maybe if both of u married and submit as a couple got better chance.

sien man this mom even reject renewal of employment pass these days

my colleague lor. 4 years in the co kena reject. wth man.

they are appealing for her la, but i tot such renewals is a confirm thing. so disruptive if true.

philippines. i suppose that has something to do with it.

i dunno. i really dun understand why they assess renewals the way they did. it makes companies go through the hiring process and training etc. so much for productivity.

shes making 5 to 6k as a manager in a bank and has a degree. so thats why i am very surprised

senior associate ah?

about 4.3k sgd. before cpf allowance

most big 4 give the cpf that is supposed to be received by PR and citizens as an additional allowance for u.

ie for the Pr, the cpf of maybe sgd600 is paid to cpf.
but for u, they give it to u as an allowance. so you might home salary + 17%

at least that was during my time 4 year ago

paternity is not bad. govt mandatory is 2 weeks only.

now is a bad time.to transfer back with myr having temporary strwngth. suggest wait till returns back to 3.1 post CNY

it will and it must, eventually.

Singapore MAS uses currency exchange as a monetary tool to manage inflation, so it must rise vs MYR. If SGD doesnt rise against MYR in the long term, its essentially their monetary policy failing.

And we know these smart scholars don't fail.

the 2% per annum appreciation has held for the past 20 years, no reason for it to stop.

haha most economists reckon malaysian ringgit is a big part of their basket of currencies (which apparently is trade weighted, and malaysia being one of their largest trade partner). its the exact share, and what the other currencies are thats up to debate.
