Difference in perspective I guess? Haha .. but things can get stressful too at times.

Sure. There’s no such thing as a free lunch right?

Haha .. I wish .. free lunch is good

Not so much for myself. I have enough to retire with my spouse. The consideration changes when you have young ones. Don’t find any place where the 2nd generation has to work harder than their 1st gen economic migrants.

True for those who are starting out, but Singapore at least pays a wage commensurate with your ability - at least far better than what Malaysia is offering.

True i wouldnt want my kids to waste 2 years serving ns . So sg is out of the question. Australia sounds like a good place, maybe ill migrate there

New bloods coming to singapore is alway like this one. By the time u know it, you’re 15-20years in, career good, life is good, and the last nail is if your kids love being in sg. As you get older, you’ll realize your life plan revolves more around your kids. I don’t have kids myself, but I see that’s what happened to many of my fellow Malaysians. Once your kids anchor themselves to Singapore, you let go of your pipe dream retiring in Malaysia

crowded public transport,
occasional people who don't shower


Sometimes I prefer to take the bus from its starting point. Luckily, I only live one bus station away from the MRT/bus interchange. I don't like standing on the bus as too small space in bus.

I prefer double-decker buses and always go upstairs to sit. This type of bus can accommodate many seats.

Sometimes, people work until late at night, not because they don't take a shower. Some people work in heavy jobs and sweat a lot.


The food at the coffee shop is really not good. It all tastes the same, like it's made by a machine chef. But the food at the hawker center is overall nice.

My short term target is to get PR so can force myself to save more and also employeer contribution
But now the dream seem so far to me

Current company is good, but the management is micro manage
WFH ask why
Apply AL also ask why
Work until not happy, everyday endless tasks
live like walking zombie, Stress like hell sia

Thought of changing new job but hard to get the same current salary
Also my heart still back in Msia not here

One good have no two good. At least salary is good and company is good.
Work for the money lo... see money than happy lo... no need to see management.

You already applied PR?
How many months already?

No bro just started work here literally 3 mths
Still not stable yet
Won't apply

If you have s pass or ep,


Work 6 months straight away apply...

Now salary threshold keep increasing

They are more choosy now, compared to last time.

Yes.

I wonder my younger sister can get S Pass or not....

She still work at malaysia.

No intention to work at sg.

Then why would she need an S pass if she doesn’t want to work in Singapore?

She just graduated, so she doesn't have the courage and confidence to work in Singapore. She'll take it slow.


But, you know, the salary in Malaysia is low, so she will eventually come to Singapore. That's what I think.......

What’s her degree in?

Multimedia design

To be honest, Singapore is experiencing a slow down in hiring across almost every job front, so maybe it's good for now that your sister is keen to try working in Malaysia first. Hopefully when things improve, she'll be ready to come down and join you.
