Didn't know they do cross border.

Most of my friends (Malaysians) started off around $2.8k in Singapore as civil engineers. So that ballpark would give you an idea.

Though I don't consider them low at all.

need some advice,
i have about 3.5 years of working experience in Malaysia and now i got a job offer in Sg with 3.1k SGD
does it acceptable?
by the way..it is a 1 year contract job (renewable) and is in IT field

Hi guys,

This is my story so far. For the purpose of keeping my confidentiality, I created an account to voice out and seek for advise and opinions on what should I do.

I am 27 years old this year. I have a bachelors degree in accounting and finance from an australian university.

I have roughly 4 years of working experience. About 1 year in Malaysia and 3 years in Singapore (currently).

I am holding an employment pass and I am looking to apply for PR for the 2nd time.

I worked in a small audit firm in Malaysia for about 1 year and now currently working in an audit firm which has about 40 staffs for 3 years as of today. It is my first job in Singapore.

Now the issue is applying for a PR in Singapore under my current company. My boss put a clause in my contract stating that if I apply PR under this company, upon approval, I would have to serve the company for 3 years. I am in a rush to apply PR because I want to start a family with my wife to be and quickly buy a HDB to settle down. The new PRs are said to need to wait for 3 years before buying a HDB.

Problem is I think I am not too happy working under my boss which I think is very calculative and kiamsiap(stingy).

I am earning 2.7k per month now. I am 27 years old. The yearly increment is only 100 dollars. Normal bonus one month only. I feel like I am going nowhere with this.
Furthermore, my company has no benefits at all. I only have 10 days of annual leave per year.
Work is very stressful. Boss doesnt appreciates even old staffs. Colleagues are nice and friendly?

I tried applying jobs from jobstreet for the past 6 months. I sent so many out until jobstreet gave me a warning. There are no replies from any of them. I start to wonder if its because I am not a PR? or something wrong with my resume.

I want to know if I am underpaid for my field. I feel very low compared to my other friends as they got promoted in their jobs, get big fat bonuses, so many annual leaves.

Should I apply PR in this company and serve the 3 years? or should I postpone my plans and find another job and apply in other company? I am already 27 and I feel like I am going nowhere. No house, low pay, and etc.

What should i do?

Hey, guys. I would like to look for a room at the region within walking distance of Boon Lay MRT. I had search through online website as well as relevant fb page, however I did not receive any response yet.

Hence, I wonder is it Boon Lay region has less housing area compared to Jurong east (which I saw a lot of advertisement) ? May anyone clarify me on this ? Thank you.

how much agent fee he charge? half month? thanks

Please convert.

Think he's asking if you want his agent's details so you can contact the agent

Sorry for my misinterpretation of info. Thanks for your pm, I had received it. Btw, how much is your rental ? Have you paid for the agent fees ? Tq

How does it feel to live in a Malay family? Do they have a lot of strict regulations? I had a very bad experience previously when rent and staying with a family, such as no shower sounds during late night,...
Is Malay family in Sg more tolerate ?

Actually, I get the contact from the PropertyGuru. So, I think they are supposedly landlord agent. Furthermore, the rental is also same with the advertisement they posed. So, I wonder they may only wish to entertain me whenever I reach Singapore. What else can I do ?

Yupe. But I will enter Singapore only June. Morever, I may refer to HR for any corporate telco package after I joining company, so I may not getting my Sg no. so soon.

Hi Seniors, want to ask for opinion, is boon lay/bukit batok/chao chu kang a safe area to live in? I went to look for accommodation in Boon Lay/Lakeside/Chinese garden but seems like boon lay has fighter plane noise problem (during day time), while i read bukit batok has rat infestation. Lakeside seems nice but prices are very steep and not many allows cooking:'( should i look elsewhere to rent a room? If yes, which area would you recommend? Greatly appreciate any advice!

PS: will be working in Joo Koon, don't mind 30 mins of travel time to work.

i almost signed a 1 year contract for a room in 13th floor...i measured 66dB (similar to descending from air asia jet engine) on ground floor, and 85dB on the 13th floor when the fighter plane fly past...luckily i went and investigate in the morning and found out...else i'll be pulling my hair everyday ><"...no im working normal 9-5...

Wah I'm not prepared to commit full time in sg, so the only way to secure a work pass is through full time :/ ?
