I think you try to say POSB.
Most of the company in Singapore bank in the salary to POSB account.
If can open another bank, go for OCBC bank.
Most of the time, POSB have very long queue.
Meanwhile OCBC ATM seldom have very long queue and most of the mrt station also have it.

I'm also deciding whether to work in SG or stay behind in AUS. what u guys have to say?

Thanks a lot eveeryone. I guess I'll try OCBC. Hate long queue.

What is your position in Australia ?

I'm still doing my final semester. After I grad, should I go sg to work or find jobs in aus?

I thought most of the people who study in Aus also want to take the Aus PR.
Last time some of my friends don't want come back until get their PR approve first.
I heard they said, it is easier to get PR when still inside the Aus country.

I just start work in sg for 1 weeks. So far so good.
When u come here and go shopping, u realize alot of thing is so cheap compare to KL
Must resist yourself to keep spending.

sigh...i oso wanna work at singhapore

you can work in sg too if you want to.
Just make the initiative to apply job and go interview in sg even it is tiring.

what are the chances of getting a job there?

Depends what field but I think is not that difficult to get a job there. M e, my gf and my friends all manage to get job here.

maybe in a year or so.
too many commitments here now.
wanna finish up my studies 1st.

It's because of the conversion of the money.

For example, you paid SG$ 20 for a shirt which sold for RM40. Logically, you would think it's cheaper. With the same amount of salary each month, your purchase power is actually quite high compared to other Malaysians. Well, just remembered that the more you earn the more you need to save. Good luck in PoreLand.

hi there..

I m going to work in sg next mid month. Now is in the process of applying the EP. I am a bit worried coz I still have not received any update on the EP status. Without EP I would not able to rent a room there. Is it possible to get a room in SG in last minutes?

If your EP is already pending approval you will have the FIN number . So you should be able to rent any room. If not you can tell the owner you will give the FIN number once your EP approve, i think should not be a problem
