QUOTE(malleus @ Jun 26 2022, 10:11 AM) the actual conferment at the convocation is just ceremonial. As long as you have a letter from the university stating that you have fulfilled the requirements to get the degree, you're good to go. But this may depend on the employer as well. I did hear a case from somebody I know that his sister was paid like minimum wage until she actually received that piece of paper from her university. however this is the only case that I have heard of though. But i heard i cant put in a future graduation date. Since my degree conferment is august, can i still put my graduation date as July? |

Since my degree conferment is august, can i still put my graduation date as July? for this, I got no idea. but what I remember from what I did before, I didn't use the term 'graduation date'. Instead I used the term 'completion date', where the completion date is same as on the letter that I requested from the university that states that I've completed whatever's needed to be awarded the degree. |

But right now the best person to answer your question will be the current HR person that you're talking to. |

Many Sinkie shop like no tomorrow they'll snap up many of those stuffs when drive to JB When driving into SG, they will want to see you declare dutiable items like tobacco, liquor. Common question get ask by AETOS or Certis personnel there |

Common question get ask by AETOS or Certis personnel there JB custom ar? never encountered anything like that before. Even when I was bringing our 2 cats over, they just looked at the carrier and ask: 'live animal izzit?'. I said yes, and was asking my wife to pass me the export permit, but they just waved us through. for food products, check this out: https://www.sfa.gov.sg/food-import-export/b...or-personal-use |
