Another way is to take train. Sleep in train the whole nighy and u reach KL in the morning.

actually taking train is not a bad idea. KTM first class pretty comfortable. I've take train countless of times although not in recent years. Hardly any delay. Can enjoy reading a book through out the journey with kacang rebus.

Been here 6mths didnt know there was a lyn community. Anyway with the way msia is going seems like more msians are gonna come here.

Just a reminded working culture here is more competitive and if you join some mnc's like accounting big 4 prepare to suffer for a few years. Msians get treated like crap from what I've heard from a friend who is currently working there.
*
funny coz I feel pretty ok all the years. nothing much to suffer, work is work. Singaporeans or Malaysians all the same to me. probably I'm in a small Co. , that's why.

Mind sharing how to calculate tax for non resident? i started to work in August this year and received SGD3.5K. So 3.5K x 9 (Aug 2015 - April 2016) x 15%. is that correct? how about tax assumption?

What if that employee who got blacklisted decided to appeal face-to-face or in writings with MOM personnel if he/she decided to be employed in Singapore again, do any good?
*
nope. and I doubt there is a F2F appeal option.

Experience? If office hours like me, surely be tired. Morning out from house at 5a.m. and evening time guaranteed stuck in jam around 1 - 2 hours. Not to mention inhaling all the fumes and smokes from all other bikes when you stuck in the jam, and if it's raining well bad news. But still i choose to ride in daily  hmm.gif

really depends on how much you value your time and health. there is a price to everything.

You are really naïve. That is a famous Singapore forum that discusses porn, sex & vice activities.
*
huh? Sex avtivities, porn & sex? Sam's Alfresco Coffee Shop forum. Ain't it something like LowYat forum?

We don't dictate what you do, but refrain from discussing sex site in this forum.

Hi, all I am currently working long term oversea in China ... Plan to come back to Malaysia ... As I want to take care my family so I am planning to get a job in Singapore ... I have close to 3 years experience in software engineering ... Currently hunting for job ... I plan to switch my programming language too because I am currently using ancient language... Don't mind to start fresh ... Tried monster and jobstreet so far no luck ... Any suggestion ?

Working in China can hardly be use as 'leverage' in your resumè. Most of the time ppl work in China is to enter a less competitive market and draw a higher salary. Some of which failed to complete or going no where it other places before going China. And yeah, Sg is a hell a lot more competitive.

Hi guys. Is there any places like LowYat Plaza or Digital Mall at SG. Tried to google, but dissappoint...

the good thing about Sg compares to Marehsia is you can get a pretty good deal on IT stuff at the shop in your neighbourhood mall. Shops like Challenger, Courts & Harvey Norman.

To be frank, I rather buy and pay a little bit more like $50 on electronics. The after sales service and service centre is so much better and professional compared to malaysia.

True. Also with 'lemon law' customers have better protection. Reminded me that I actually returned a Belkin electric socket after 2 weeks of purchasing from Courts when I found out it's cheaper ordering from Amazon. No problem even when I told them the truth. Try do it in Marehsia.

So how much salary you think can afford a car ?

Wat is 30/24 ?

Yeah damn it, just check the sgcarmart, used car oso super exp, somemore all loan cover 50% oni

I cannot opt for taxi claim, becoz this new job required us to standby for emergency , need to react fast, so taxi might not be suitable
Thx for the idea, i check it out

COE alone is around $70k, which mean each month almost $600 goes to COE rclxms.gif

Is actually depends to individual

I value my life than working

So i aim for efficiency and go home when after office hours

While lots of my colleague stay back OT even they have little or nothing to do

My sentiment exactly.
Finished work just leave, if can't finish on time means doing too much already.
