whoaj that is a damn big jump. 5 figure liao ah?

wah very lucky. what industry?

majulah singapura. may it continue to be great over the next 30 years, for the next generation too.

no brainer question there. sure yes la. everything better leh, what is there for u to lose?

my rule of thumb is 75% to 80%. aka sgd12k.

now ur explaining why u hesitate. emotional problem cannot help u

when i was making rm6.2k i took a job in singapore for 5.5k. really selling yourself short. don't do it, because climbing up is hard (unless u rly good and/or lucky)

that time only 2.5

good move. if u decide to be here, please just convert.
infant care costing me 2k sgd.
immunisation and doctor checkup recently sgd200
giving birth costs abt 8k sgd (thankfully simple, otherwise emergency c section another 4k).

if u singaporean, at least after subsidy only 1.3k.
singaporean baby can go polyclinic i think alnost free for immunisation.

getting a confinement lady from jb recently cost me abt sgd3.5k (theres a 200 bucks levy, application fee for her nanny permit, and sum rule abt angpaos etc)

singapore is safe for u physically, but i hope u make alot of money so that u can withstand the very real financial pressures.

my friend recently, after working 5 years here as a professional (earning abt 8k pm now) finally got the downpayment to buy a 700k condo. (400+ sq ft). if married and both PR or citizen can buy hdb can easily save a big chunk of that.

anyway you made your choice, what happens back in malaysia dont matter to you.

majulah singapura, may the next 50 years be greater than its first 50

Fiona-jie u sure onot? Move back means sacrificing your GCB and X5 leh!

havent heard of horror stories of maids feeding baby poop, urine, or dunno how cause baby to be strangled ah? maids are not educated or trained to handle infants, and my tiny place have no place to accommodate a maid. 500sqft not enough.

want maid means have to incur additional rent to get a space for them. somemore have to monitor them, feed them, givs them free time etc. and infant care allows babies to socialise with other babies, expose to some germs, and pick up some learning and playtime in a dedicated environment.
