Been using MyRepublic for the past few years without issue. Singtel is expensive, and M1 has had pretty bad outages recently and past years

For me i just use a contract free mobile plan (Gomo) + my MyRepublic broadband subscription for my place. If you can get a combo plan for both that is cheaper, absolutely go for it. Do note that MyRepublic recently sold its mobile division (excluding broadband) to Starhub so i don't know what the future arrangement is going to be.

Wasnt aware that MyRepublic had a TV plan but i guess you should consider how much you would watch realistically before committing to a 2 year contract.

Yeah, my situation is that I plan to rent a room for about 3 months before my family comes over, after which I'll then rent a whole unit. Seems like I can't rent a room in a HDB for just 3 months, because the minimum is 6 months. So as some has advised, condo is the only way to go for that 3 month room rent.

Just discovered there's something called co-living space. Seems like room rental but with a short term lease of 3 months. Anyone has experience with "co-living space"?

Plenty of such service. I know of one call Dash Living

You can also ask around hotels to negotiate long term stay price. I know during low season COVID time 1 agreed to rent as low as $50 a day provided you can commit to at least 3 months stay. Great location some more. But now that hotel no more such offer dy

Yes, many providing this co-living service. From the looks of it, most of them are >$1000. Back to carousell/trovit search for me.

Co-living is the term for fancy young-generation oriented housing, not for saving money
The real co-living if you want to save money is to share a room with someone else in a HDB tongue.gif

Hi, recently obtained a software developer job. Company is based in Singapore, while I from Petaling Jaya/Kuala Lumpur.

I am planning to rent a HDB unit.

So some questions I have:

i) Let's say I need to be in office 5x a week on weekdays, is it okay to travel back lets say every weekend now that borders have reopened? Tiring and expensive or not?

ii) If let's say I can negotiate and allow myself to work from home, and once in a while only need to go office, can I work from my house in PJ/KL?

iii) Use what mobile plan? I will still need a mobile line in SG and will be renting a HDB unit as well. Will travel up and down between Malaysia and Singapore very regularly (family reasons)

iv) Any other concerns I should be aware of?

Thanks!

friday flight to singapore- Sunday back to malaysia. Flight around RM530. excluding the transport from airport. Singapore public transport is relatively cheap at SGD 2 from Airport to orchard. But malaysia one would kill you. its also tiring

ii) If let's say I can negotiate and allow myself to work from home, and once in a while only need to go office, can I work from my house in PJ/KL?

Mobile plan is quite expensive in singapore. fiber wise its cheap. malaysia you can get unlimited on mobile.

iv) Any other concerns I should be aware of?

housing is limited. good luck

Thanks!

Does ayone here know if a Msian who is below the age of 50 but had already renounced the SPR and permanently residing in west Msia, what happens to the CPF account?
If not mistaken for west Msian, cannot close and withdraw the CPF money if the age is below 50.
Wondering between the years before the person reaching age 50, what happens to the CPF account that cannot be closed?
