just to share some of my experience, after 1 year working in sg. 

food:
hawker food is quite affordable, u can get by ur lunch/dinner with $5
restaurant in mall normally range from ~$8 to any price

transport:
u can get to anywhere in sg by public transport - mrt/bus
so no problem with transport actually. just that u need to plan ur time well
if u stay near to ur office , then thats good and u can save alot in transportation.

accommodation:
a common room here (1pax) include utilities&internet normally rental range from $400-$700 for hdb
if condo around $800-1000+
some include aircon which is always good as weather here 80% of the time is hot

misc:
hippie cafe in sg: coffee price around $5-10, big breakfast can range from $10-30+ depending on the area where the cafe is
library in sg: apa book u mau pun ada, can borrow with a small fees
daily necessities: i see some of my fren always go JB to buy shampoo,food,watson,etc. but for me i would not spend the time going out to JB purposely buying shampoo and stuff.
tax: not much rebate like in malaysia
bank: open dbs/posb easiest, as they accept malaysia IC. also most common bank in sg, can find the atm at every corner.
mobile no.: singtel,starhub,m1. imo, starhub is the balance between singtel and m1, m1 is cheap but line not stable, singtel is stable not price higher.
entertainment: in sg, far more expensive than compare in malaysia.

imo: u can save alot $$$ in sg, unless u always go hippie cafe/restaurant, drink alcohol, or go geylang.

1 and a half year.

i think it depends.
applied after 6 to 7 months working in Singapore and got it. but i can't really remember how long the process took. i think maybe 3 to 4 months?

i will say , put the slot asap.

came to SG to work in July 16, applied DBS eMulti-Currency Autosave Account using tenancy agreement (SG address) & IPA
being told no need min. saving for this type of account, but for multiplier account yes.. after that receive a call (about 1 month later) to ask me go back to the bank to change SG address to the address in my Malaysia IC.

tl;dr
1. No min. balance 3k requirement for DBS MULTI-CURRENCY account
2. MULTIPLIER account requires min. balance every month
3. No SG address (otherwise why ask bother to ask me to change address)

above was the situation when I first came to SG, anyone with latest info do update me 

I was given the options tho.. At least I did ask about it.. I guess they might have changed the policy.. EP holder here BTW

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

This is true from my observation as well. What S'porean consider as ulu, is actually sap sap sui in terms of travel journey for us M'sian. Just get a motorbike. COE for motor is still acceptable. But those ulu/remote places you mentioned, all are manufacturing - biomedical, chemical, pharma, construction, OnG refinery, F&B, etc...

construction

Very true. I got a job at tuas. Use company bus.

most of the used bike still 2-3 years COE to go before renewal.

Anyone here who had worked in Malaysia before moving to work at Singapore?

when u left the job at Malaysia, did the previous company at Malaysia help to submit the CP21 form to LHDN? is it compulsory? or should we just wait for next year's EA form to submit?

Need some advices on this. Thanks.

Ok Nvm, I checked

Fuk inside the namelist, cant run away to vote

Holiday burn

Out of curiousity, if you do not mind answering
why only 1 convert?
I used to have this thinking, at least got a backup plan can retire in MY.
But then, how do the spouse stay long term in MY since no longer MY citizen.
From what I heard, it is quite unlikely to get MY PR too.
Children, if they grew up in SG, unlikely they will want to move and stay in MY as it is a foreign country to them   

Guys, any plan for 1st Sep long weekend holiday ?

Don't knw want to go back kl onot

Sure fuking jam at custom

So fast moon cake meh

4 oct oni moon cake day eh

What are the cheap things in Singapore?

Everything is cheaper if u don't convert

makan....household....appliances/electrical/laptop/gadgets..more spending power

food, branded stuff, transport, technically everything if you compare dollar to dollar. You can simply afford an iphone 7 with 3k salary but u cant even get an iphone 7 in malaysia with 3k salary

my housemate is going back korea d, so master room will be left empty...any takers?XD
