They used to allow the old ppl reaching 55 to withdraw 50% of their CPF..but now the policy is changing... You need to kept a minimum sum amount in your CPF..

You guys never read news kah? The government at SG said they wan to fired more than 20k workers from malaysia liao and you all still wan go there work. It's obviously they don wan malaysian to 'chiang fan wen' with the singaporean liao mar. Still wan go there for wat. Go there edi, than kena fired lagi. Waste time only

ya...mom called me up n ask did i get any letter...

not affected

i think should be okie la. All my fren just went there all got hired. There is always opportunity there even when economy is so bad. Furthermore, mostly affected is those frontline industry and manufacturing company. So other service sector i dont think will be much affected. No doubt that company has now very careful in hired people. They are now looking for "talented" and im sure interview process ervything will be more strict than before. Just my 20 cents. im planning to go there as well...

aihhhh i got 3rd interview interview invitation from a MNC as software engineer on the 18th December 2008. Then my current company (which is SUPER small and low paid) doesnt allow me to take leave. So the interview postponed to 22-Dec-08 afternoon. Then the HR gal suddenly call me in the morning on 22-Dec that the manager suddenly got urgent stuff need to go France. so my interview kena postponed. So after 1 week i called, she say manager coming bck on 5th-Jan, will let me know if any updates. Then today i called again, she said " OH, i check whether the manager back or not and let you know" .... sighz.....feel like hangus d....so hard only got until 3rd stage. sad la... If can get there is an SGD 1k increment in my salary SAD!! Any hope ar?? Sumore they already ask me bring my passport there, make me feel like confirm getting it..now feel like hopes shattered

anyway jus pray hard tat u'll get it else theres still always other comps its not the end of the world

i wonder y ther's lotsa pinoy...
in my working place almost 50% pinoy
i hate em

Agreee with both of u guys... i always feel like i am in PRC here. not being racist but those pinoy in my company acutally loves to create unnecessary politics

i went to jurong point last sunday and i dont think i'm in singapore anymore. the park, mrt, bus, interchange is flooded with banggali/non malaysian or singaporean....

Why are you guys so racist? We are foreigners as well... same as those Chinese from China..

I like to work with Philippines colleagues. They are all very friendly.

izzit apply to malaysians??i tot only for bangladeshi rite

rental got drop price ma?

Hmm seem like SG many foreginers also...but 1 thing I would like to ask... the criminal rate in SG is very very low right?

yeah, they have one of the most efficient police force in the world.
but anyway, low crime doesn't mean no crime.
you can see this slogan in hdb area quite often.

Part time still have. Some companies prefer that way cause the overhead is lower. No other commitment. So fat those foriegners gone home are the highly paid ones especially those from Fin sector. If really retrench, not jsut Malaysians, locals also kanna.. Don't read too much into those media report on foriegners sure go 1st.. some turth and sometimes, CRAP rubbish and not true. lots will depends on your job and company's nature. what's being practice to date, hoping it will work, reduce working days - reduce pay, keep jobs.. last resort not really up yet for many small companies, but never say never... its a matter of time and when.. will it happen? anyone's guess

my fren's dad is an engineer at Energizer in Sg, n now he's very afraid to lost his job lor. Sg are reducing Msian workers there.. tho he is an engineer u know..
