I just checked. 15% on gross income or 22% on net income.

and the 22% also for those who is in the top tier. Last time resident tax rate max out 20% now 22%.
If you back to MY once in a while don't really need Digi?

I using umobile, just make use of the grace period (2 months). So it will be alright if I go out to M'sia like once every 3 months. If go JB then I reload RM10 then it will extend another 2 months. But within the grace period can't call/sms only can receive. No problem receiving SMS for Maybank haha

gross income hmmmm? dont really get it

If you are talking about the KTM JB Sentral - Woodlands CIQ, those 5:30am to 7am schedule are normally sold out, 30 days in advance. Other time schedule still can purchase as not peak hour

Guys, I wanted to change my SGD to MYR. Which place do offer attractive prices? I do a quick Google and found this Raffles Money Change Pte Ltd. the rate is quite good...I was wondering if there is other places with better rates? Thanks!

Thanks for that.
2.5 hours in total. I guess if start work at 8.30am then will be worse traffic? And have to suffer the jam with vehicles exhaust fumes compare to those crossing in cars with aircon.
Tough life.

I've been commute jb - sg via motorbike for a year, and i'm working at jurong island, start work at 8am..
Usually morning reach the Woodlands checkpoint around 5.20am, and would clear from checkpoint around 5.45am, then will be reaching jurong island around 6.10am.. i then take a nap at office..
Tried going out late around 6am reaching the checkpoint, result is reaching office 5 minutes before 8am.

Finished work at 7pm, would reach Woodlands checkpoint around 7.30pm, end up spend around 1 hour 30 minutes to clear the checkpoint normally, and sometimes reach 2 hour.
Now i always use Tuas checkpoint for going back to jb, as normally would stuck at Tuas around 30 - 45 minutes, but would taking a long way to reach my home for using 2nd link highway. But i think i prefer longer way than stuck in a traffic jam. mega_shok.gif

Spotify. Getting it for "free" as part of the telco plan bundle. Otherwise Apple, coz I'm deep in their ecosystem and it's one less account to deal with. smile.gif

Edit: Maybe try both to see which one you like better? Their algorithms for music recommendations are rather different.

Regardless i am educated white collar worker, i think some ppl will just do their calculations and will make their decision whether to cross everyday or just spend a bit more to stay in singapore to have more life.
Some ppl might have the question as me and i hope i did a favor for them by asking this.
Not that i am going to move to jb soon, but in near future maybe i will consider. Just wanted to know the options.

Thanks for the very useful info. Salute to you and those who travel everyday just to earn a living to support family.
For me, I guess i would opt for longer way too.. than stuck in traffic, inhaling those vehicles exhaust fumes.
Bikers are meant ride.
And seems like your working hour is longer?

If you are external contractor could be as low as 12-14 days. Direct employment normally 24-28 days. Then add on a few volunteering days, family leave days, childcare leave, etc -- can easily add up to 35++.

Disclaimer: I am real estate negotiator, not bank employee.

it might still end up the same for number of "off days" if you take into account the number of PH between MY and SG.
