Can intro me this job if got vacancy?

Ayam jobless soon

if good offer go ahead... ayam working like that for the past 2 years

just make sure you have a good communication when working from home

I wanna have wfh work too

After covid i got 3 such offers.

All working remotely for Singapore companies.

Rejected. pay scale in accordance to malaysia market.

It is just a new way for them to exploit cheap labour.

ts is proof that just cuz SG company does not mean no sei sohai

Huh ? got ppl say people who work for Sg co is a sei sohai ?

are you getting paid in SDG or MYR?

welcome to /k ?

How much they pay first??

Not true.

I have a few friends who came back during Covid and was offered good pay by Singapore companies (ex-employers).

Good pay meaning higher than Malaysia but lower than Singapore.

Anyway, all happy because every year sure have free pay increment due to depreciation of RM.

ask around for who tax you and which pension scheme they going to contribute your share to

Agreed, by their standards this is actually a pretty low salary but that exchange rate is hard to resist man

They said I gotta handle it myself.

I technically already have EPF from my tuition company and will continue that one

Thanks, just a low level writer position for an online publication

ok je.. this mpg ig this mrng shows 17 year old earning 14k liao. pro kid

Just make sure you are getting paid at Singapore MARKET RATE. Don't convert - biggest mistake for new timers

you are not supposed to and illegal to do that. if you generating your productivity in Malaysia, you need to pay Malaysia tax..
i was working from home during MCO period. syukur LHDN prihatin and waived all the taxes for the productivity i generate in Malaysia during that period.

Now border is opened, your daily travel needs to resume. My work can perform remotely (as i already did it for more than 2 years) but i still do my daily travel.
If LHDN finds out and wants to be anal, you will be in deep shyt...

There was once a minister said "passport is a privileged and not an entitlement". All they have to do is remove this privileged for you and you are screwed.

Isn't that a win win?

When market rate there is $10k but you got offer for $5k, you don't celebrate your RM15k thinking it's very high. You just kena low ball

Good for your friend.
I would not say your friend experience is "not true".

I know my experience is true. They just want to exploit cheap labour.

as long as you step foot in malaysia even for 1 min, its calculated as a day. The 300k daily traveler spend more than 300 days in Malaysia. We also spend more than 200 days in SG.

What you write about?

What happen if they find another Malaysian who can accept RM15k because Malaysia market rate is RM10k?

i think i studied this extensively during MCO and when the border open to understand how a country calculate the tax resident status of an individual..
perhaps you can explain more on your understanding.

That just shows that fella is naive. You have bear the high living cost in SG on your own

SG income tax is one of the lowest in this region.

ma sis also work the same way.

wfh permanently.
but must join the teams meeting everyday.
singapore advertisement company

We are talking about Malaysians working remotely for Singapore, ie staying in Malaysia.

Congrats, become banggala for SG companies

You will need to enter SG from time to time to satisfy Singapore tax requirement. Otherwise you kena 15% tax

M'sia try to implement taxation on oversea income brought home starting this year but was last minute abolised. I won't be surprise if they bring up this law again

Also there's implication to SG company that employ such worker. They are deemed to outsource their job overseas. So company will pay different corporate tax rate then they are found to do so...

There are tax treaty for income derive outside malaysia doesn't need to pay local income tax if we have paid the foreign tax . That's why i said we cannot generate our productivity in Malaysia and earn SGD.
The law you mentioned were postponed to 2026. I went and read thru all those when they wanted to introduce this law in Jan 2022. went as far as consulting a tax agent as well. Until 2026 there is no issue transfering money back.

The problem now is if the productivity is generated in Malaysia and you are employed as a SG headcount. both your employer and the employee can be fine by Malaysia gov.

As for TS case, hope that he gets paid in RM with SGD convert instead of getting SGD and trying to do illegal stuff. My friend gets a job in SG pre-covid that wfh. Due to this tax issue, the company offered to pay her via an agency in Malaysia the same rate she got paid in SGD under Malaysia payroll.

Pay is SGD or MYR?

my ex job was WFH all the while since even during pandemic.. my current also same.. happy about it.... more flexible.... WFH i love it!!

Whats the reason behind dont convert? From contract to full time?

Ok what

Work at home

Nice and dandy

two years thread still korek out?

Congrats, take it, however got EPf or not?
Is it typical China 🇨🇳 director company?

I was working remotely for Singapore company, with EPF, about USD7.5k + guarantee bonus of usd20k, albeit I loss in fixed USD conversion rate (about 5% after I got the contract and usd keep going up)

So that you are compensated at a fair rate...

i'm wfh for a singaporean company.. accounting firm.. so far so good..

good thing is the bosses and colleagues are nice and genuine type, no office politics, no drama.. workload is not too high.. decent salary.. and being wfh of course save so much time on commute and eating out.. have time to cook my own lunch and dinner so can save more money.. at lunch time can have a nap..

bad thing so far is need to turn on laptop camera where everyone can see everyone's faces.. boss say do this because to imitate office environment where can see everyone, or call out for meeting to another chatroom.. can only turn off during lunch time.. but i don't really have a problem with it though.. seems like everyone sometimes will disappear from their camera to do house chores and boss didnt mind at all..

But in the end it all really depends on your company arrangement and how the do it lar.. for me so far i like it working here

envy those ppl got hired by MNC..my friend all working for MNC all WFH

Hmm i got reached out by a sg firm, it industry, pay is in MYR, following malaysia market price for my profession, but full time.

Sounds like i shoudnt take a full time role then?

Regardless of which company, if work in Singapore pay must in SGD market rate. If work is in Malaysia get paid in MYR market rate is fair.

Turn on camera when wfh? Can see that there’s no trust by your boss.

yes they later send u for site visit at vietnam too. One way ticket though

untuk melayu ada tak kerja wfh ni....lelaki bujang

Forgot to mention its full WFH, do you share the same sentiment? Personally i havent come across any full WFH job in malaysia yet

Most new jobs they won’t advertise as full WFH but what most people will do is once employed you negotiate with the boss once you are confirmed in the new job. You need to gain boss trust first

Im supporting both MY and SG, based MY salary SGD12k 😏

it's not like i need to be in front of my laptop all the time.. i still can do house chores or cook.. same goes to my colleagues they all got do their own stuffs while camera is on.. some even sleep or go out because they will be gone like an hour lol.. boss sees all that and got no problem with it

What sorta job that is....?

Ada ke org necro tered 2 tahun lepas....

wtf???? this is the first time i heard of this. next level micro management.

Sounds like boss allow to micro ponteng. Not ponteng whole day

My Malaysian consultants are "Singapore based" seconded to Malaysia earning SGD and getting per diem everyday and stay home paying Malaysia expenses.

Such good deal but still won't wanna re-join consultancy.

yes, me, and…?
