Dear all sifus,

tumpang question ya. If one age btw 35-39 with a year of working experience in spore with Doctorate degree. Is it possible to get PR approved ?

Hi any tips in managing property in KL while working in SG? I am in this dilemma at the moment.

Yes but why the rush?
Wait and work for another 2 years confirm get PR.
Plus if you Malaysian chinese and no bad record 99% will get.

That's not excatly fair la.
Sure Malaysia has its bad points but so is Singapore la.
Speaking about cost of living and inflation, Singapore GST is confirmed to go up to 9% in 2024 (8% in 1Jan 2023). Prices of goods and services are going to hike exponentially.
And guess what? Despite recession, interest rate hike, etc property prices and rentals going up like crazy.
Meanwhile salary except for a few sector like Technology and IT is generally flat.

Update: my friend recently back to Malaysia and he brought back around RM600k in saving after worked at spore for 7-8 years. He plan to retired for a year but recently one local company offered him RM18k lol.. no rest day for him haha

may i add on the integrating part. i can safely put a 80% figure of msian working in sg bring across the typical msian characteristics which is shunned upon and many instances msian themselves dont realize, lets make it short in point form:

- Trashing sg food on a daily basis
- huge tendency to convert office spaces into mini chinatown speaking ching chong,
- broken & poor command of english
- weird chinese accent (Being a neutral listener as a semi banana myself, i do distinguish the 'kampong' 'canto' style of msian's mandarin
- converting sgd/myr mindset in every transaction = cheapskate calculative
- huge tendency to backstab/being gossipy in workplace (Mind you this trait is common across every individual, just that msian are more fond of it)
- lower social standing / usually work eat sleep hiking save money boring routine and lifestyle

In msia we segregate btwn Eng & chinese educated. By and large in comparison, everyone in sg is what we perceive as 'Eng' educated, and most msian working in sg are chinese ed. Seen plenty alr, like chances how the fug an eastern coast kampong guy from Kelantan can integrate easily with a pure english speaking city-dweller, indulging the same life upbringing. Hence, those who harp on msian & sg having similar culture is actually a fallacy. And all these top off with xenophobia of locals against 3rd world foreigners (Malaysia is a third world country if you have not realized) snatching their PMET job (Thanks to the open leg policy of PAP gahmen).

Locals against msian in a subtle way has never been a new thing. Though we may never be able to 100% integrate, but its how much the extent that we can from 0-100%. Those from KL at least by far has more in common than those typical ones from JB, etc. Hypothetically ask urself, if ur workplace is invaded by Indo chinese who chances bear 50 50% loyalty to the country, do u still find the need to have the decency to treat them? Simply its no, cos u dont owe these transient beings anything.

just go!!
take the challenges!!
maybe ur luck is better there...

If you’re from KL and often converse in English, 9/10 Singaporeans can’t tell the difference between a local and Malaysian

This is even more true if you’re a Malaysian Chinese who claimed to be a non mandarin/hokkien speaker [banana] and studied abroad [say LSE for example]

Malaysians [regardless of race] are the easiest expat to integrate to Singapore by virtue of our common communal ties, values and looks and appearance

if you can speak hokkien, they will even more WOW at you. speak hokkien to the hawker store aunties and you might get special treatment too

house in Shah Alam has been vacant since we moved. But have a friend staying there at times (she alternates between her hometown and KL depending on what work she does) to help take care of the place for us.

only managed to make a trip back after 2.5 years recently, and started clearing up our things for disposal, with the plans to eventually sell it off. We're lucky somewhat, as we only moved in for about a year+ before moving, so not too much stuff accumulated yet.

Sounds like you are butthurt and feel embarrassed that Malaysians behave like Malaysians

Let's be honest here. Isn't this the excat same complains by the malays in malaysia against malaysian chinese ? So i am not sure what you are trying to insinuate here? Are you closet sinkie trying to take a veiled jab at malaysian chinese?

He probably read too much comments on edmw.
Just know that edmw opinion does not represent the opinion of majority of singaporean. Edmw is a forum for degenerate, borderline mental illness, bbfa and loser bottom feeding 20% of singaporeans to vent frustration. Its kinda like reading comments on some ketuanan forums and think it applies in general. Their comments are quite frankly laughable at best.

all the best to you

Wishing you all the best TS !

A reason why poorer Malaysians can get jobs that Singaporeans won't do.

i work in IT, move to SG 6 years ago, i was mid 30 during that time
i moving my whole family (wife and 2 kids) together.
took me sometime to settle down.

Is there an age concern to get Singapore PR approvale.g chances for approval is higher for age 39 and below and when hitting 40 approval rate will be lower ?

Nobody knows as the criterias are not made publicy known.
However based on hearsay, if you are in a white collared job with a degree, relevant work experience and decent pay i.e. on an EP, it would be favourable.
