Hi all, I got job offer in SG 2 months ago and my EP is approved. As I am required to go for medical checkup, can I go for medical checkup on that day I reporting to work (14/11/22)? HR insisted me to go for medical checkup and wait for report out then can start work. I dont want to have the hassle to come to SG and go back to KL as my rental starting date is 12/11/22 and my joining date is 14/11/22.

Please advise

Medical check-up if it's required by Ministry of Manpower don't think it's negotiable. If it's company requirements perhaps can still compromise. Just follow the instruction, if not it'll leave bad record. Last time my company uses AIA panel of clinics - they even have clinic coverage in JB. Many clinics in JB provide health screening for SG job applicants, very common
During COVID lockdown, hotel occupancy is so low - I ever rented hotel room in Orchard for SGD50 nett per day. Dirt cheap

Hi, thanks for your quick reply. Too bad my company panel clinic is Acumed SG, so need to do medical checkup in SG. I asked HR and she allowed me to go for medical checkup on the 1st of reporting work. So, I will go to clinic on 14/11 afternoon, after collecting necessary stuffs

Depends where u work at. I stayed in Runsack, bought through trip.com. Early book should give better price, 30days can get +-1k sgd range.
Check HR employer if they have panel clinic in SG or MY,better to confirm and get it done before arriving SG. Depending on what kind of check, you may get the result same day or in few days.

HR told me it takes 3-5 days for report to be released. I talked to HR and they allowed me to go for medicla checkup on 1st day of reporting to work which can save the hassle.

Medical checkup result typically takes around 3days before the clinic shares the report.
Better check your company HR if they are okay with your arrangement.

FYI, there are cases IPA got retracted due to failing health check, so your HR would still insist on getting the result first.

I talked to them and they are ok with my arrangement. At least save much of my hassle.
