my favourite is cimbclicks as it transfer the money instantly !
i recommend bedok, as i currently staying here.

Pros

single occupancy around 600-650 i believe

Rentals for HDB drop also, but not as significant as condo. In 2011 my rental was $2.3k, 2013 $2.2k, 2015 $2.0k.

*Ehem* which lorong?

Just kidding biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
1. But increment and inflation higher in M'sia. Good and bad...
2. Super agree. I won't be worried walking out along the road 3am in the early morning. Not so in M'sia.
3. Everywhere I agree. Punctual biggrin.gif biggrin.gif Why not we say more frequent? Also the bus apps here is awesome!

1. increment higher in malaysia? depends.
inflation higher in malaysia? i think almost the same compare with sg. just that most thing in sg is way cheaper compare to malaysia

3. yes. more frequent. the iris apps. AWESOME.

Normal increment in SG range from 2-3% but in M'sia, it's not hard to see 6~7% increment per year basis. Probably to cope with inflation.

Nah inflation is not the same. I'm not in the finance industry but just based on what I "feel". Everytime I on holiday back to M'sia, I can feel that prices are like increasing exponentially. Just take one plate of fried rice. I think the price in KL has probably gone from RM4 to RM6/7 in the last 5 years. In SG probably still the same price at the same store or maybe just $0.5 increase.

IINM, few months in 2015 SG is actually experiencing deflation instead of inflation. biggrin.gif Not sure
*
ya.my previous company was so kiamsiap that they only give me 3% ... while my other company fren got 10%.
so i said depends.

the increment and inflation in my opinion is very hard to compare.
u see la. SG earn 4000, buy chicken rice $3. MY earn 4000, buy chicken rice RM6.
lol. how to survive in MY doh.gif

Just use CPI index, a measure of inflation by government. Can compare between each country.

If everyone quote chicken rice, houses, car in their example in this forum - it's going to be a never ending argument

No tissues? I waited until i receive my EP only open. Carry 2k cash for quite some time. First month salary come in as cheque lagi haha
Here not like M'sia. Here most other banks require deposit. Only POSB/DBS don't. But it depends IINM. I didn't pay a cent to open my account.

When I open account, I give EP but the counter staff asked me to give IC instead. Don't even need my passport.
biggrin.gif I thought same person reply to his/her own msg. 2 pikachus in this thread...
If more than 183 days, SG Gov consider you SG resident (not citizen, just resident. Not PR too). Then they give you lower tax rate (resident rate). Otherwise if you stay less than 183 days, they tax you 15%. This is so that you don't suka suka come in and go. Most probably for manpower control.

I think such rule exists in other countries too.
I always use dual sim phones. One sim M'sia one sim SG. When needed only on the M'sia no. Can receive FOC. Umobile + Maybank.
*
ur umobile always on roaming here in singapore? so it can receive msg from bank in malaysia?
im using Celcom, izit any diff?

Ya always on roaming. Roaming no charge. Receiving those SMS also no charge. Receive personal SMS and calls I'm not sure biggrin.gif

No people call me on the number d. I only on the second sim when I back to M'sia or when I need to use M2U.
