QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ Nov 19 2015, 04:12 PM) Isit? I have a hsbc ac as well but didnt see it. Maybe i shud explore tht as well. DBS is also free for the time being (until Dec 2015), not sure if they will extend that since most of the banks (CIMB, Maybank) is free. |

QUOTE(LovelyPotato @ Dec 8 2015, 10:51 AM) On a related question, I have a CIMB account in Malaysia and would like to apply for a new saving account in Singapore, do I have to put in any deposit in SGD for the SG account? Or can I directly apply a new one and remit directly? (Or can I even skip this step? Since I've already had a CIMB account, not sure if they operate separately or together) 1. Go to CIMB SG branch and open an account (you will need some $$$ in SGD ($1000 ?), EP, Malaysian IC etc) - both MY and SG account are 2 separate accounts.Summary: 1. Have CIMB Malaysia Account 2. Would like to register SG account 3. Do I have to put in deposit in SGD/remit from Malaysia account? 4. Can I skip step 3 if I already had a Malaysia account? 2. After getting your online code/ password/ dongle - you can link both MY and SG CIMB accounts (or just set MY account as favorite account in the CIMB SG) 3. Transfer money from SG CIMB (SGD) --> to MY CIMB in RM (with CIMB conversion rate - transfer is instantaneous) - never try sending RM --> SG, so I don't know |

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Jan 18 2016, 03:28 PM) SG PR kentut also more wangi than Malaisian lo. Of coz more points lo, wah lau blue ic leh, better than the green one. True or not ? I only know once take PR ... 37% of your $$$ can see cannot touch and every year minus this, minus that  .QUOTE(LovelyPotato @ Jan 18 2016, 04:22 PM) But wouldn't getting a PR from Singapore and then apply for a PR in Australia makes them feel like you're a country hopper? I don't see any extra qualification points on their website (married, children, Aus degree, ielts, etc) for SG PR, maybe you found something different do share **so called Permanent Resident but doesn't reside there permanently Kidding aside, does getting the PR really helps? Because I am planning to get few years exposure in SG just taking working visas then move to OZ and apply for their OZ PR, if it does helps then I might consider taking the SG PR  . On another note, why don't you just go direct to Aus ? If you are less than 32 there is a holiday / work visa thingy, not sure if that is still available. |

QUOTE(LovelyPotato @ Jan 19 2016, 09:13 PM) Wanted to live closer to Malaysia first as my family is still nearby and get more working experience first. After I climb higher in career then maybe I'm bringing my parents over to Australia if possible, currently still don't have the capability yet haha. That visa is half a year if you cannot find a job. A friend of mine use that to get over there, job hop a couple of times and is now a PR there.Holiday/work visa last for only about half year so not really suitable for my case. |

QUOTE(deadravel @ Mar 10 2016, 10:31 AM) means that every month pay rm30? for 1gb data only? hmm I am using Umobile postpaid, RM28 + 6% GST monthly, 3GB + 50min talk time. Summore have free 50mb in Singapore daily or something, but I haven't tried that. If you switch to U, note that pay deposit (RM200 ??) for roaming or show them your previous telco you have roaming. still seems expensive. at most 1 month I only back Malaysia 1 time. few days spend in Malaysia only |
