well,i'm currently working in a construction company in s'pore. due to now s'pore construction boom,there're tonnes of jobs n vacancies. s'pore is a good place for living, as it is a safe country with well-controlled in almost everything by the government. it's a good place for study as the education standard is high here, yet for work...stress.i may have said, ppl here are too demanding, working life here is stressful (depends on ur scope of work of coz)...actually it depends on how u handle ur working life too...so...good luck n all the best.. blush.gif

Yeah, sounds good eh?

Why stayin is cheaper?? If staying with owner is as good (or better) than staying with other, why is it cheaper?

Any cons (and pros) of staying with owner??

staying with owner is good as you don't have to bother to clean the whole house. just need to tidy up your room. apart from that, you'll have a fully furnished house. so most likely you'll have aircond, complete kitchen and home entertainment

MBB's iSavvy and Std Chartered eSaver accounts give the highest interest rates without having to commit the funds to a fixed deposit (> 1%. Many S$ FDs give less than that).

But both are primarily internet and/or phone accounts ie. you pay fees if you use the counter at a branch and no ATM card. So, you use the ibanking to transfer money to your daily account.

MBB however gave me a free debit card linked to the account later on and it's also a convenient way to send money back to Malaysia if you have a Malaysian MBB account.

I use POSB/DBS as my daily account as it's got the most ATMs and branches.

how much does MBB charge for transfer S$ to malaysia's MBB account?
MBB also got fall below charges?

Yup, it's either I go to Maybank's website and look up the answer for you, or you do it yourself. Guess which one I prefer.
