But he still has income for last year right? Rightfully he should do, to claim for all the reliefs and what's not.
That's why for our company, we enforced that all leavers exiting from Malaysia must do tax clearance before leaving country, then only we release their last drawn salary. Then, they don't need to file for income tax before 30th April.

correct also. tq for clarifying the details. thumbup.gif

if u r using 1 handphone with 1 sim card at a time, whatsapp will automatically switch from 1 number to another 1 under same account. then, a notification will be sent out to contact that u change phone no.

its best to hav 2 handphone with 2 sim card (my & sg)....
*
my whatsapp did not migrate to sg number yet.
i asked my fren, they said did not see whatsapp notify i changed new number(SG)

When you swap the sim card, there will be a pop-up in Whatsapp to ask you if you want to keep the existing number(MY) or change to the new number(SG). If you change to the new number, Whatsapp will auto add that number to all of the group chats.

As for the single person chat, it will appear as a new chat in your friend's phone when you text them.

oic. ya whatsapp did prompt me . but i did not change.
i know now. i will migrate to the new SG number.

thanks all notworthy.gif

I'm using dual SIM card phone now, one for my personal and one for my corporate line.
So for my own personal line, I use the native WhatsApp app, the corporate line is on another app called - Disa. Easy peasy, problem solved to have two WhatsApp accounts in one phone. biggrin.gif

oic okok. will have a look on Disa.

Iwan's calculation is correct. In the event you are taxed 15% for the first year, but you continue to work in Singapore, the excess tax you paid will be refunded to you.
*
yes. his calculation is accurate. just based on his calculation and follow the table listed on iras

u can search jobstreet or jobsdb for those php job that are for senior level engineer(4years exp).
my guess is 4 - 5k sgd. just put 5k if u unsure.
most of the time interview they will ask for your current salary (MYR) and expected salary (SGD)

I am drawing RM7.6K gross in msia as a senior exec, got an offer in SG for SGD 4.1k as a consultant.

Do not consider landed house & car, is this a downgrade for my life? I don't go luxury food, clubbing..etc. Just average console gamer, occasionally buy some Lego, go oversea travelling with my wife once a year (mostly Asia/Australia region)...

Just would like to get some general idea.
*
i would think the salary in SG 4.1k is a downgrade for you, maybe you can nego more
car and landed house in sg are not essential. MRT everywhere and HDB flat everywhere.

problem is will u willing to leave your family/wife to come SG and work.

edit: just IMHO

Indeed 4.1k sgd seems low to me.
Indeed I am eager to move out from Msia with my wife, not easy to msia to get an offer in SG if you demand high pay, they would rather go for local if they can afford.
I think that's the reason they look for malaysian, will try to nego a bit see can press higher or not.

is your wife going to work as well? how bout the future? going to build a family here in SG?

Yeap, my wife will follow me to work here as well. She has her own profession in medical line which is very easy for her to secure a job.
At least stay here for 2 years, if we like it here of course stay here permanently and eventually build our family here.
Else just go back to boleh land if still has chance to go back  biggrin.gif

ok. seems like a good plan.
the salary definitely need to be higher. at least be more than 5-6k sgd imho

I have 8 yrs of experience, 30 yrs old+
I might sound a bit desperate, but I have been searching for an offer for almost 1 year+
None of them offer more than SGD4.5k.

There was once I almost took the offer, the HR also a malaysia, he told me they will go for local to save all the hassle (paper work, permit, worry you can't survive in sg...etc) if they willing to pay higher package, no point to look for malaysian. Unless that person is extraordinary, very talented.
But at the end I still reject the offer because that' what I thought, too low and no extra allowance.

Now another half a year, I am still getting the same range of offer, with some allowance, and this is the job scope that I kinda prefer, hence I am quite tempted now.
*
8years exp on this field, hmm..
you still can survive in SG with 4.5k+allowance, but not luxury i think sweat.gif

The job offer letter will be provided only when the work pass is approved, right ?

actually u need to accept the offer. and after u officially accept the offer,
only the company can help you proceed with the working pass thing.

at least in my case is like this.

I'm trying to schedule up another interview on the same day if possible. Will proceed with the interview if there's another one so that I can save on another trip, otherwise I'm probably going to reject this one.

I have checked on AirAsia and found a return flight of RM200+ on the same day, considering from TBS via KLIA transit will be roughly RM280+-. Taking bus will be around RM100-RM130 only but it will take 5+5 hours so it seemed to be quite tiring for a day trip, and also excluding the immigration side might take another hour or so.

I have also checked on Agoda and it almost cost RM200 a night for accommodation, seemed too expensive from my budget hmm... Anyway thanks for your recommendation!

BTW wondering if anyone working with a Japanese MNC in Singapore please give some info about it (Lifestyle, culture, etc), I'm trying not to group the entire "Japanese Culture" a bad tray of eggs just because one of the bad egg I have tried. But so far from a few of the review I read from glassdoor for the company I'm scheduled with seemed to have the same kind of problem I faced before.  doh.gif

accommodation try search in AirBnb thumbsup.gif
