im wondering is it okay for me to drive my parents car into singapore if the green card is under their name but not me?

drive in only just need to apply for the autopass if you do not have one.

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!

You will need your EP to be approved first, then you will get a letter (IPA) which can be used to rent a room
But of course you can start looking for a place, and only move in once you get that

U need the IPA...
But still, u can survey around to find the best place to stay in...

Where to get this?

Also I guess there's limit of alcohol to bring in to Singapore? e.g. 1 L too?

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!

Let me know if you want to go through an agent
I can recommend the guy that i used when i moved to SG, very nice and professional guy
Standard agent fee which is half a month's rent

Anyone here uses a Singaporean debit card at Malaysian petrol stations the past few days and had success with paying for petrol at the terminal without keying in PIN? My DBS debit card is not PIN-enabled apparently, tried using my ATM PIN and it failed. I had to resort to using the credit card instead. Called up the bank's customer service and they insisted that I don't have to use a PIN and when asked when they are going to embrace PIN and pay they had no idea.

Was wondering the samething also, if my SG CC can use in Malaysia after the pin requirement

Ok great, will contact you if I require. Thank you in advance!

I am considering getting a job in Singapore(currently working in a startup), currently having 2 years of experience as a Swift developer. (No portfolio on Objective-C, no problem in reading but very little experience in writing).
May I ask what is the market rate for a 2 years experience in a startup and what companies I can check out?

Hi, medium firm probably? As I've only have 1.5 years external audit experience back here in KL and am now attached to mfg co. as internal audit officer (for about 5 months).

Why don't use your Msian debit/credit card

When using S'pore CC in M'sia the spread for exchange rate varies a lot. On top of that you'll incur 1% cross border charge.

The convenience is hard to beat for me. =) I don't mind paying extra for it. But I guess it's gonna be Malaysian cards for the time being.

Btw, anyone here still drive a Malaysian car with Malaysian driver's license to work in Singapore after working there for more than a year? I've read something about mandatory license conversion or something before.

If you monitor the extras that you are paying, IMHO it's not really worth it even though banks throw in the 5X reward points or Cash Back. Unless it's business expenses then I'll spend anyhow


Been driving like that for more than 5 years. No problem, never get asked or stop
