Need to qualify this a bit hor. These 3.7k starting salaries are typically limited to the "big three" local unis (NUS, NTU, SMU ... and nowadays I guess SUSS). Grads from other local unis or colleges, or from foreign ones, are generally lower.

Prepaid cheaper cos of CIS ba.

My StarHub plan now is around s$44/month for 500mins talktime 500sms 5gb data, 21mths contract pay s$0 for Huawei p20 pro. That's s$924 for 21 mths of usage plus a flagship phone, don't see how prepaid can be cheaper.

Woops typo, I meant postpaid cheaper if you have a good cis discount.

What 55665566 means is that the buy myr sell sgd rate in SG is still 3.01, so there's no reason to bother exchanging at the same rate with you.

Times have changed. For those of us who came over many years ago, 1-3 days EP approvals was the norm, only once in a blue moon some poor chap will get 1-2wks delayed approval.

I got your back bro http://bfy.tw/NWoL

Nowadays no more q1 p2 p1 split. Or maybe internally at MOM still got, but in any case publicly no more split liao, EP is EP.

Which bank? Last time I opened DBS account I vaguely recall only needing to show IC, Passport and copy of the EP.

Most of us don't bother answering you because after going through life we realize that planning excessively far ahead is useless because life throws you tons of curveballs.

Like for me when I first started working I bought a Savvy and told myself OK based on my projected earnings growth I will sell the Savvy 5 years from now and buy a Mazda Rx8.

Guess what, 12 years after entering workforce my salary still only sgd5k a month and can't even afford car anymore.

Anyone looking for place to stay can check out this new property portal:

It's more on your wife's immigration status I guess. If you don't register your marriage here I'm not sure if you can apply for any sort of dependent or LTVP pass for her, no? (I'm just guessing cos I'm too lazy to google it).

Any of you experts in buying SG - JB train tickets?
a. Is the easybook website basically the best place to buy online?
b. When and what time do the tickets open up for sale? Seems to be maybe 8am, 30days in advance?

standard la, I had the same sh*t in bedok last time. Nice seats to chill out at void deck but KNN literally hundreds of cig butts on the ground.

SG is clean not because the population is clean, but because of the armies of FW's employed to clean up every day / week.

The most accurate answer, in SG context is ... neither. SG classifies the populace as Foreigners, PR's, and Citizens. For example, from employment of foreign manpower act: ""foreigner” means any person who is not a citizen or permanent resident of Singapore"

So when government announces stuff and says it is for "citizens," you (as a PR) are not included. Likewise when they say "foreigners," they normally mean tourists, work pass holders, LTVP holders, etc ... you (as a PR) also not included

The right way is to get your company issue borang CP21, then go LHDN office to gaudim your 2019 tax clearance and temp close your file. Then no need to worry about Malaysia tax at all until u decide to quit singapore and go back.

The lazy ppl way which lots of ppl do (including me) is to do nothing. Next year do your Malaysia borang BE efiling as usual and claim back your excess PCB. 2021 onwards declare 0 income every year*.

* You still need to declare all those non employment income derived in MY like rental.

Same like some ppl 20 years in Malaysia, go to study in US/UK/Australia tak sampai setahun already full blown angmo accent.

CNY always like that one, unless you buy like 1 year in advance or are able to fly many days before and/or after, sure mahal gila.

Such vague question how to advise? You think we all psychic can read your mind? How many years exp? IT doing what? IT helpdesk?
Anyway bolded part, are you earning like rm10k, then now getting offered sgd 4k (i.e. rm12k)? If anything around that then don't bother coming.

If you kena retrenched or tak tahan boss and quit, you don't have to gtfo back to MY after 30 days.

SG license can convert back to MY one.


If you renounce PR then yes.
