1. Answer my own questions. I found out OCBC does not charge any fee for cash withdrawal at Msia. Only forex conversion. So I don't plan to get a OCBC Malaysia ATM card, only the SGP one will do. Cimb does charge a fee.
why bother ? just changed $300 ( most of the money changer min sum ) at singapore before back malaysia. you will got your cash and no need visit atm.
2. Anyone signed up for the Digi plus RM5 Sgp plan? 
promo already passed. no more RM5, it will be additional RM30 for the 5gb and 100min.

3. Does your HR ask you guys to help fill the employment pass application form? i hope it is not that difficult. Otherwise may need to ask you guys.   
wont be hard, just like how you fill up application form as it consist all your personal detail

1. I don't plan to use money changer in Sgp. Anytime I go back Msia, I will hv ATM card to withdraw. Don't want to bring so much cash when traveling.

2. I still see the RM5 Digi plan - still have. They even advertise in Lowyat advertisement banner.

3. Ya, after looking at the form, it is quite easy. They could have filled it themselves, with our resume given to them already, except for 1 or 2 info. But some info is company's info which HR will need to fill themselves.

I am not referring to that one. I am referring to the postpaid RM80 and then just add RM5 for the Sgp package.

Not single question asked

Why don't just take SG plan , Ur company didn't subsidize ?
Edited
*my experience with Umobile roaming, certain quote in a day, exceeded speed throated to min. Which u can't online at all, speed very instable day in day out, fastest I got 47, 42, 33, slowest is around 0.2 to 0.3 for 90% of the time, u can imagine the difficulties I faced

At the end really gv up, take m1 my sim plan, almost $100, got almost 30GB data
*
agreed, very very bad for umobile.

SG telco is better.

M1 5GB just $20 with 100min, why bother with data roaming ? biggrin.gif

Strangely the Digi staff never did not explain on this to me. Anyway, according to her the Sgp line is with Singtel, and not Starhub. Looks like I need to clarify with another Digi shop.

Anyway, on another subject, when you guys to to MOM for thumbprint and interview, did they ask you guys a lot of questions? WHat sort of questions they ask?
*
data roaming speed always slower than singapore telco speed. dont be suprise sometime then data roaming network is down for no notice. biggrin.gif

tip for you: just subsribe a M1 sim only plan , 100min 5GB $20 per month. hassle free

And the M1 data plan can be used (as in coverage, without additional charges) within Msia also, is it? Is this prepaid?
*
Only M1 prepaid can. The rest definitely need to pay data roaming charges!

The M1 sim only plan you mentioned - 100 min, 5GB data - is this prepaid or postpaid?
- the 100min is only for local calls within SGP?
- if I want unlimited calls to Msia, which telco has it?
*
yes.

dont have unlimited call i think.
