For me, any decent job offer is good..than jobless.

Any of you from Sabah, Sarawak or northern Peninsular? Have you guys booked the tickets home for CNY? I see that the flight costs are unbelievably high, and getting fewer.

You so sure you are still working in Sgp in 2018? I scared no more ticket for CNY 2017 if buy later even though I haven't yet started. Even though it's already expensive, it will increase higher later, or worse, no more ticket.

Worse come to worse, I will just pay for changing the date of flight.

Anyone knows if it's possible to take train back from SGP to Prai? What are the stations to board and where to change train (if any)? I heard it is not a direct train.

I have already checked. There is NO direct train. From Woodlands, have to take 3 different trains and total traveling time to Prai station is 13 hrs, assuming no delays. Meaning I wud need to apply extra day leave for just traveling! Early morning travel and night time 9.30pm only arrive in Bworth, not even home yet. :-(

Yes, Wdlands to JBS, then JBS to Gemas, and from Gemas to BW. Long journey. Won't be in time for reunion dinner. Have to go one day b4, which I don't want as I don't hv leave.

Serious ah? Don't scare ppl lar. Is Yishun's crime rate as high as JB, although I don't know what is JB's crime rate? Do you feel safer in JB than Yishun? Also what do you mean by weird stuff?

It's ETS direct, as per the KTM schedule. If take bus, will get stuck in CNY road traffic jams. But yes, I agree that every option have its pros and cons. But I don't like buying ticket from Larkin. Got cheated before. Bought ticket last time and when go there, they tell me no bus or something. Have to wait another few hours to get another bus and some more not to the destination I want. Will forever be a bad experience for me - Larkin.

There is no more night train - no such timing appeared in the KTM schedule.

Thanks. But the train schedule is it reliable? I think sure got delays...so you can't buy your ticket cun-cun get-off-one-and-get-on-the-other. Sure in the end 14-15 hours to reach BW.

If you are jobless now, it is better to get S$3 -4K than nothing, even tho you may be getting RM10k b4 jobless.

Yes, thanks for sharing.

Anyway, just checked the flight cost. My return flight now costs over S$800. 😬😬😬

Your example is not realistic. In the example given, I think S$4k is still acceptable becos if translated to RM, it is still about RM12k, which is higher than what he earned at RM9k or RM10k. In this case, you ignore the cost of living. I am trying to say S$4k is still justifiable. If it's just S$2k, then maybe not.

I know of real cases like what I was describing, whereby you can accept a job of S$4k, even though you were earning RM10k. It actually doesn't matter he was jobless or not. He could very well be jobless, but even if that's not the case, if he really wants the job, I am saying, it's not inconceivable for that guy to accept the job.

I was shocked to find Expedia more expensive for the same flight - RM3000. Almost fainted when I see it. 😂

I haven't seen the IPA yet. What does it contain? What does it say?

I think there is declaration option also, whereby no need to go clinic.

1. For EP holders, is the employer supposed to provide life, PA and medical insurance coverage, or is it only for those WP holders?

2. Does your landlord need to register you as tenant before you stay- or is it okay to register after you stay ?

So, it means I can go stay there first then only the landlord informs HDB. ok, thanks.

The MOM does not require the company to provide medical H&S for EP holders. My company also doesn't provide. 😭😭 so sad, no coverage. Does SGP income tax provide tax relief for insurance premiums paid by tax payers themselves?

Looks like no medical insurance premium relief.
