Curious question. Is the company HR going to be notified when current employee has application under other company?

Besides that, not often people will wait for you to serve your notice period only after getting EP approved. I'm not sure but if I'm the boss I wouldn't wanna wait Some even need to serve 2 months notice.

I think company that subscribed to job seeking website will have notification unless HR close one eye and ignore. Well, my company didn't say a thing from my interview till getting new EP approved.

Most of the jobs advertised in the newspaper seems to be mostly catered to general labour nowadays.. Been seriously contemplating for a career change after 4 years in the construction industry but can't really find any good opportunity.

hi guys, can share how you update ICA when you changed company?

PR still pending but I've changed job. any advise?

Email ICA and include your PR Application ID...
when i email them, i include details like last day at previous company, start date on new company...

then they'll ask you for informations like scan copy of new work pass etc etc...

i did, and they waived on the spot with no questions asked. using PremierMiles too.
OCBC absolutely wont waive, so i cancelled their card.
UOB waived after 1 week of calling in.

Just got it waived too!
Thanks for the info.

News said Singapore is most expensive city, but I see Malaysian working there very rich with exchange rate. Any problem?

No prob, good luck

AFAIK, they will not know

They will definitely not want to wait, but as the candidate you need to know how to negotiate
It's not a small matter, if you resign first and EP gets rejected, what do you do then? Go back to Malaysia if your current company doesn't want to take you back?
It only takes up to 1 week for EP approval most of the time anyway, what's so urgent they can't wait for 1 week more

Hi guys,

Any other ways to open up a bank account without telephone bill? I am using prepaid currently.
They are all asking for telephone bill >.<

https://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=362

i couldn't identify. please advise. did you go down to ICA to update or just email is good enough?

Your Malaysian ID?

IC, passport, EP and telephone bill.
Cannot escape telephone bill haha

That economist report is based on an "expat" lifestyle. If need car and nice condo and eat lots of angmoh food in SG of course mahal gila.
If you rent 3rm hdb and every day economy rice and bus mrt walk, living in SG is cheap compared to the salary.

Last time I did my DBS without telephone bill

Mail to ica_pr@ica.gov.sg instead
Expect quite a long turnaround, they only replied me after 1 week i think

that's good enough. i just have to wait for my new EP card to arrive first.

terima kasih!

i did email to the feedback email but they redirect me to the PR email as stated by KillJim

email is good enough and yes, don't expect immediate reply

Actually take PR get tax deduction quite good le. The 20% that they deduct from ur income is not taxable. So essentially u get a return equal to the highest bracket u are exposed to, on your contribution. (See cpf relief)
