But then I heard it is very troublesome when you are going to sell the car in the future.

Tax saved is so much? I thought tax is like 10% of the car price only. Or the excise duty also exempted?

LTA should charge triple ERP for cars that have no passengers, only driver. That will control the traffic and make the roads more efficiently used 😂

Maybe I will try to ask LTA if I can drive in.

The most important thing to bring in is actually my computer hardware, with monitors and what not.

So I think at the same time I can bring everything in.

I am planning to not enter with my IPA yet, just drive in as a normal short term visitor, after I drop my things off then I will go back to Malaysia the next day.

What other trouble do you think I might run into? Would it help if I ask someone else to send me in?

be careful.. officer may stop you because you not yet a singapore resident.

Social visit pass carrying electronic goods across the border will raise unnecessary suspicion.

Actually, not so easy to drive across the pond these days with Malaysian car requiring approved VEP application. 
Can't you buy the Monitor in SG? and cpu hardware can break into carry on luggage bag then bring it with you like that.

No need car but it's up to you. Me personally, I think it's too troublesome for common goods like monitor or Pc parts and you are opening yourself to questioning from officer.

Hi, recently obtained a software developer job. Company is based in Singapore, while I from Petaling Jaya/Kuala Lumpur.

I am planning to rent a HDB unit.

So some questions I have:

i) Let's say I need to be in office 5x a week on weekdays, is it okay to travel back lets say every weekend now that borders have reopened? Tiring and expensive or not?

ii) If let's say I can negotiate and allow myself to work from home, and once in a while only need to go office, can I work from my house in PJ/KL?

iii) Use what mobile plan? I will still need a mobile line in SG and will be renting a HDB unit as well. Will travel up and down between Malaysia and Singapore very regularly (family reasons)

iv) Any other concerns I should be aware of?

Thanks!

Uni time before airasia expensive but also airasia not expensive? Don't so understand that part.

Oh usually those familiar faces taking the same flight weekly, why do they do so? Why did u do so? For you and them, is it mostly family/business related?

Also I saw this news on Lowyat.net that day (https://www.lowyat.net/2022/276286/firefly-resumes-flights-singapore/)...but when I checked the Firefly website, its not cheap also

Wow, RM1k to and fro, so RM4k+ per month? Did u book the tickets in advance? If book the tickets few weeks before, its gonna be more expensive than few months before right, for example?
What about those flights like Firefly? Saw on lowyat news that it resume again. Depart from Subang airport is it?

just joined finance industry a year ago.
Before that not much avp in dept in previous employments…. now, avp abundant. Lol
Was told finance industry dun pay aws generally but since it was still quite a hike per annum (I guess I was seriously underpaid), I accepted
Will google around…..hahaha

Hi fellow forumers,

I am planning to transfer to my company's Singapore branch, planned for early to mid 2023. I'm planning to bring my dog over as well, and already have contact for professional pet relocator.

However, my concern is the ease of finding rental where the owners will allow medium sized dog (14kg). Will be moving with my wife and child, so 2 adults, 1 child and 1 dog.

Anyone had experience in finding rental properties with pets? Office will be at Paya Lebar Square, so properties not too far from Circle or East West line should be fine. Rental around SGD3k should be fine, or SGD2k+ if further from office

Thank you

Thanks! Are you living in a condo too? HDB seems to allow bigger local mongrels now, but don't think that will apply to mongrels from Malaysia  Do you happen to know any good property agents. so that I can also engage them when the time comes?

Thanks mate! What is the general FD rate at the moment? Is it around 2-3%? I check online. But heard from friend he is getting around 4%. Couldnt find this kind of rate online.

Payroll and residence in Malaysia.

I'm considering further my study in master in HSE (safety).

NUS' master is sgd 44k (non-pr) / 38k (pr) weekday evening class while UTM in Skudai only cost  rm15k, weekend classes.

1. Wonder anyone taking master while working in SG? If yes, master in SG or MY?
2. Will a master degree from MY helps our career progression in SG?

Agree. After some research, there are similar master degree from UK (Uni. of Aberdeen, Rm 80k, online distance learning) including MY (UTP, Rm 35k, weekend) that can be considered.

As I am just too old to invest Rm140k for master,  likely will enrol in UTP (Msia) for weekend master degree. For youngsters, no doubt a master from NUS or NTU could be a good investment, especially those in finance/banking.
Sgd 44k is for master by coursework. PR is 4k cheaper if not mistaken. By the way,  the fee will increase yearly.
