littleway, i rent a unit in sg wif my frens, so i only go back msia when weekend. This is  because my job will work til damn late most of da time so i cant rili travel between msian and sg, it wil kill me if i do tat.

Normally after u get ur work permit, u are required to work 180 days then only can quit for avoid some leceh stuff. The leceh stuff i refer is they will charge 15%(not sure) of your income if you didnt work enuff 180days in sg then quit. I also not so sure about dis regulation as some ppl did tat, but they didnt kena the charge.

And the work pass is under ur employer name, so after u resign, ur work pass wil be cancel too. There's only 2 special condition:

1) U holding a new type of work pass called PEP, Profesional Employee Pass (sumthing like dis) that u can free from employer when change job  but with many condition. Like ur salary mostly must over S$2,500, u're in those profesional field such as lawyer, doctor, and etc.

2) U r a PR (Permanent Resident) of sg, so u're not required to hold a work pass to work in sg. In order to get PR, it wil b a long and troublesome process. I think if any ppl wanna know dis, better google search for dis, i also not sure about some process in apply PR as i dun plan to apply for now.

Hi yrh0413,

What are u working as there? Are people there friendly? where u staying? biggrin.gif

ur accounting firm = audit firm?
according to my ex-colleague, audit firm in singapore is all concentre at 1 area. city centre, im forget the name.
so some of them staying near to city, judge by how many stop using MRT.

the farer you stay, the more cheaper the rent.

anyways, you may expect other foreigner working with u, like from philipinas,HK and China n Msian as well. tongue.gif

smile.gif Previously when I was working in Malaysia, my routine is almost the same too... I work in Cyberjaya and stay in KL; every morning switch LRTs and buses also 2 hours on the road already =.="

Here, at least I could sleep in the bus for 2 hours straight, and the kind bus driver would shake me up when I reach JE laugh.gif $60 for 2 hours of sleep? Well I earned it back by sleeping in the bus yawn.gif

oh so you can only apply directly though companies and not going through agents?

oh, btw, all my ex-colleagues is apply the auditing practices. the audit field needs a lots of people. normally, it's very fast to get the offer in this field.

Is it safe to dropoff at puduraya?

All the while i only take aeroline bus and dropoff at 1U and Sunway pyramid. But this time aeroline fully booked, so i have to take other alternative to go back malaysia.

Only concern is i will be going back at 7pm and will reach puduraya around 12 midnite, so is it advisable not to bring too much money back ?
*
importantly do u have transport back to ur home from puduraya?

if take taxi from puduraya in the midnight, expected kena chop (try to bargain) or lucky got meter taxi with 50% surcharge.
