Does anyone know if we need to submit our birthcert for SG PR application?

I left my birthcert in my hometown in malaysia and is unable to travel back at this time to retrieve it.

Is there any other options? Can malaysia embassy help such case?

Whats the purpose of doing so? They will still come back and ask for it right unless doing so can cut down some waiting time while i sort out the missing document.

Another question is, what if I have submitted my PR application but along the way I change company? Do i need to redo everything from the start?

Thanks bro!

Anyone know how long does a company need to post a job offer to local before it can be opened to foreigner?

I heard some say 2 weeks but some said 1 month

have anyone changed their job recently? if so, how long does it take to transfer our existing EP in our current company to the new company?

The HR told me that I don't have to tender and cancel current company EP until MOM approve the new EP. We can wait until they get the new EP approved only then I tender resignation thereafter which is safe however they told me that it would probably take around 6 - 8 weeks time.

I spoke to some friends that holds EP as well and have recently changed to another company, they shared that it only took them like 1 - 2 weeks for the process to be completed.

Anyone know if its good enough to get 21% increase jumping from one company to another?

I was told this is the industry standard and they have a system to control all these new hire increment.

Im in IT industry.

Btw how much is your friend making annually to get the 45%? Im talking about approximately more than sgd200-300k plus earners. If we’re in this range then 45% would be a super huge jump.

Not to say impossible... but ive heard a lot of MNC compensation & benefit team have this benchmark tool/formula to make sure they're not overpaying a candidate just because they know someone hence the reason why they're always asking for your payslips.

Sad but true.

Mine was renewed 3 years. Originally when I got the EP it stands valid for 2 years only.

Thanks all for your replies... I'm also planning to apply for PR within this year... the only thing stopping me is that I left my birthcert back in Malaysia...

Hi all,

Anyone know if company place us on garden leave, can we buyout the garden leave like how we normally do it with notice period?

I noticed that the new contract rates are not as competitive anymore hence asking if anyone know any better provider out there, do share with me please?

Thanks all!

Hello all,

Anyone went back to Malaysia recently? I am planning to go back in November, can anyone please help to revalidate my steps below;

In Singapore;
1. Uploaded and applied my vaccination status on MySejahtera, currently the app is displaying "Fully Vaccinated".
2. Have purchased flight tickets
3. Have scheduled for RT-PCR test in Raffles via their mobile Raffles Connect app (will test 3 days prior to flight)
4. To apply for home quarantine 7 days prior to flight date: https://hso.moh.gov.my/outbreak-portal-hqa/index

In Malaysia;
1. Upon arrival in Malaysia airport, scan MySejahtera QR and fill in the form. Once submitted, it will show proof of submission. Subsequently, open profile page, it will show HSO (Home Surveillance Order) - Guidance obtained from: https://mysejahtera.malaysia.gov.my/traveler_en/

Did I missed out any steps? Do I need to pay in advance for the RT-PCR tests in Malaysia airport?

Thanks everyone!

Go to this link: https://mysejahtera.malaysia.gov.my/help_en/registration/

Choose i have received my vaccination overseas and would like to obtain my digital cert in MySejahtera.

Prepare your SG vaccination cert as you need to upload it during the application.

Will take 1 day or less to get the result.

Good luck.

Lol development on the tax.. what a joke

Guys, need ur opinion, ive been working in SG for quite a number of years as an EP, and im in my early 30s now.

Im evaluating whether to relocate to KL or stay in SG and apply for PR. Reason why im thinking is of course be connected to our parents as theyre getting older, live a much more quality life (car, malaysia geographical size/space, house size and more) and of course im planning for a baby as well soon, which means without all those things its going to be inflexible to me.

That being said, Im thinking if i were to relocate to KL, and they can pay me somehow close to equivalent of what Im earning in SGD, then i’d definitely make my way there. Also KL may also be less competitive than SG in terms of talents , etc and it may be faster for me to climb my ranks there, me myself is in within the senior exec role already in SG… i know for a fact SG have a lot of FTs with highly qualified individuals and very smart people there.

But one of my close friend asked me to stay put and apply for PR first before making any choice to go back because it may be harder for me to go back to SG and apply for PR in the future.

Now im wondering if I should apply for PR first then move back or what? But if im not mistaken, PR have to stay for a number of years in SG to maintain it otherwise it’ll be revoked.

Im earning like 200k sgd per year and im afraid malaysia market may find it difficult to match it as much but i dont mind to sacrifice ‘abit’, and I’ll give it a shot… thinking my industry may be able to level it closely…

I still plan to go back to SG one day once my kids grown up a little.

Whats your thought? What will u do if u were me?

Thanks guys!

Thanks for sharing! How does the earnings transition from SGD to MYR affects you and your husband after spending like a decade in Singapore? I have applied for the PR regardless, my thinking is that I can't wait for the KL opportunities to come by only then I'll make decision so I plan and wait concurrently. If the PR approves in time then it'd be perfect for me.


RM500k-600k... dont mind to have slight reduction.
