QUOTE(knwong @ Feb 23 2017, 12:13 PM) 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 Perfect. Thank you!Been driving like that for more than 5 years. No problem, never get asked or stop |

I'm gonna assume the keyword is "residing in Singapore". =)"Driving Licence To drive a vehicle in Singapore, you must possess a valid Singapore driving licence for the class of vehicle that you want to drive. This requirement applies to all citizens and permanent residents of Singapore and also foreigners who are residing in Singapore for more than twelve (12) months."

Not sure if someone can help me. I am considering to apply for jobs in singpore and was wondering, what would be a good base to put as my 'expected salary'. For positions and companies like EY or Deloitte as a Manager in Advisory?

The interest difference is like 40 times. i.e. $4 vs $0.4 something like that So... That $2 fall below fee actually also not much compared to the interest given by OCBC360 |
