Nearest to custom would be JB sentral.

Or else, any place which is safe and grab a cab/grabcar/uber to custom.

This is because my HR friend informed me that huge number of engineer are jumping ship. Turnover rate quite high .

Not that serious actually. (Can be happen elsewhere other than JB as well)

For JB Sentral, just take note that it is quite limited on weekday 5.30am onwards until afternoon and it might got parking lots released.

better jump before 2 months or after 6 months. in between u will have to pay 15% income tax. Jump too frequent might get ur pass rejected in future.

just make sure ur number is able to roam thats enough. it will be pay per use roaming. meaning u will only get charge if someone called u.

No, she will be considered as tax resident if she works continuous period of at least 183 days straddling two years. Mean if she resigns before April then she has to pay 15% tax.

I have a few concerns and I hope some kind soul might enlighten me smile.gif

1) It has been a week plus waiting for my work pass to be approved. May I know is it usually taking this long or it isn't normal? Cause I heard usually 5 days already approved by MOM.

2) May I know if I buy a sim card in singapore, is it better to use a work permit or a Malaysian passport to buy?

3) Just in case I need a secondary phone, cause im lazy to backup some stuff in my malaysian phone, can anyone recommend me any 2nd shop phone dealer in singapore?

1) Very normal because government tighten up the criteria nowadays hence they need more time to process ur application

2) Up to u, u can buy a prepaid with malaysia passport. Postpaid only work permit.

3) Carousell is the easiest

Maxis postpaaid or prepaid?

If postpaid, just check in mymaxis or at maxis counter that its enabled.

Beware of Maxis OneWorld.
one wrong move and you'll be charged RM36 a day.
See this problem i had. https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3901044&hl=

FYI, no more 2g in Singapore.
Just in case you're using dual sim phone thats 4g/2g.
