How much will that be for 24 hours?

SGD 20 if I'm not mistaken. Motorcycle is SGD 4.

Check here for details. Land Transport Authority of Singapore.

Added on March 5, 2007, 7:27 pmBe honest. And if they ask for which company or address, just give it to them so they know you are legit. If you try to lie and your face show, they will question you some more. There is no problem if you are honest, they are just trying to weed out trouble.

If you don't have any interview and planning to go there to buy newspaper and find a job, just tell them the truth. It is much easier because I'm worried that if you tried to lie and you cannot make a straight face while lying, they might get suspicious of you and ask you more questions to probe you. Trust me, those immigration officers are trained for this and you are not.

There's this telecommunication company at SG, M1, which advertised in The Star paper last saturday. I wonder if anyone who work there can advise or give some info regarding this company. And also how much is rental of one room over at SG?

Really wanna try out this job as customer service, but dunno how's life over at Singapore. Anyone who saw this ad n interested in it?

any "pantang" that i should know about before i go sg? how about taxation and stuff?....though i can find the info from the net but a person view suits me well

Well, competition is very tough. Most jobs(atleast 80%) required you to have atleast 2-3 years of working experience. No harm trying anyway.

I may start working in Singapore mid of April. Which is the best way to do? get a room in Singapore or get an apartment in JB and use public transport to work? Put into consideration how much money do u save by renting in JB and is it stressful to do that everyday.

Another question, where do i look for room renting advertisement in Spore? i googled but it seems that it is more towards condos or apt which costs $1500. Renting rooms would be sharing with others right? or is it like japan where 1 room has everything?

As long as u work > 180 days in a day in Spore, the income tax payable would be "normal"...and trust me, it is lower than Msia. Otherwise, it is higher. U may refer to www.iras.gov.sg for details.

Only PR needs to contribute CPF. For west Msian, u can oni withdrawn your cpf after 55 years old or u sumpah will never work in Spore in your entire life.

Other Misc:
- dun try to bring > 1 pack cigaratte pass the Spore custom. U'll get fined or high taxed for that.
- dun corrupt the cop there
- If u r driving, no speeding no red lights crossing no jump q. Mobile speed track and camera is everywhere.

hiyoo, in your white card (arrival visa cards) on the Purpose Of Entry colum
just tick Visit Friends/Relatives or if you really don't have relatives/friends then just tick the Holiday box, they (immigration officers) hardly ask you anything about it as long as you don't bring prohibited goods into singapore eq. cigarettes, DVD, CDs' etc you're good to go

Spore has 3 telecommunication service providers. M1 is one of them.
These companies are always recruiting CS cos the turnover rate is very high. U probably will find many Msian there. Think this is a shift work. Pay shall be ard SGD2k.

Rental of one room at Sg is SGD200~500 depending on locations/facilities. Those near to MRT more expensive.

Spore is safe country but small and can be quite boring. But there are many activities for youngters at their community centres if u willing to open up yourself. Make new friends there and occupy yourself...dun go back hometown every weekends. If u like to read, they have libraries at most of the bigger residential areas. Registered yourself with a minimal amount and u can borrow books there.

Added on March 8, 2007, 12:41 amIt all depends. If your Spore working place is near to the checkpoint for eg Woodlands, Marsilings etc... no pblm to commute from JB everyday. I guess many Msia transporters have the commute service from JB ~ Spore daily. But be prepared for the routine tired journey and u would sacrifice some of the life style for eg u cant go dinner/shopping after works with colleagues. Life could be quite monotomous.
U may check the Spore newspaper for room rent. It shd be SGD200~SGD500/room. Better location more ex. U can opt not to share with others but gotta pay higher lor. Furnished or not also depends. But Spore Ikea quite reasonable price, just go grab few cheap piece to done up your room if it is empty. Won't cost u so much.

Is the employee needs to pay for the working permit/S pass? Or the company sponsor without deducting the salary?

I think the company will pay for you.
The only thing I know that the company will deduct from the salary is the CPF.
I am not very sure also because I become PR after grad.

Well, my friend(a Burmese) applied job in Singapore, but have to pay $3000.00 for the S Pass. He mentioned to me that the company din't pay for him. Just want to know is there a rules to pay $3000 for foreigner?

a fren in sg recently told me that i can find a job thru an agent in sg.....if my application for the job is succesful....the company will pay the agent....is it normal? do i need to pay money to the agent? is there a "catch"?

you sure or not ?

Added on March 8, 2007, 9:59 pmIf can find the job directly to the company you want to work for.
If gone through agent, the agent will deduct some money from your salary.

i never heard i need to paid for the employment pass to work in singapore.. i got cousin that working in singapore, they never mention about this..

Most resonable companies in Spore will pay the work permit/S pass application fee. But everywhere has rotten egg comapnies...so if the company ask u to pay for the fee, easy, dun take the job. They wont be reasonable for the package too.

Spore has many so called "agents" trying to bring in foreign workers to work in Spore...esp in construction and labour intensive sector. They claim they can secure job and guaranteed work permit/S pass for the foreigners thus ask them (usually Burmase, Chinese, Indonesian, Thai) for $$. But beware, in spore, no one can pre-guarantee work permit/S pass would be issued to u. Only Immigration and checkpoints authority (ICA) has the final say.

Also employment agents at Spore will charge employer, not employee.

just wanna ask. Anyone is working at Emerio? How is it like? I may start working there soon.

ic....just wanna know ...let's just say i settle down in sg already....what do i hae to do yearly? like paying tax and government obligations ?

Even tho your earing in SIN$$$, cost of living is high too. many Singaporean come to M'sia to shops..things are expensive there.
