No. Thats just one of the many theories. It depends much on your experience, education asking salary ,the employer themselves and also your luck.

Lucky you have a potential referral. If the company wants one, then that could be good for you.

I wanna ask,

nope..just pay toll and the upcoming road charge/vep.

i'd say having a local number will help, but only to certain extent. With all the other factors being equal, one candidate has local number and one foreign number, i'd be inclined to call the local number first, that's thinking from employer perspective.

Anyone commuting from Nusajaya to SG in daily basis ? How's the traffic flow at Tuas checkpoint compare to Woodlands checkpoint ? I still can't decide whether to rent house at JB or Nusajaya..

you will have a slight upper hand compare with one who does not have a local number. i did purposely get a sg number before going to SG to find job

is it really necessary to stay in jb and work in sg? it is really tiring to jam at 2 customs daily, you may need to wake up very early everyday just to beat the jam and reach office on time.

At the moment, that is the only option i have. I'm planning to bring my family together with me. I can't afford to rent 1 hdb or condo at SG

Then I think the question you should ask yourself is ... why? Why bother uprooting yourself and planting in SG when you can't afford to have your family in the same country as you?

I got 2 agent contact, I bought my medishield , life insurance, travel and early illness with them. They do saving plan too.

If u r serious , I can pass you their contact or I gv them ur contact

Thanks. May I know which company did you get from? I'm just thinking to have a saving plan ATM, but possibly getting others too in near future once I can have better idea how's much expenditure would be like.

I got contact of agents from AIA and Prudential too last week when they approached me but I didn't ask much since I was in rush.

They r frm PIAS insurance and prudential

Let them explain to u, so far their service to me quite ok

I think there could be any reasons, but we don't know which one. IMO, one of it is due to market condition too volatile and uncertain. I would think best to ask your manager/HR directly for an answer.

Replying on referral only: Anyone that has direct relationship other than employment can't be your referral (For employment), however relatives/family and friends can be one good indicator that u have someone locally which increase adaptability/reduce risk failing to fit into SG environment.

Agree one this.

I am more interested to know why they rejected your application. If its company side then that is okay, but if its your application side then I am not sure if it makes any different.

about 1hr to 1.5hr per way from bukit indah to say jurong east, depends on how skillful are u or your driver.
festival time could up to 2hr to 2.5hrs

today was exceptional good, 1hr reach bukit indah

I am not that familiar with SG insurance plans, but generally insurance company saving plans are merely subpar...
If you are looking for places where you can grow your wealth, I suggest unit trusts...
Of course it will take a bit more effort but the return can also be higher...
But it is really up to you...
Just don't be deceived by large amount of payout upon maturity...

Talking about getting the number. Does they sell their number via prepaid? Or we need to provide supporting documents to obtain the numbers ?

Yes, prepaid number need Ur passort for registration

At least that's my exp 6 yrs ago

Then I go change name to permit number and finally PR ic

Still using same no......

Or u can jus ignore the prepaid after u get Ur pass, and directly apply for a postpaid line

Currently I'm just a Malaysian without EP yet, thus is it still the same requirement on getting prepaid number?

Postpaid? Even a Malaysian can just purchase one right away?

High risk high return, low risk low return. Insurance want high return today you buy tomorrow accident .

Yes, as I say u will jus need a passport for prepaid

Jus like when u go overseas holiday and get a sim card, they will ask for Ur passport for registration too.....

So no EP is not a problem


Postpaid really not sure , at least I nvr heard foreigner (without a valid pass) allow for postpaid ...... u get expensive plan and run away how....
