Haha perhaps. Its like a tiny western town center.

any idea, if the unlimited roaming extended to sub-line?

Apparently not. The subline has to be upgraded to principal and also pay the full 158 minimum to qualify. But if it is any consolation, the newly upgraded principal can be grouped under the original principal account and be paid by the latter. Say in my case if I upgrade my subline it would be 158+158.

Plus a few KTV bars

Question: Get my PR for almost 1yr, do I get to choose to opt in for 20% CPF contribution? or will need to follow the CPF rule?

note, thks for the clear clarification

You can choose not to apply PR for your sons now and ask them apply on their own terms after 21 under the 1st gen PR scheme.

From what I've heard, the choice to bump straight up to the max CPR contribution depends on your company since they will need to match up to the max too
Someone please correct me if i'm wrong here

Ya they will, my parents' case, my brother got his PR on his own application after working. As long as you don't rip the PR's benefit for your children like cheaper education and healthcare then its fair for both side. Once you start enjoying his PR's benefit and revoke his PR when he is 18 to skip NS then no need to hope will grant PR or EP anymore.

That is not what he asked, he is referring to the max 20%/17% right away after 1 first year
Instead of stepping up over 3 years

I believe this is on agreement with the company, since the CPF law is 3 year step up

Ah but if you are west Malaysian. Even if you renounce pr you can't take the money till you are above 50

Does B definitely hiring you or still have to go thru hiring process?

yes it will and have a very very very high chance (like 95%) EP will reject by SG govt. last time my experience, i join a company for 1.5 months then quit then join a new company. Straight EP reject and company appeal, reject again and govt ask the company to write a letter to state why skill set / experience i have and why they are insisting to hire me.

not the best experience, all those took 4 months to settle and 4 months being jobless is crazy for me.

I think you can still request B to submit for the EP application while postpone A offer letter submission. But since you're in the final process of interview, it will take some time and maybe A will retract their offer also

But always bear in mind that the job after B may be even harder to get EP approve.

Actually I don't think it's that complex if you already start work at SG

Because the process when you change jobs under EP is
1) You have your existing EP at Company A
2) New Company B apply for new EP for you (you do not resign at Company A yet)
3) Once new EP approved, then only you resign
In the even new EP is not approved, then just keep working at Company A

I'm not sure why the other guy above resigned first before having his new EP approved...that's a risky move

Anyone tried calling Citibank to waive your card annual fee?

I use the PremierMiles.

Oh I see, sorry I didn't notice the first line where you said you're on EP already right now

Yes the new company's EP application will go on while you still hold your old EP
Old EP is only cancelled on your last day of work at the old company

For your case, I think just delay the first offer kao kao while waiting for the second offer
Won't reflect too well on you to join and leave within the first month (my opinion, some people might not care about that)

That's not a problem
As I explained earlier you dont need to resign before they apply for a new EP for you, so nothing to lose even if MOM doesn't approve

Post wrongly

Yes
If company B cannot manage to get your EP approval, just stay with company A

Same thing applies when you move to company A, only resign at your current company once they get your EP approved
