Thanks for the advice. wink.gif
Already delay for a few days, now it's very moment and I need to go for the paperworks.
benefits from both sides seems to be no different. And Software tester seems to have no travel opportunity most of the time.
IMHO, I think software testing gets more career advancement, as he gets to test on all processes like ATM, bank statements, new software applications. I think software tester in bank has more opportunity to transfer his skills to any company, right?
On the other hand, PM role in the insurance company required high degree of education and knowledge of business processes, and ability to articulate system architecture. Drafting user manual is also part of the job scope.
Someone in a dilemma, and need more experienced sifu to advice. unsure.gif

the key point here is do not let them know CONVERTING TO SG license. smile.gif

They gave me a form to fill in order to get the extract. That form did not have a checkbox for license conversion.

I did not tell them what reason and the lady did not ask me fortunately.

At the end of the day, extract is what we need. Get it and leave faster.

My friend's license got blacklisted when he told them for Singapore license conversion.

When they blacklist license they will issue a letter not just verbal warning.

On that letter it is stated clearly that we choose to blacklist the license on our own action for Singapura license conversion.

If roadblock no worry because i dont think they have rules saying Msian with SG license cannot drive in Msia.

All these muthapuakas in Bolehland you have to deal with them with some intellectual. mega_shok.gif

Unlike here in SG, my passport size photos in red background got rejected. Everything follow requirement.

i think for your case now is do not let them discover you are holding sg license

Not really true for every case. Should be case per case.

I got friends who worked 1 year in MY but programming field, joined SG later fetching ~4k.

Handsome pay compared to mine doh.gif

hi guys, how is your experience in renting room in singapore?
Will you prefer to stay with house owner or renting from a main tenant?

I prefer without owner, even if they sometimes cook, wash your cloth and iron for you.
