Apparently not. The subline has to be upgraded to principal and also pay the full 158 minimum to qualify. But if it is any consolation, the newly upgraded principal can be grouped under the original principal account and be paid by the latter. Say in my case if I upgrade my subline it would be 158+158.

note, thks for the clear clarification

I've heard of this anecdotally but it's first time happening to someone I know, so got carried away a wee bit.
Anyway, I am glad they are doing something/initiating to collect back the money they loaned out.
There are few possibilities - don't think she doesn't has the money to pay since the monthly payment is pretty affordable.
1. Being ignorant
2. Heck care about the system
3. The usual hide and seek from the creditor - pay later
This is not as bad as being blocked at the checkpoints/airports but yeah the authority is doing it in full force which is commendable.

Few years back, I have another colleague (now ex-colleague) who told us it's stupid to pay back PTPTN rclxub.gif . Just imagine someone really needed the money to further their studies and there's nothing left in the coffer.
*
one way, gov can do is block employers from contributing epf $$ to employees epf account of those blacklisted,
then
auto channel/divert employer's $$ epf contributions to ptptn account/office to clear debt directly.

A lot actually... Since S7/LG V20/MI5 etc start all second sim can go up to 3G d.

Even many cheap phones like Redmi Note 4, Mi Max etc and Huawei lower end also can. New phones with dual sim also almost if not all can.
*
ok good, am currently on Samsung Galaxy-A series. 2nd sim will be on 2G only, thus my maxis roaming failed doh.gif so troublesome, sms to get TAC code from MY bank failed

uhmmmm maybe towards fundamental question, if I ride Msia bike into SG must go out by 24 hrs?
*
u can keep msia registered bike in SG land not more that 14days (inclusive sat&sun). must in/out before 14 days expiry.
if over, a penalty charge is applicable. these is a table of penalty charges in lta website, check it out. (I think sgd10 for the next 7days, If am not wrong)

bike >> vep sgd4 per day is applicable (except sat/sun/ph)

so vep is count per day, means 14 days vep thn would be sgd 4* 14 even js per entry? pay as per exiting SG?

https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltaweb/en/ro...oad-charge.html

oh the information is here.
means if 365 ( by in n our 14 days period everytime) total would be SGD 1460 per year.

@_@
*
no no, vep only chargable on Monday to Friday except public holiday. (sat & sun - no charge)

example here>

u ride in SG on 3/Apr/17(mon)
u must ride out SG by 16Apr/17(sun) - 14th day
vep charges = 9days*$4=$36(becos 14/04 is Good Friday PH)

Just curious,
is anyone facing trouble having their maxis/hotlink number on roaming in sg?
it seems like it is not working recently and wondering is anyone facing the same issue as me?
I can no longer request for TAC without my maxis/hotlink number working in sg =(
*
if u r using an older dual sim card ph model like me, only 1 sim can be enable on 3G/4G. meaning if your SG sim is working, then your MY provider on roaming will fail.

temporary solution, to receive MY bank TAC to your MY provider on roaming >> just manually switch over on the <mobile network selection> i.e for Samsung hp. after done your e-banking, then switch back over to your SG sim card.

permanent solution 1) change to new dual card 3G/4G enable hp; or 2) carry two hps

I see, I'd assume that I would have to promise to work with the company for at least 6 months or a year minimum to get a pass? Would it be crazy to ask for 3K$ minimum for a Chef? With 6-7 years experience. I have a place to stay in Singapore, just want to go there to earn some extra money while my project in Malaysia is going on planning stage.
*
once my friend (a chef) told me, if a chef, 3K is definitely too low. if a cook, is definitely to high.
she said, many claim to be a chef brows.gif
