it's illegal to deduct but most will offer and justify the low pay by using the levy as an excuse. Deswai many malaysians think can get 3K but offered 2K+ here

This...
and not to mention 3K SGD have almost negligible income tax less than 200SGD .... but RM5K tax bracket you get back 4.2K a month.

agreed. RM15K already driving BMW and traveling 3-4 times a year, while SGD5K only stuck in pigeon hole with 6 digits in the bank account because it's stupid to buy a car and company dont approve leave to travel (not enough public holiday as well)


and SG kiasu culture is challenging each other who got it cheaper, while malaysian kiasu culture is challenging who paid more. So if assimilated into SG kiasu culture, one will end up saving even more

millennials berlambak yo. we call them the "moonlight tribe" which translate from chinese to everymonth savings 0 gang.

NUS canteen almost everything there less than 3SGD

economy bihun and one sosej.. i think can get 1.50. but definitely not satisfying haha....

i tend to feel singkie girls are less materialistic and more conservative than msian girls.
So I guess the sought after are by your definition is for the fun by sg guys.
You'd be surprised that theres a demand for msian guys because to the eyes of SG girls. SG guys are all useless hamsap mommy boys.
while SG girls may sound nice. you gotta get used to their accent which sounds like they're permanently whining.

yeah.. SG spending tends to be mostly on properties. cars maybe for the 10K SGD class. but the majority will save their money to their graves

got la... airasia promo all book a year in advance. then go backpack and live in airbnb/hostel.. eat 1 time luxury for the photo and the rest of the trip from convenience shop.. or cook instant noodles... janji end of day get the instagram shot...

if got kids definitely SG ironically because of the superior education system. heck many pr msian convert to citizen in SG just so that they can get slots for their kids and hopefully place them into NUS/NTU.

their materialistic is from their own spending instead of receiving as gifts... that's what i observed. Just like why some guys buy rolex as a token of achievement... maybe this is due to the spending power.

However their criteria is for a guy might be tougher than materialistic gifts: is to have a fat enough CPF to BTO a HDB the moment they ROM

Many parents are willing to sacrifice lifestyle to secure the kid's future. Not having a car is probably just a small sacrifice... considering the transport options they have in SG... And tuition fee is heavily discounted for pr and citizen... consider dollar to dollar, it's actually cheaper than msia for higher education... not to mention scholarships for their citizens too.

maybe because i mixed with mostly average working class and not the atas business executive kind so maybe that'e why our perspective is different.
there are plenty with msian wives and even those dudes who became husbands to sgrean ladies (infact getting a msian husband more win.... no need worry of reservist and can use husband to invest in malaysian assets and get dependent visa to stay in msia long term) perks that sg men dont get with msian wives.

ayam currently in SG but not for long. in the progress of going down under mate

kampung then cannot say la. but in terms of KL the demands are actually way much higher i feel.. and dont forget the whole island of SG can fit inside klang valley.... in terms of environment.

The gap in SG amongst the working class is actually not that big as compared to malaysia where one spot up the ladder can be 1 digit extra... deswai you dont see them throwing around materialistic comparison like branded bags but rather on their partner's career and their kid's achievements.. (i dont think that's considered as material but rather being vain)

for example between a wealthier businessman vs an accomplished doctor ... in SG the doctor would have a higher winning chance in the battle of the tai-tais, while in malaysia, the tai-tais would be comparing their branded bags, cars and diamonds without involving the husband.

yes. can work hnghhhhh and can apply for PR too. from what i heard, it's easier to get approval if the husband is malaysian as compared to the wife.. deswai most singaporean PR couples with sacrifice the wife's malaysian citizenship to keep the "best of both worlds"

9 months of better weather

welp.. just nice it's in the end of the year.... so plan long leave during that time especially during the peak

to own a car.. doesnt mean he has to drive it take lrt jugak in the end trolololol.

you only need/can have one marriage cert and it is recognized from most countries. just need to declare and submit a copy of that cert in malaysia.

yeah and it will cost about RM20.. and must be done within 6 months or will be charge a fine of RM150? im not too sure.. currently im also deciding between to ROM in SG or Malaysia before going down under ... i think it's much easier to just do it in malaysia as a msian.

it'll be better if you get your PR first before the ROM. depending on what you do, getting a PR now is much faster than years before.. and more streamlined as it has gone fully electronic. No need to book appointment 6 months in advance etc anymore.

good news is youre the husband and you're malaysian. it's just a lengthy process to get a malaysian PR but it has a way higher approval rate as compared to the opposite if the husband is a sgrean and the wife is malaysian.
