QUOTE(commtrader @ Mar 7 2017, 03:54 PM) Must be high position offered in Sg in order for them to buy you out ! You can ask Sg company to wait for few more days first? Wait until u receive the bonus first only buy you out for ctr The bonus payout is usually may or jun. My new co requested me to pay first to old co. They will reimburse me later. What should I do to retain my bonus? My bonus is under review and approval now...tq bros

QUOTE(knwong @ Mar 7 2017, 08:04 PM) The 'buy off' is a early release. Common in the industry if your role is critical role Can forget about the bonus the moment you tender, even if it's already approve. Just look forward for the 'greener' pasture at new company. Let old bygones be bygones Now current company counter offer me. 20% salary increment. Don't know what to do now.

hi sifu, just want to know my aunty has a 3-room HDB in Sg. Currently rented out to 3 tenants (1 room for 2 girls sharing), (1 room for a guy) If I plan to live there, I have to share with the guy, because another room can't be rented out according to law, right?
Or I have to find a room in Jurong...

QUOTE(KilJim @ Mar 14 2017, 09:43 AM) Legally she has to be staying in the unit herself But physically, i dont think they are going to go inside and check... Is she still staying there right now? That's another issue, my aunt is not staying there, that's why one room is not for rent.

QUOTE(xtylish @ Apr 4 2017, 03:34 PM) here is a tip from my very own experience. apply jobs at job portals and search for offices located at Tuas / Jurong Island or anywhere remote/ulu. companies situated at such places are quite far from town area but usually provides company transport. cons - far away from town - need to wake up early - if missed the company bus, need to take taxi to office (need to pay $$$ from own pocket) pros - sg citizen and pr usually will avoid to work at these places - save money on transport (if stay near company bus pick up point) - easier to be shortlisted for interview good luck Very true. I got a job at tuas. Use company bus.

Lets say MYR10k to sg is SGD5k then malaysia would base on SGD5k then make it MYR7k? Not sure about your case, but I will ask for employment letter stating current salary in malaysia for backup

QUOTE(khyesiang @ Apr 13 2017, 02:45 PM) Hello, I am a fresh graduate from M'sia, will be working in Tuas in the coming month. Planning to move to either Jurong/Boon Lay area. Will either cycle to work or wait for the company bus Can anyone advise me on things to look out for or any necessary documents/paperwork that I need to prepare when coming over? E.g. paying taxes, work eligibility, bank accounts, any other necessities that you can think of? Before u start work in sg, u should already have temporary work pass, and passed medical check up. Bank acc can open later.
