My boss is finally back from his leave after 2 months and I talked to him about my intention to move to SG and been actively looking around.

He said he will do his best to make me there and if that happens, that's the best. I have all the relocation package and whats not. Let's see what he can do while I still continue searching around. laugh.gif

Is it ok to start working with a company tat does not gv out offer letters? I just found a job as accounts assistant....the pay is meagre 1500 only, now i just worry if its ok to work with them without any letter stating my benefits?

The next thing on my worry list is juz whether my wp will be approved or not sad.gif

Worth for it meh to go so far and only earn 1.5k SGD? Unless you are a JB-ian? unsure.gif
Or the company covers all your expenses? unsure.gif

Like my cousin also earns around 2k but he works in electronics factory, at least accommodation and meals provided.

I already reply.

Anyway, how do you guys maintain your Malaysian bank accounts so that it does not go dormant? Do you guys purposely go to JB to deposit or withdraw so that it stays active? Do you guys still maintain your Malaysian addresses? Or, are your letters all re-directed to Sgp address?
*
To avoid bank account from being dormant, can just simply transact RM 1 or anything in and out via online banking.

I'm leaving my job as medical sales executive to go back to Malaysia.

**PM me for the company name if any of you want to know the company name**

Couldn't stand the chinaman company, with boss and wife management.
Micromanagement and everyday scolding their stuffs.

My common room at Toa Payoh is available for rent from March onwards.
Do PM me if any of you / friends looking for common room at this area. smile.gif

Cannot find another job in SG? Pity you. Micromanagement really sucks. sad.gif

Ouhh..okay..but seem quite hard to get shortlisted if I didn't apply directly to the company.myb if directly past my resume to the company still hv chance to be call.but thanks for your advice smile.gif

I'm not sure how SG companies work but I'm a HR in a MNC in KL. Honestly speaking, on and off we have a lot of people walked in and dropped their resume to our receptionist. Then, the resume will be passed to me eventually.
Sorry to say, I will just have a glance and after that will shred away.

Somehow these people gave us an impression that they are really desperate for a job and probably not in the top quality, hence didn't get offers via other channels. That said, those CVs that I had a look were really no good...

No offence but this is just my thought. You could be different from them but I will not suggest you to waste your money to travel down South to look for a job via that method.

Try hunting from online first, like jobsDB, Monster, JobStreet and etc. If they are keen in taking you, they will call you for phone interview and if required usually on the last stage, they will call you to go to SG for F2F interview. Then, only you travel to SG. smile.gif

But he still has income for last year right? Rightfully he should do, to claim for all the reliefs and what's not.
That's why for our company, we enforced that all leavers exiting from Malaysia must do tax clearance before leaving country, then only we release their last drawn salary. Then, they don't need to file for income tax before 30th April.

err hi, means no matter how much the income we still need right?
is it possible to do all this online ? thanks a
i think my salary not in the tax range also..below 3k

Can be done online, e-filing. It will be up on 1st March.
Well, if you did pay PCB last year, you should do. Even if your salary was below 3k, let's say in the month which you received bonus, then income for that month will be high. Do you have a tax reference no.? Usually starts with SG.
You can try though, I started paying income tax the day I started to work. sweat.gif

I'm using dual SIM card phone now, one for my personal and one for my corporate line.
So for my own personal line, I use the native WhatsApp app, the corporate line is on another app called - Disa. Easy peasy, problem solved to have two WhatsApp accounts in one phone. biggrin.gif

I'm wondering what field is that and the salary offered is pretty low. hmm.gif

Since my first job didn't go through, I thought of sharing it here, it was a 4.3k basic pay before the EPF allowance thingy. Anyway, it didn't work out as I cannot join them that quickly that time and other factor too. It's a HR position in my case and of course it's not a 1:1 case for me vs what I'm earning now in KL, around 6.5k.

I'm still looking around though I have been very busy with my work. I'm now in Philippines for business trip. laugh.gif Maybe I should find one job here. laugh.gif Just joking, I don't like the public transport and infrastructure here.

First job still OK, worse comes to worst can find another job.
For those resigned and kena ffk-ed really terrible, imagine all commitments may be affected.

Get offer letter from them.
