Hi guys, I am planning to work in Singapore this year.

I would love to know what time do you usually leave office, and also do you rent a room near your workplace in singapore? How about your wife/husband in KL, do they complain that your are far away from them?

Thanks  notworthy.gif

Singapore is somehow similar with Malaysia in terms of when did u leave office.
1. Some companies flexi time
2. Some typical 8 to 5 or 9 to 6
3. Some work 8 or 12 hrs shift

About rent a room, it depends on your budget. The city center is a hell of expensive. While outskirt area a little bit cheaper. But don't worry, the public transport here is efficient. For a single common room, it starts at $500 to $900, depends on location.

If you manage to get expat level salary ($6500 and above), you can bring your wife and kinds here by applying a Dependent Pass. There's no need to hear their complaints remotely when u can hear it infront of your eyes. Hahaha...

Yo guys I'm stuck in a very awkward position in my workplace.

I have been planning to tender my resignation from my job for sometime now. What stopped me from tendering it ASAP was my pending PR application outcome and bonus pay. The approval of my PR and bonus pay came at the same time (PR approved last 2 weeks, bonus came on latest pay). But someone from my department acted faster than me and my manager called an individual meeting to inform us that one of our colleagues has tendered a resignation and my manager was kinda upset or rather disappointed. My manager told me not to give her any more "heart attack" event as she couldn't digest any more of it. She also made a lot of indirect remarks to make me feel I should stay for sometime and contribute more since I got my PR because of the company and told me that a lot companies out there did not handout bonus because of Covid's hit.

Anyone had similar experience? Hahaha now damn sien already. The thing is this colleague of mine tendered with reasons such as too pressured la, can't sleep well la, bla bla. If I use reasons like I got better offer from my brother in overseas you think will work better? Anyone can advise please haha.

You mau resign, you resign saja.

If they die² wanna hold you, asked them to pay you local (PR/Singaporean) rate la. If they kenot, find another job lor...

Hi guys, for PR formalities, I need show them original birth cert right? Can't be photocopies or taking pic

If you can locate ur birth cert, do a police report and mentioned that you misplaced it. Better if you remember the birth cert number and indicate it inside the report as well...

This is what my friend did.

Why do a police report when you can just request for a new, english translated copy from Pentadbiran? can get it on the same day(2-3hours)

During this covid times, hard to get one.

The embassy are always busy and they didn't have time to entertain this kind of request...

BTW, just got my PR approved. Checked via singpass at 730am. Didn't change any at 1am last night.

But yay!

Tahniah Bro!

Hopefully mine get an outcome soon enough. Everyday atleast 3 times checking SingPass, just to see the button disappear...

7 months and counting...

Hey guys, what's the "normal" annual leave entitlement for engineers or execs in SG.

Is it 14 days like in Malaysia? According to MOM, the minimum is 7 days  rclxub.gif

Depends on company perhaps.

For me, i get 12 days. Some of my friends got 14 and 18 days...

All of us are in IT sector...

Stranded in MY bro. Since the first MCO started.

Thought it was 2 weeks, I choose not to stay in SG and go back home with family. My company only called me in after PCA scheme was introduced, 5 months after 18/3/2020.

Hahaha...

Yes. But I'm working as a vendor for GovTech SG. No such thing as WFH for us. As we are not allowed to bring our devices out from Singapore...

Really cross my mind I kid you not. Multiple times as well.

But at the same time, don't want them to think I use pr as stepping stone. May cause the rest of the folks who wish to apply PR some issue? Like boss will think, oh he just use us. Next time add a contract or must fulfill certain condition only apply

So, think give it another 5 months? Hmm
*
Depends on you bro.

My friend started to spam apply button at MyCarrerFuture right after he gets his new SingPass ID. Manage to secure a new job around 6 months after his PR approval...

IT is a hot demand nowadays. Especially when cheap labour from CECA are not allowed to enter SG for now...

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?

Yes, need to. But you can choose the option missing/document is not at you during application submission...

Ask your relatives to post it out for you...

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!
*
From why I read in another forum, it is advisable to not change job during PR application.

But if you choose to do so, no problem. Just email ICA your new offer letter, payslip and company profile (annex A). There is no need to redo everything...

For a malaysian that just got EP approved, do I apply for PCA scheme or request for MOM’s entry approval?

Not sure if EP IPA counts as ‘existing work pass holders’

Thanks sifus

IPA not counted as existing work pass.

Last year September, I enter by using IPA (MOM Approval). Need to undergo 14 days SHN.

While my other colleagues, they enter using PCA (Safetravel), only 7 days quarantine.

Nowadays, the numbers of quarantine is same. But MOM approval is hard to obtain unless you are working in crucial sector...
