First time working and coming to Singapore? Patience is virtue

Convert some money to SGD first. You need $500 or 1000 sum to open bank account next time

why though? 

Could be just difference in terminology (using mom terminology, "work pass" = work permit, s-pass or employment pass). Clarify with him lo.

Well work permit usually got levy charges, if he willing to pay is fine, or u r expected to pay ?  some china company is like tat

No matter how, this make u get lesser salary than market rate.... As company may cut from ur salary....

Yeah, you will be looked down upon in society 

Work Permit for unskilled immigrants (those ppl who work as maids, etc) normally got limitations like can't marry Singaporean or PR and can't get pregnant otherwise SG will ask you to GTFO; but these limitations are normally waived for educated hires.

Here and there you might find some inconvenience with applying for loans, credit cards, etc cos some organizations treat WP vs EP differently.

If I'm not mistaken, Work Permit holder not eligible to apply for PR (but normally you need to work few years before applying anyway, so there's time for you to find a new company that will do an S Pass / EP for you if you want to use this one as a stepping stone).

You could opt for telegraphic transfer (subject to limits) from Malaysia bank to Singapore bank.
Think your best bet is from MBB to Maybank Singapore. Dont think there's any free transfer.

Cheapest way is to bring cash over in person, but not recommended.
Or exchange the MYR with your Singapore colleagues/friends/family.

A lot of it dependent on how the other items are allocated / other factors.
Accommodation can reach as low as S$400 if you're willing and someone is available
to share a room with you. Like travel expenses can be reduced if you rent near to workplace
and walk directly to work.

So, maybe:-
Food:- S$450
Travel:- S$100
Mobile:- S$50
Then
Accommodation:-
S$500-600 (private room, there are locations which this price is rare)

You don't have much to save that's for sure with S$1.2k
1.2k have deducted savings I assume?

He's carpooling I believe
