If you work less than 180 days in singapore, you will be charged 15% flat rate.

Anyways, you need to register and get your Singpass first. I wouldnt worry about your tax until your 2nd year working in Singapore.

Better u take bus from jb larkin. 35ringgit only. But getting there, you have to cross the checkpoint. It could take you 30mins to 2 hours depending on human traffic.. At least you dont get held up by the white card holders. Which is usually why buses departing from sg is slower.

I use rentinsingapore.com for my first rental.. by far, the cheapest place to find good rent. I did comparison last time, at least 10% cheaper than nestea, propguru etc.

Easy for you to say and judge other people..

Some families both parents have to be working just to survive. Not everyone is a high flying corporate banker who bring no tangible benefit to society whatsoever..

Those technicians and hawker family will need to send their children away at some point.

It isnt so much about how much money they make, but their time.

Do you know how hard it is to run a hawker stall? Wake up at 5am go back at 6pm or later.. usually it is a couple working together or even the grandmom and grandfather also working there.

So, how? Who gonna jaga the kids?

Maybe you are privilege and lived a sheltered life to not notice such things. But your statement that dont blame the kid for sending their parent to old folks home is not a fair statement and there is are cases where both parents have to work for their livelihoods.

Ya, anyways, thats in parenting thread la. Not work in sg which tbh, we are all on this island to make as much money as we can.

I too believe in one parent to stay at home. But then, I wont discount daycare as a good option too.

Given the tens of thousands of people who cross the border everyday for work, wouldnt it make sense to build an aircond bridge for humans to walk?

It will be like walking an airport terminal. Have some travelators in placed for convenience.

You cant look at direct impact. Indirect impact would be more tourist willing to go to msia. And sg benefit from having kuli msian labour.


Besides, not that hard to implement a ticket system to cross the bridge. It certainly beats waiting for a bus or driving over the causeway due to traffic.

Ask yourself. Are you really saving by doing this?

Maybe you're over the top and actually only take a flight to kl once every 6 months.

So those looking to be granted pr next year, the charts look promising.

This was last years report. In 2030, they are predicting 2.3 adults to support one retired singkie down from 4.7 adults in 2016. Not good or promising odds at all.


Ultimately, granting PR is one necessary measure to address Singapores declining population growth
You can thank sinkies for this.

From the report, you are more likely to be granted a PR if you are:
Female, aged 24-45 and hold a pass.

There are 30,000 pr slots issued every year. And it seems this cap is not hit. So there is a very good chance you should be issued one if you apply today.

Sometimes I think Msians are even more kiasu than sgreans. lol, havent arrive yet but already thinking of which the best phone plans etc.

Wah.. free ticket on cny

Amazing.

Might aswell save up the money and go buy private.
Resale and private not much difference anyways.

Please better you dont join.

After ur salary 14k sgd per month spoil market only.. sure cant win job company fold and close shop.
