If you don't sign the offer, the new company cannot apply EP for you right?
I'm not too sure about SG because this is the normal practice in Malaysia if a foreigner hops from one company to another company.
Also there's a grace period during the transition provided the new application is already in progress.

You know the way you asked sounds scary?
If I were them also will ignore your post.

Suddenly I'm like losing hope, my last call (2nd call) was on Friday, 18th.
The HR who's the recruiter said he will let me know whether it's positive or negative. My Singaporean friend was saying it's holiday season, so asked me to be patient...

Knowing my expected salary is higher than what they can offer and the urgency of this role to be filled a.s.a.p., I know my chances are pretty low though I'm confident I fulfilled nearly all criteria of the position.

I guess I will follow up again after New Year but I'm very thin faced, not willing to show my desperation.

Thanks for the advice.
Yeah, I will wait till they come back to me. After all, this is not a junior position, so I still have to jaga muka a bit.

Yeah, even I'm also on two weeks break now.

The Company offered me 16% of CPF allowance.
If dollar to dollar comparison, I'm losing around 1k. But of course if convert, that's different story MYR 10k more than I'm earning now.

My current company in SG is also giving 5% as CPF allowance and when I heard this company gives 16%, I went
What a surprise!

Changing a new company or new role?

Wah, good guess! Close to your estimation.

Thanks for the attachment, appreciate it!
Now I have a better feel of salary range in SG.

I must stop dreaming... Like no hope already.

Still waiting for their decision. They need the position to be filled up soon but I can't and my expected salary is higher than what they can offer. So yeah, that's about it, I didn't put in much hope though. Let it flow naturally.

Yes, at least I still have my current job. Hehe.
Thanks for the wish!

Yeah lo, mine is too easy to be guessed.

I'm OK.
Really see fate lo.

You can find from indeed.com, it consolidates all the opening positions in one site.

What did you mean by the bold part?

Err.. Salary has nothing to do with MOM I guess unless you underpay someone that means below regulated minimum salary?

Wait, I don't understand about this part: "they take 80% of your current salary figure, and pay in SGD." So, where did the 20% go? Pardon my poor English...

Anyway, I'm also in HR, so I'm curious to know as well.

Yes you are right. However 4k in Malaysia is really nothing. I bet a 3k fellow in SG lives more comfortable compared to the fellow earning 4k in Malaysia.

Actually like the HR guy asked me the other day, why did you want to move to SG? I told him, actually SG is just one of my choices. Not necessarily that I will land in SG eventually, but my aging parents and so, I don't intend to go that far away from them. So, SG is still my preferred choice.

Oh well, I can go to China too if I want to despite I'm not a Chinese ed but my Chinese has improved tremendously these two years that I can be a translator for my bosses. My bosses in China want to hire me in Beijing and albeit the air pollution, I like Beijing a lot.

To come back to the guy's question, I added that I just want to get out from Malaysia and being exposed to other countries when I'm still possible.

Really see no hope in Malaysia unless I'm an expat here.

Just received a bad news, they decided not to pursue with me.

OK, time to look for another job.

Hopefully... Tonight start hunting again.
