Most if not all the people here earn "6 figure income" ....after conversion to MYR..

6 figure income monthly? That's a lot!

Don't guess or judge lo.
Those were my personal opinions only la. Everyone has their own reasons.


Meanwhile, my yesterday's story still has no continuation part... Awaiting my email before I can make a decision ma to accept or not, so that can proceed to next steps.
Being a MNC, I guess he will need to have discussion with the hiring manager. I'm also in MNC and I know hiring someone couldn't be that easy. (I'm just convincing myself)

They still do on and off. See your luck.

Don't know. Seems like he taking SG salary while based in MY but good time over. His SGD KL pay can win managerial position leh don't play play. Aiya, don't scratch people's wound leh, no need to say out not competent enough to take high salary right. Blame sky blame earth lo, now EP blame SP system not fair, get PR blame many gahmen aids to SC, after SC blame gahmen policy for FT friendly etc etc, but forget look in mirror.

Clementi and Bedok. You see hordes of people in the morning and evening peak boarding and alighting. That is your common residential area.

TQ. Had a quick look in propertyguru, Archipelago and Eastwood Regency macam within my budget. Any opinions on either one? Need a place for one jer. TQ in advance.

Hi Guys. I'd been working 6 years with MNC company. Thinking to try something new abroad. Might got a chance to work under S'pore NUS but yet to confirm. Any idea how was it? Also, how they evaluate the salary range? Is there any difference when compare to foreigners like us?

Archipelago is quite far from the MRT though. You'll need to take a bus to the station.
Tampines is also another common/popular place on the East West line.

better to check if there is direct bus to nearby ur office or smtg...changing bus/line like so tiring x.x

thanks for the headsup!

To All Bro and Sis here , after reading the border crossing difficulties face by fellow Malaysian (some probably are Singaporeans). I sincerely advice rent a place in SG rather to face the miserable daily crossing.

I have been all the while supporting the idea to stay in SG instead of traveling , especially if you are working in SG pay 1,500 above please stay in SG.

Let me compute :
Daily borders crossing about SGD 3 * 20 = 60 SGD
Your per hour pay min 8 SGD * 20 * 4 (hours travelling) = 640 SGD

That's easily 700 SGD value , infact we shouldn't place monetary value on lost hours it is actually way way much higher , time wasted can't be earn.

With 500 - 600 SGD can have a common room around outskirt , probably closer to your work place.

With budget 200-300 SGD can have a shared common room , definitely choose closer to work place.

Not only save on traveling time , able to be more relax and spend more quality time for yourself , further more can earn more by during OT or Odd jobs !

If concern about daily cost usage bring in food from Malaysia : Tuna , Milo , Bread, Biscuits , Fruits ; either way can refresh every week while going back for groceries shopping , actually if wanna save the hassle eating at the food court around outskirt area still have 2.5 SGD noodle and rice , 4 SGD Zhi Cha comparable what it is in JB (because I know you guys will go have it at Wong Kok , Ajishen , Daore , old town ... etc etc.. )

It would be a different case for those who drive in and out daily. Above suggestion are those travelling via Bikes and Bus / walk....

Only thing to hinder this idea , is when you have a family , it would be more sensible if both are working and combine income > 8k , then is easier to have whole family in SG.

Please do not waste your time to save the few hundred dollars , isn't worth your health .

Don't be hinder by low pay and general job , i have always encourage my colleagues who are clerical or jr executive level to go ahead with their application , especially they are serious to stay put for a longer period , so far success rate is quite high .

As long working in an office environment do go ahead !

If annual salary 6 figure not so hard to achieve

Lets say 110k / 3 / 13months = 2.82k

U dun even need EP to reach tis goal

Totally different if 6 figure is monthly salary

Need to salute to those

Rephrased. How much to live comfortably in SG (as in can go shopping, eat in decent places, movies, the occasional branded bag or two) and still have some savings?

Eh this is not lowyat.cn la

living a miserable 5 days as a working slave ..... might as well enjoy your stay here .

该省就省，该花就花
Don't be penny wise pound foolish


I know alot of Johor-Kia drive nice car back home , and restaurant every weekend , because it was 2x that time and 3x now !!
But have forgotten they only enjoy their ride and meals only during weekend , so why spend your daily commuting miserably.

U need at least 2 to 3k for own expenses in sg

So accept nothing less than 9k

Shouldn't you benchmark against your qualification, experience and position you are applying for .

if just a Bank Executive ... how can anyone advice that ?!

Thanks. Much appreciated.

saw it in recent aec news.
but guess most pipu worked in sinki can read mandarin, at least a bit
