Took 6 business days 😊

I see, thanks, and congrats!

Hi All

My medical checkup is approved and my manager took the result for me since i'm still in malaysia..it took me 10 days to get EP approved and 3 days to get the medical result.

Can a person take a medical result of another person?

Doesn't sound correct

Can but you need to fill up the authorization form

Hi sifus, I just got an offer for $4k in SME at Yishun Industrial Street 1. My question is, how much u can save if u're single with no commitment & not boros & opt to commute from JB? I wish to save money to move to NZ/OZ after 1 year.

Or shud I wait other offer 1st? bc i put my expected salary as $5k. still waiting words from two interviews and has one upcoming interview today. Thanks.

quick question, when applying for a next job ,while working on an existing one, lets say i get the new offer, do I wait until i get my IPA for employment, or can i resign at my existing one , the moment i sign/receive the offer letter from the future company...?

the main spending will be rental if u dun go out and spend on drinks much.
i think if u can get cheap rental and nvr really keep eat "atas" food...then easily u can save 3k?

if im not wrong,u will need to resign before they can apply ipa for u?

The minimum monthly expenses
Take myself as an example similar to yours
Rental : S$700 (expensive! I know)
Food : <S$300
Transportation : <S$90
Daily Necessities : <S$90
Entertainment : <S$100
Monthly total expenses around S$1300 +-
You should be able to cut down on rental + entertainment, so S$1000 will do.

wait for your new pass to approve first before resigning...
the usual flow is sign offer letter, wait approve pass application then resign...

ps: you'll need to cancel your current pass before getting your new pass, that's after resign story...

i dont drink & dont mind pasar food, but still i want single room bc i value my sleep time

thanks. how far ur place from office? why still got transportation cost?

he's refering to ezlink/nets flashpay for mrt/bus public transportation.
not to forget set aside expenses for phone and allowance for your parents.
IMO 1000 per month is doable but kinda tight and no life lol.

$300/month for food is a pretty low estimate imo
That's only $10 /day meaning you will be eating hawker 2-3 meals per day every single day, so that's the minimum alrd

And if you must have your own room (no sharing) then $600-700 is also around the minimum, so kovin's 1.3k estimate is quite a good low estimate. Doubt you can manage to lower it to 1k

Also 1 big item not included is travel expenses if you plan to go back home once in a while

Out of curiosity, why do you feel a need to save up before going to Aus?
Wouldn't it be better if you went there directly instead?

how do i receive OTP from malaysia if im in Singapore? im using umobile postpaid.

you'll receive it if got roaming service...

It means first i have to enable the roaming services with them in Malaysia right?

It depends on your company. You can also request for E Pass but subject to MOM approval.

Of course, how would you get a signal to receive the sms without roaming
But roaming is free, just turn off data roaming on your phone and dont make any calls
