The fingerprint capture machine is not as reliable as iris capture.
*
Yeah no issue with iris, only my thumb. No idea why. Lol .. but unfortunately they don't allow collection when you failed fingerprint.

When you take the collection slip from ICA to the post office to collect identity card, the fingerprint reader cannot read your thumbprint.

Maybe the post office uses a poor-quality fingerprint reader?

I went to their headquarter at payar lebar. So I doubt so ba

dont have i think they expect us to learn from the internet now. haha
she received a few  1 is to add beneficiary, then 1 is the policy from bank, another 1 is the letter to top up. other i also forgot coz i lazy to read her mail lol
not sure on this but my guess is that 5% contribution now is not enough to cover the yearly premium especially the cpf contribution will be split into a few accounts. next year premium they will deduct from CPF i think

she has to transfer 300+ to her medilife account.
or mayb due to sweaty palm. last time when they take my thumbprint for EP card the officer had to take a few time coz my fingerprint is too wet haha.
*
Dam I think I need to read the letter .. I think I threw it away lol

I don't have sweaty palms. Unfortunately, they couldn't read them .. both hands .. quite swey that day. And I could only head down to ica a week later, which would be tmr for collection.

At the autogates when exiting or entering Changi, the machine no longer checks my fingerprints, only iris or face scan…. So I dunno why the fingerprint capture is even necessary but since it’s the law, and since we are in Singapore, just follow law hahaha
*
Yeah kinna the rule. Just have to follow. I wanted to request for my ic and head down to ica by myself to get it resolved on the same day .. but of coz that's not allowed .. haha .. although it is just a few stops away.

I didnt have my salary on hold by employer.
If not mistaken, the 9% is employer + employee. So employer only provide 4%.

I did go for 20 + 17. Too bad my company don't provide 5 + 17.

The first month of 20 + 17 kinda pain though...
*
Dam ure rich .. haha .. if my company had not offered me 5+17 I would have gone for gradual. They even sent reminder to remind me to submit my application. I was like a headless chicken busy with my own schedule and disregard their emails describing what I should do after.

Does that mean you can keep the EP or S pass and have your new blue IC at the same time?

Just to keep it as a memento .. I even get to keep my student lol

Haha, ok. I can’t seem to find my old Q pass card, so I guess I must have handed that in to exchange for my blue IC… that’s why I’m asking whether we need to hand our passes in or otherwise. Thanks for clarifying

I rmb it was compulsory to return your pass. I returned my EP when I moved to student. But, apparently it no longer the case.

Mine handed back. I believe yours the same.
Back then EP was only a paper laminated card (green color if I remember correctly), not even a hard card type.
WP was a hard card like current.
*
Wow .. seems like EP was the lower end of WP .. haha

In my day, we were given a Q pass. Which from memory, has 2 categories, Q1 and Q2. As my salary was so low, I was given the lesser of the Q pass (I can’t remember which) … essentially like a work permit but for white collar workers. Or, you could look at it as an EP but waaaay cheaper.

The difference was I was actually invited to apply for PR after I finished housemanship and I jumped at the opportunity.

Ah ok haha .. things were so different compared to now

I just finished the PR formalities at the ICA building.

Service: Collection of IC (New SPR)

The staff said I can only book the date of collection of the IC from tomorrow onwards.
When I keyed in my IC number, the system said it could not be found.
Just ask for info:
If I enter the SG casino now, do I need to pay the Day Levy of S$ 150?

My S Pass is still with me.
*
You can try and tell us .. haha

My guess is no. Try checking your singpass. Your data should be wiped out.

Funny you should say that.

I’ve just handed in my citizenship application about a month and a bit after I renewed my Malaysian passport earlier in May!

But this is for practical reasons and purposes. The bulk of my wealth and properties are tied to Singapore. I live in a freehold landed property bought with special permission in joint name with my Singaporean (ex Malaysian) wife, and as I will be retiring to Sydney, I need to be a citizen in order to hold on to that landed property, in addition to keeping all my other investment properties in our names. Otherwise, I’ll have to remove my name from our matrimonial home.

I will still be a proud Malaysian in my heart though.

Wow finally .. After years of deliberation lol

It wasn’t an easy decision, and I don’t mind telling you now that behind the scenes, I’ve written letters to appeal to keep my freehold landed property to SLA and even the Ministry of Law, but the law was very clear, with no room for negotiations as my property was bought after they enacted the ownership law on landed houses.

Well, do what you have to do. Haha

You can only select a time slot one week in advance for your appointment to collect your IC card.

For example, if today is June 12, you can book an appointment for any date starting from June 19 onwards.
This is what you mean?
*
Yes .. when I chose mine, I had many available slots. Just choose a day and disregard the time. I selected 11 but went there at 2.

Until now, the website still shows all June dates in white and pink, indicating they are either Non-Working Day Or Dates Not Released/Available For Booking.
But I notice woodlands post office only like that.

Next week's dates are available for collection at either Clementi Post Office or Jurong Point Post Office.

I do not notice these capital letters sentences....

If I select a 3 PM time slot, can I go to the post office at 8 AM to collect my IC?

Do we still need to print out this paper and bring it to the post office, or do we just need to bring the collection slip (the ICA officer gave us the slip during formalities)?
*
The slip will do. I am not sure about being there early because I got mine later from my scheduled timing. Why do you choose the west area? It's dam far from the north. Choose somewhere central.

What letter you have received?

A letter telling you to activate your singpass. You will only get it 3 after your ica procedure
