QUOTE(bellerophon @ Aug 7 2017, 05:52 PM) not quite. Singapore recognise dual citizenship while Malaysia does not. but it is only up to 16 years old for male and 21 for female. reason being is male needs to sign up for national service and female do not. once they reach this age, they'll have to choose one. as for the passport, can hold 2 or 1. if 1 passport, there will be a special chop at the back. Google linkThe position of the Singapore Government is that dual citizenship is not allowed.[8] The laws regarding Singapore citizenship are found in the Constitution of Singapore. A dual citizen may have acquired citizenship by birth in a foreign country, by descent from a foreign citizen parent, or by naturalisation. Singapore citizens who voluntarily and intentionally acquire citizenship of a foreign country after the age of 18 may be deprived of their Singapore citizenship by the Government.[9] Foreigners who naturalise as Singaporean citizens are required to renounce all foreign citizenships.[10] Persons who are born outside of Singapore and have at least one parent who is a Singapore citizen may register with a Singapore consulate within a year to acquire Singapore citizenship by descent. However, such persons must renounce their foreign citizenship, if any, before reaching 22 years of age. The Constitution of Singapore is silent on a Singapore citizen who acquired citizenship by birth and is a foreign citizen by descent. So long as such a person refrains from exercising the rights of foreign citizenship, the Government has no grounds for depriving him of his Singapore citizenship and he may hold on to dual citizenship. extracted from the link |

QUOTE(em0kia @ Aug 12 2017, 10:01 PM) Hi everyone! I will be working near Orchard MRT soon and I wonder is there any good affordable place to rent within that zone? I am okay with any place within 3-4 mrt station radius. Alternatively would be redhill/tiong bahru....got some direct buses...Additional: Also i wonder which website do you guys usually go to search for room rentals?

QUOTE(ldhong @ Aug 15 2017, 11:19 AM) Perhaps, tailtwist still got property or assets in MY not willing to give up. well i dont have any assets nor land nor properties nor even a vehicle/motorcycle...just that both of my parents are still around in KL(my side), while for my wife, her parents(means my parents in law) didn't object to her converting to SG citizenshipThat's why holding on it. MY is going backwards now towards 3rd world country. Why retire in MY? Nobody know what will happen to MY 30 years later. |

QUOTE(calvin989898 @ Aug 19 2017, 08:56 PM) Guys , need your advise I'm new to this. Recently I have apply an internal position within my company. It's an mnc o&g company. I have more than 13 years experience in global projects persuit. you will be driving your Malaysia car into SG or park nearby JB checkpoint?HR already told me I be getting this position and next week is just formality interview with MD which I already working with him for long. Soon will be salary negotiation from HR side. Currently I'm earning basic around MYR 15k basic. For case like this what are the reasonable offer would be in SGD? This is prepare me to negotiation with HR soon. I plan to drive my Malaysia car and will go back to KL every week end. The affect on my side will not be too much as I need to travel in Asia region frequently. Whether fly from changi or klia will be fine. Expected just stay 2 weeks in singapore and 2 weeks overseas and will fly in / out via klia. waa....going back kl every weekend....easily waste 6 hours of driving(round trip provided no incident/jam on the PLUS highway)...not including your petrol/maintenance/toll etc etc...well its something that i cant afford for sure.... pay wise...not a single clue..cause im not in O&G field |

QUOTE(calvin989898 @ Aug 19 2017, 10:08 PM) No, I plan to use the car within SG when I'm there. It's faster to travel around and go back to KL instead of taking public transport to JB. And my office at Tuas so it's easy if have own transport. The price to pay is what you say lo, waste 6 hours commute time once every 2 weeks. But nothing is perfect , in return is better experience and better pay 😁😁 on top of that dont forget to include your travelling expenses/time into SG...eg VEP/ERP and the time spent crossing the borders on a DAILY basis (5 days a week)This post has been edited by tailtwist: Aug 20 2017, 07:08 AM |

QUOTE(strategist @ Aug 25 2017, 05:05 PM) Question, how many of you managed to buy a property in Singapore? Hmm...are you sure you can afford a condo in Klang Valley are with an earning of RM5k? RM5k is after or before deductions?lets say I am 25 and I earn RM5k. I can easily afford a 3-bedroom condo even in Klang Valley, and I don't have to pay for my rent. I can also choose to rent out the rooms for investment. I can't say the same for Singapore though, around $600-1000 will always go into rent, and a single PR is not eligible to buy HDB. Then again Klang Valley area is pretty big.... |
