If u want to get a PR u must at least work in Singapore 1 year and have to contribute wit CPF... also they want to see your SPM result (5 credit )... And depends on what skill u have they prefer technical skill or professional skill (accountant, engineering, IT )
And the last thing is depends on luck... thumbup.gif

good luck to ur friend... icon_rolleyes.gif

I'm a Johorian. I worked there for 2 years in IT and got my PR. But now come back liow. Overall, I personally think S'pore is good for earning and saving money but not a place to settle down for long term.

Come to think of it I can sing "Mari Kita" better than those S'porean. Some of them don't understand what they sing. Hahahaha.....

Singaporean = Lifeless creature..

It's pretty obvious that working in Singapore (for Malaysian) is only for the sweet conversion rate. Other than that... sigh....

Sorry I'm pretty much a KL supporter flex.gif flex.gif

Yup! I agree, SIngapore is okay if we plan to earn and save money for future. Long term, better come back to Malaysia biggrin.gif

If i'm not mistaken even with PR you cannot solely buy a HDB unit, you will need to co-own the unit with another PR.

Spore is a better place to earn your salary. Standard of living is also lower than in Malaysia. Taking public transport is a breeze compare with our notRapid KL. Crime rate is also low. Never heard of snatch thief and Mat rempit over there.

I know of people getting PRs within a few months. About 3 months fastest -given the processing time is already 2 months... For me I took my time and still got it after 8 months (I applied on the 6th month I was there).

Not sure if that 1 year minimum working period applies to all working visa types. Is it stipulated by MOM officially? Even if not, I'll bet those with Employment Passes might be more favoured compared to the more common Working Pass or S-Passes.

You mean higher?
COST of living, I feel, is a bit lower, dollar for ringgit.

However, owning even decent property will make you servitude to the bank for a number of decades.
