provided with the security in Singapore... the money is well paid for...

Isit. I still feel pain leh when paying tax.

I've a few questions, hope I can get some advice on it:-

4. What is a comfortable salary range for Malaysians working in SG? Is 4k acceptable?
I mean, without spending much on luxuries.

Btw, I've submitted almost 20+ resumes before landing this job recently.
Good luck to job-seekers out there!

Thanks! 

Sorry can't really answer your previous questions... i think it is best to wait till you have the approval before commencing.

with salary of SGD4,000 ... it is pretty comfortable without lavish spending...
my experiences for occasion fine dining and normal meals cost only $800/month...

the rest you just need to plan out...

That's what I intend to do, but I'm only worried if there's any repercussions...
Then SGD4k is ok I guess, not a lot but good enough...good to know  .
Yeah probably still needs a good planning and budgeting..

I've a few questions, hope I can get some advice on it:-

1. How long does it usually take from EP application to IPA?

2. If you've signed / accepted the employment offer to start work in August but
have not yet even received the IPA, are you required to report for work using the
social pass?

3. I understand that it is illegal to work without EP or any other passes, but does
in-process of application count for anything?

Wow dude really? Doesn't it annoy them? well if we think other way round it sounds you really want the job . Well what i meant is actually i sent my resumes to many company once, this month probably i have sent around 40 plus resumes equals 40 company few Singapore base.

Well if i got the job i can consider abt place to stay. Where did u actually applied? Is it recruitment firm. Any info you can payung me?

1. i think a week or so, personal experience the whole process (from application - getting IPA - medical - getting approved EP) takes 2 weeks.

2. You cannot work legally without at least IPA

3. You need IPA minimum

4. Very subjective. Do you share room? Do you need private bathroom? The main cost of Singapore is accommodation. You should live comfortably with 1k per month.

A week, I see. Thanks for the insight. I guess the thing to do now is wait.
I was thinking of renting a private room but never thought of private bathroom.
Private bathroom usually comes with master room right?

How about wifi and mobile? Did they ask for deposit?
Are we allowed to install Singapore's equivalent of Unifi at the rented room?

Well, commonly is HDB Common Room or Master Room (with private bathroom)...rental varies according to areas...

Usually wifi will be provided together with room rental... else you may negotiate with the landlord...there's ISP provides contract free internet...
Depends on your work permit... Telco may ask for deposit in some cases...

If the unit is fiberoptic ready... you can install up to 8 internet services... sorry to say...Unifi equivalent??? nah...it's 100 times Unifi...

What do you mean annoy them?
He meant send 200 applications to 200 different positions
Not apply for the same position 200 times
