QUOTE(LaSat @ Mar 3 2022, 11:56 PM) SG if you can save SGD500 = RM1500 already saving, every month! The last I checked, you cannot have any property overseas if you intend to buy hdb flat.Malaysia, don't think you can save that amount with Bangla Low-salary benchmark here! If, you opt for PR after 2-years, you definitely can get higher salary as Singaporean & have more saving upto SGD1000 = Rm3000 /per month! I had seen my friends done that, usually the 1st 5-years need to struggle abit, after that almost like SGreans already! If borders & the JB MRT start in 2-years time, can save even more staying in JB, buy any JB Semi-D & having a HDB not a problem! |

QUOTE(Cadence16 @ Mar 5 2022, 02:22 PM) You are right. Anyway you can only buy hdb if you are a citizen or PR. PRs can't buy brand new, can only buy Resale unless married to a citizen and buying together. I am aware of this. And even for resale flat, PR alone cannot buy, must at least marry another PR. |

QUOTE(weehournow @ Mar 1 2022, 09:45 AM) I am currently 30 years old with 5+ years of working experience in the legal industry. For my current job I am drawing a salary of RM4600+. I work in Johor btw. I feel that I am somehow stuck due to my slow career progression so I have been thinking about moving to Singapore. Reviving the thread to check in with on your decision. I found a potential job which offers SGD3.5k at most, which means most likely they will only be paying 3.2k (optimistic?). I know for a fact that if I move to KL I could land a job that would pay me MYR5k+. So the dilemma is should I go to SG for smaller pay (disregard the conversion) and start afresh or to KL? Appreciate any constructive view. Thanks. Edited: Since some of you replied asking for more details before giving advice, i thought I should supplement more info: 1. Single. No plan to start a family. In fact no plan to get into a relationship. Can foresee myself single till the day I die. 2. My previous jobs include lawyer and legal editor. Now working as a legal exec (in house). Sidetrack, With the new immigration framework, I heard it's much harder for non-tech people to move to Sg. Do you have any insights on this? |

Short answer: SG. Long answer: Singapore Give it a shot of a year or 2. If it doesn’t work out, come back. Bossku_Johor liked this post

I'm still studying and I currently have a diploma in mechanical engineering. I have a plan to work at SG for 3 months during my sem break as a technician. Is it a good idea ? . Your thoughts?

Legal editor? Mind elaborate more on your jobscope? In SG, most submission are done via E-litigation, online filing be it Divorce, Power of Attorney, Letter of Administration/Grant of Probate etc etc. Just be mentally ready to pick up new stuff.

Hdb is a public housing, there are many rules to follow in order to buy a hdb, such as A hdb owner could not own a foreign property, only married min 3 year sgp pr can own a hdb., and one should fulfill some other quota requirement before he/she can purchase a hdb. There are many other rules to follow before or after one purchases a hdb too. 😂 |

honestly speaking, at the age of 30 to get monthly pay SGD 3.5K is quite low. I can barely survive with SGD2.7K in the past 10 years ago. But nevertheless, Good luck TS.
