pls share where and how to apply? 1 access card can use how long?

Guys and Gals,

Do you think Malaysian graduate can easily find job there? Or you guys advice after getting job experience?

the link below should help you.

If you are using WP, EP those, the access card is valid for 1 yr/ the duration of your pass. However if your are PR, the access card is valid for 3 years, more worth the money. Even for 1 yr i still think its worth of money.

Most of my friends who just graduate from local uni got the job in sg quite easily.
I heard private university/college fresh graduate will be harder to find a job there as sg govt don't recognize those certs.

Oh, that is interesting. May I know how your friends sourced their job from? Malaysia newspaper (TheStar, NST), Online or word-of-mouth?

Wow, it really useful. I really din know there is such cards available to apply.
I think i will go and apply for it after i got my EP. 5 mins is really efficient. Thanks for your info bro

you can try jobstreet or jobsdb.
the best should be sg Straits Times newspaper.
there are three recruitment sections (at least 50 pages) for saturday.

issit jus me or its my memory last week n the week b4 the no of jobs getting fewer n fewer iirc usually the job section in the straits times is damn thick now very thin already. showing the economy slowing down?

may i know how much is fee for work permit if i going to work in singapore ?

is it pay by me or my employer ?

pls advise ..... thanks.

even many with just spm can get themselves a job, why dont you
cement your steps before you try to achieve anything
that's my 2 cents

i thought he was asking about graduate from university/college?

register urself at monster.com. i got my sg job from there

a bit hard if apply job from kl...why don come to sg first and stay at frens house?....better chance of getting interview....

I'm interested in both 'B's..
But wait till i get a job there...hehehe...

Work permit is $150 per month, Employment pass is $30 per year. If your company pay for you then its nice, if not then you have to pay the fee with your own money.

wow, thank god for this info, i never will have to bear the nightmare of waiting 2 hours inside the queue that was the worst nightmare i had.

anyway there'll be a party threw for electrico (band) on their new album in zouk this firday, anyone going?
