Hello everyone,

I recently took a job offer at GF Tampines. Anyone else here working there? Due to certain reasons I'm only able to stay in JB and not Singapore. Any one can give an estimate on what time to leave daily for work?

Also, any recommendations for SIM card/bank account? My E pass is in progress.

i tot GF has shuttle bus from Johor

Unfortunately that's for shift workers. So no choice there. I'm normal hours, 8.15- 5.30. Will be driving in and out. No bike lesen 

lol, u crazy to drive every day? vep $35 daily + tolls + erp. on jb side, tolls too. how much they offer u? u will be spending $40+ daily for vep & tolls alone. haven't include parking fees (if any) & oil yet. let's say u work 20 days monthly, $40 x 20 = $800 (rm2400+). either u carpool / public transport / bike is the answer (if u insist staying at jb)

Never used remittance service by the money changer. So not sure about their service but You can use either DBS remit or transferwise. Both of them have a very good rate (close to market rate) and the fees are very low. I prefers Transferwise because they have more currencies available to transfer your money not just for SGD. I used to live in US & UK for years and this is the service that I used to transfer the money back home. So far, they are really good, fast and user friendly.

ps: You can register from the link below for Transferwise if you are interested. I'm not working for them btw. haha

Thanks. But Transferwise is reliable? Because usually will send by large sum. And is it able to send to any bank?

Off topic: this Singlish usage of the word 'ever' annoys me more than the rest, not sure why
Anyone else feels the same?

Err...I think "can" is more annoying. Not annoying per se, but well, it's like a signature.

Can?
You mean something like "Can you do this?" replied by "Can"?

Yeah...

"Can, can, no problem!"

"Caaannnn"

"Can."

Something along the lines. I find these quite endearing and somewhat annoying at the same time. I don't remember hearing that much can when I was in KL. Or maybe I was using "boleeeeh" most of the time.🤔

Hi guys, I have recently gotten a job in Sg and have obtained approval for EP.

I need to ask where can I perform the medical check up in JB?

As I know from employer, EP applicants can do medical check up in JB.

Which line you are in? mine dont need medical check up.

My EP approved form has a medical examination form which needs to be filled up. I just got this approval recently.

Yeah...

"Can, can, no problem!"
