Employers match 17% immediately though. That is an immediate 185% return in investment, not to mention the yearly interest from CPF.

Depends on your priority. Do you desperately need the cash now, or can you afford to sit back and watch your -20% monthly turn into a gold mine ?

1. PR children get cheaper school fees.

2. can buy hdb after 3 years if both pr

3. can change job easily. EP like myself find it hard to change jobs.

4. alot of free or disciunted fares for museums etc.

Is there a law in SG that for a PR couple that buy HDB after 3 years cannot have a property under their name in Malaysia or vice versa?

Anyone can confirm this?
*
i believe the rule is that to buy a hdb, you must not own any other property.

but after you already own a hdb, you can buy other properties.

hi all, I would need your advice as I am in a dilemma now.
I had been working in a multinational company now in Malaysia for almost 11 years.

Now my friend in SG is giving me an opportunity to start-up together a company. I will have a certain percentage of share for the company, but the salary is almost about 4k SGD only. Should I give up my job in Malaysia and try out this startup company? Or just give up and stay in my company now? The new company also requires me to travel to both SG and KL.  blush.gif

whats ur pay in malaysia? i feel startups are failing left and right, so, if u're adventurous, can still try la, but if not... better to stick to mnc

Personally... I'm just finding that repeating the same activities over and over again is getting boring.

I assume that typical activities at Klang Valley are not much different from in SG. The only thing I can see is that, in Malaysia it's easier to have excursion/road trip away from city over weekend.
*
it is not the activity, bt the circle of friends. if u have a great group of friends, even the most boring activity is fun. if u have no friends, then anywhere u go is boring as hell.

Yep... Im chinese.. btw what u mean special privileges?

Hmm but then banks and Insurance very different woo.. if i tak sukak I go back already my career different ..

My plan is to work in SG as long as possible, say 10 years? Not sure if I work there 10 years my health will decrease by 10 yrs too since will have no life..

singapore is super super awesome to save money. personally i managed to save about 35k per annum on average so in the past 7 years I am here I got about 250k sgd (i still curse for sending back money when its 2.5), so now we have money to go back malaysia, put downpayment for a nice landed house in PJ and find a more leisurely lifestyle.

if only i had the mental capacity to endure a few more years I would. but too bad, i am already emotionally at my breaking point, so its time for me to call it a day, time to go back.
