The market rate for the fresh grad engineer here is $2.4k leh. Just for everyone benefit, what is the fresh grad market rate in Malaysia ?
Hey man, I have ask  my Singaporean school mate from your field. They say don't know MMU , they asking me back is that UM. Too bad, they only know University Malaya only. maybe MMU is not well known here. I don't know whether your engineering job need recognition  or not by the Professional Engineer Board. You can refer to the Professional Board webpage.

i'm from mmu, and as far as i know...i have plenty of uni-mate working here without any problem about recognition. All managed to get EP without any problem wif MOM too. So no need to worry....

btw...i'm refering to engineering & IT students from mmu.....

Not PR lah....
Everyone accepted to study here will automatic get the 80% Tuition Grant.
We no need to pay back the 80% school fees if you work here for 3 years after graduate.
Unless you are super rich and reject the 80% free money, then you pay it yourself and have the freedom to back to Malaysia and work.
Most of the Malaysian study here will not back to Malaysia and work, the reason they give is that the Malaysia company cannot pay as much as they earn in Singapore.

No le...
if u accept the discount then u need to bond for 3 yrs....and to do this, u need to be a PR.

Where you listen from ? You listen from who ?  biggrin.gif
The 80% is alot of money, for an ordinary folk from Malaysia will not able to pay all the 100% school fees on their own.
Everyone come here and study will also have the tuition grant and bond.
Malaysian need to bond for 3 years meanwhile the China need to bond for 5 years.
What I want to say is that the tuition grant is for everyone as long their result is good enough to be accepted by NTU or NUS admission, and not just the PR only can get it leh.
Why I know so much ? It is because I not hear from other people, I am gone through  it leh.  tongue.gif

No u r wrong....
they grant the 80% discount + bond not based on whether u are accepted by NTU or NUS or not.....

Even if after SPM, and u enter polytechnic/ junior college u will also be given the same privilege. There is no way u can get the tuition grant + bond without being a PR.

Dear eurekas & yihyan

Technically speaking, both of you are correct.

U no need to become PR to get the grant. But u have to become a PR to service your 3-years bond after you graduate.

Definitelty stay in SG. Because, if you see the jam everyday at the 2 causeway during peak hours, you will pengsan. It's normal for people who stay in JB to come to SG 2-3 hours earlier to escape the jam and have a short nap at their working place. So if they work at 8AM, most will leave their house in JB at 5AM to avoid the 6AM jam and reach their company around 6.30AM and sleep until 8AM. When they go back, it's the same thing, the finish work at SG at 5PM and reach home in JB at about 6.30-7PM. Have dinner and watch TV until 10PM and then sleep again for the next day. This is what I hear from the Malaysians workers at my place using bikes to commute everyday.

Now imagine if you had to do that everyday for work. Last I heard there is about few hundred thousand Malaysians working in SG, about half commute everyday through the causeway, and there is only 2 causeway going in, and limited to 2 roads each. I've seen the worst jams of motorcycles at the causeway, its something that will numb most motorist.

this is not a problem if u drive to work from jb to sg smile.gif
the traffic is much smooth, no terrible jam.
