This is very new to me, so mean it was possible?
Coming June i need to start contribute 15% to my CPF, for me 5% to 15% is a big jump, but if 15% vs 20% actually no much different, will consider to submit this form to CPF and request employer contrinbute 17%!

I requested for it and it got approved immediately. No convincing needed

For me, SG government still very reasonable, that time when my PR approved suppose i need to get all the thing done within 1 month, but with some valid reason, i completed my PR everything after 6 month when i know my PR approved. So dont be scare!

But not sure my company HR like it or not leh

Singtel? I know their big big boss in account department.

Worse case is they reject and eventually you get the full 17% at the end of your 2nd year. No harm trying

Yeah I know which form to fill but I am not sure if my employer willing to do this as this translates to 17% raise in my salary. Thanks tho.

I believe there is some tax Saving on their end, savings on foreign worker levy and also they would have to already pay you 4%. So the impact to them is not 17% extra.

Not really scare... Just don't want fuss when exiting next week.

Not worry they will take the PR back

But it's really weird . Didn't notice "Malawi" when the officer asked me check the docs also.

Absolutely possible, because my colleague also done this at second year, from 15% to 20%!

guys may I asked does anyone obtain EP this yr? how long is the process time needed from the MOM to process the EP application?

Took me 10 days to get mine approved. (10 March submit - 20 March approved)

If you mean the IPA for EP, I just got mine yesterday. Took 8 days from the moment they put in the application.

Btw, anyone here work in CBD? Got any recommendation on how I might get a season pass near MBFC?

Ohhh good to hear that.. Read forum seems some ppl drag on for few months for ep.. So worried my ep gt rejected...

May I know wat form is that? Weird I didn't fill up any form other than job agreement

I think it's called the Form 8 – Employment/S Pass Application form.

Woah, you're planning to get a car right after moving over?

The company's HR probably filled it for you in that case

Um... Not really. I've been driving my Malaysian car into Singapore everyday. But then again, my colleagues said I should really get a car in Singapore instead. They claimed that even with COE thrown in, it's cheaper to get a car in Singapore than having to pay for the VEP and other costs on a daily basis over 10 years. I have not worked out the TCO to determine whether that is true. If any sifus here can advise that'd be great as well.

Oh, to add context, I'm already working in Singapore.
