QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ May 19 2017, 11:51 AM) No la singapore is very nice. Old ppl work because they want to. There are alot of facilities that are well maintainrd and you can get alot of pretty singapore OL as your friends here. Life expectancy of Singapore is 10 years more than Malaysia's. Wah lao how much of 10 years of life worth?Work stressful is because of ability issue. If u are a real talent, work is not stressful de. Can even lim kopi in ur free time Malaysia on the other hand is such a crappy place that everyone wants to come out. Sgd is 3x okay. 3x is like sgd3x. Or short for s3x.. Singapore is awesome. Singapore is better. Dont talk shit about singapore ok. We love SG! |

QUOTE(alexis2power @ May 25 2017, 12:19 PM) Hi Fiona, Can I check with you, me & my wife both of us are PR, can my wife give birth in Singapore? If can, my child would he/she be automaticly grant Singapore PR or can he/she apply for Singapore citizenship? The child will be issued birth certificate here & what is the next procedure? QUOTE(deodorant @ May 26 2017, 06:54 AM) yes you can give birth here Why quote me no your kid cannot apply for citizenship (singapore is not a jus soli country) your kid doesn't get automatic PR either, you have to decide whether you want to apply for him/her etc anyway after you give birth, you apply for a singapore birth certificate for your kid. then u take that and apply for malaysian birth certificate at high comm. then with that yih apply malaysian passport. Most answer given at the reply. The nationality of the child is to follow either one of the parents. Can give birth but will be more expensive than Malaysia, and after that need to find nanny or family members with long term visit pass to come over to take care of your wife and baby. And harder to get those herbal food your wife need to eat. Actually I don't know why I chose to give birth in SG. So expensive SG birth cert just to say this baby born here only. Go embassy apply Malaysian birth cert with MY citizenship. Then you either apply PR for the baby, not sure about SG citizenship, or LTVP for the baby to stay if don't want apply PR. |

Too many foreign engineers that can work cheaper faster better. If compete with them sure lose out. QUOTE(BoT@k @ Jun 7 2017, 10:40 AM) These days there are too many foreigners in SG. Cheaper yes, faster and better I doubt. Sometimes these folks just cut corners and create other mess for cleanup later. In another way, to generate work to sustain... You not foreigner meh? New citizen already? Can sign majulah by heart or not? Local also say u foreigner what if new citizen. Unless few generation here gone through ns and stuff. |

QUOTE(ThanatosSwiftfire @ Jun 8 2017, 11:31 AM) Well if u wanna live the cafe every weekend, live in a nice 2 or 3 bedroom condo in a central area, and have a nice car to drive kind of life, i suppose 8k is minimum lo. But median pay in singapore is 4k (including cpf), so she gotta belong to the top 25% or 20% to make that kind of money, and so the question is, does she possess the chops to get there. Stay in HDB and eat at kopitiam ok what. 80% of people here staying in HDB. 8k single income can't even afford condo leh...Maybe shud introduce fionajie to her. I not rich la. My sugar dad is rich. But he will give all his money to his son next time, told me I need to work hard for my kids |

QUOTE(bellion @ Jun 12 2017, 12:06 PM) What do u mean get a degree as a Malaysian? What about the quality of the degree ? How would you compare to an NuS or SMU graduate ? The preference of Singapore employers is to hire fresh graduates frm Singapore (PR or citizen) before considering foreigners. Malaysian degree not bad what. Malaysia uni is harder to get in than NUS. Wah lao I got rejected by local uni but NUS offer scholarship, sure MY local uni higher requirements right than NUS. NUS already degraded la now not the top SG local u anymore. SMU still far far. |

QUOTE(strategist @ Jul 11 2017, 02:38 PM) Fresh grads median pay in SG starts from $3,300, and I hesitated for a bit because of this. Better come to the sea and see how big. Good luck leh.I believe i might have developed this sense of superiority thinking I am better than the rest, as my pay is MUCH higher than the average fresh grad pay in Malaysia. throughout my graduate program I was treated as the 'elites' who will transform the company, which further stroke my ego. getting offered a lower rate than the average fresh grad salary is a deal to my ego, when I thought i deserve better. It is not easy to adjust my thinking, but I am willing to be humble, accept that I am not a special snowflake in a competitive SG environment, and start over again in a foreign country. and to another poster above me, no I am not in accenture. Totally different industry |
