3000 pieces of rm 100... 2 rim of A4 paper, still can keep it in a hand carry and hug it all the way if you want the cheapest way. Survey few banks TT rate, try to negotiate a better rate with the sum if you got other relationship with the banks.

I heard my fren say SG wanna build a priority lane with MY at the custom.

The cost will be around $600 per mth or $35 per day (to and fro)

Once paid, you no longer need to stuck in the jam everyday via the 2 causeways.

Driving will only take you less than 10 mins from Woodlands to JB city even on peak rush hours.

All sifus here can advise what is the cheapest way to transfer big amount of RM to SGD?

Do illegal unofficial money changer service. Here lots of SG elites like Markiddo, FionaChn, Lester9987, Seanthng every month probably collectively change 6-digit sgd back to myr. Arrange with them to meet at halfway point between buy/sell rates, win-win situation lo.

Well I am not paid by China company but Malaysia company .... I am quite under pay and oversea allowance can't help me forever ...

I am not planning to stay in China for long term too ... According to my experience ... I don't like here ... Food, activity, people etc ... With my pay ... I can't even afford one toilet bowl here ... Houses ? U are looking at around 1.5 mil and above ... One master room ... One walkway which only can fit one person ... One toilet ... Condor ... Whole house is like 2 normal room size in Malaysia ... Btw I am in Shanghai ...

Cost of living in Shanghai is as high as Singapore. If you were sent to China with Malaysian pay confirm gg. Housing in Shanghai is almost as expensive as Singapore, will surely overtake SG within the next 5 years. Problem is they do not have HDB, so the people there are getting paid lower than in SG, but need to buy house at SG private housing prices

Furthermore their income tax is high. My income tax in Shanghai is 25%, but when i was in SG, my effective tax rate was about 2%

I first came here as a fresh graduate so the allowance is very attractive but after 2+ years my basic is as steady as a mountain. Other than that I have no life at all ... Work eat shit sleep repeat ... But I do manage to save lots money but meh ... I will choose family and life ... As long as I got a job with normal pay I am eager to leave here ...

If you go to Singapore its also going to be work eat shit sleep repeat, unless your family is here. So you might want to reconsider.

I am not that far from home if in SG ... I can have life I want ... Gym, movie (price is 1/2 in Malaysia), lepak lepak is good enough ... I don't need much ...

In China ... Gym membership is like loaning a Myvi ... Atleast its the pricing for gym around my area, really surprise me and their facilities can't even compare with malaysia's Gym...

I have my super bike waiting for me in my hometown ... I can go anywhere as I like even its just weekend ...
But in the end ... If anything happen, which really happen a lot recently ... and I am not with my family ... I won't take any risk for that ...

Just do it then, you should be quite young so even if SG is not the final destination there's no harm

Just keep applying, there's no secret formula to getting a job in SG
Start lower if you're willing to work your way up
