Hi, so you mean that we could not purchase any duty free goods from changi to malaysia? I am planning to get a carton of cigarette when I am going back Malaysia from Changi. 

Hi all,

I recently just got transfer to Singapore as permanent employee and just signed the offer letter. My company provide me 2 weeks hotel as relocation assistance, but I'm thinking to find a room now if can, Can I rent a room using my offer letter or must I wait for my EP to be approve?

Thanks in advance!

Oh I see, okay....thank you so much for your input. I will survey around first then only proceed to rent once EP have been approve  Thank you so much!

Walaoooo. Just came back from POSB The Centrepoint branch. They required sgd3000 for deposit liao.

min fall below fee applicable >3K as well, if not wrong. unlike years back only 500

It's true for DBS. I'd assume it's true for POSB as well.
Nope, it's applicable.
It's <3k.
Yep, I get charged the fee before. That's why now tend to keep the money in Singapore instead of Malaysia. Which is also why I prefer to pay with my SG debit card and get stuck with the recent introduction of Pin and Pay in MY.

as i can see from POSB website, non Singaporean or PR can only apply the multiplier account which has to maintain minimum average balance of $3k to avoid monthly fee

Foreigner (SP/EP) holder they will give SPEP account.

POSB Savings – SPEP Account  S$2.00 per month S$1,000

I also just discovered this last month. Tio charge last 2 months coz now mainly using OCBC always keep below 1k in POSB

I think yours is SPEP acc. min fall below <1K

Yes, my POSB savings' fall below fee is 500sgd.

Depends on what type of saving accounts.
Since you have maxed out or almost maxed out the 60K in OCBC 360, where else do you park your funds if you do not do any sort of investment?
