mdr actually a company name
for the work permit they have certain criteria
but it depends on ur boss wanna give which permit also

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20080919/tap-a...gs-832f4ab.html

So the boss has the final say on whether you get a WP, S pass or EP?

Is it possible for your boss to apply you a EP or S pass if your academic qualifications doesn't entitle you for one?

Also lets say your qualifications are of either S pass or EP level, can your employer give you a work permit rather then an S pass?

ok, qiuck one.. i know that a PR or Employment pass holder can drive a malaysian car to singapore for only 10 days, is tat true?

May i know which website shld i refer to? thanks.

hey.. anyone knows what is the average pay a msian will get working in SG?

2 yrs experience in Business field?

anyone working in chartered semicon?
hows the working life there for malaysian?

I think he misunderstood. non sg pr/citizen can drive malaysian car go in singapore for 10 TIMES foc once you apply for autopass..
After 10 times u go in u will be charged 10 dollar per entry to singapore. ERP still count on no matter u 1st or 2nd time drive in to singapore..

Access card is like express lane for you to go through singapore check point by paying 30dollars to apply for it..

i worked as a vendor there b4....wat post u going to apply?.....but its quite stressful working there.....u will get pressured a lot if ur production machine is down.

i think u will get the same amount of pressure from here if any production machine down.
i dont think there is much different in term of working pressure between malaysia or singapore.

i dunno bout msia...cos i been working at sg since i grad....but i still feel the paced is faster here....and i been to msia for technical support....customers did not push me as much....and my colleagues at penang are very slack...long lunch hours...got time for afternoon yamcha.....

cos i know if machine down at chartered...die die also must fix it....i have very bad exp there....

the VEP charges should be S$20/entry, not S$10. more info can be found in the website below

Added on September 22, 2008, 11:10 pmaltho ur fren is a UK degree holder, but her pay is only 1650, if i'm not wrong. the criteria to apply for a S pass is S$1.8k whereas EP is S$2.5k. anyway, ur fren can always clarify with the HR before signing the offer..

Added on September 22, 2008, 11:24 pmchrt is really quite an extreme case. i was there for close to 3yrs while i was doing my part time diploma. the package/benefit is quite gd, AWS, yr end bonus, qtrly bonus, OT, shift allowances, etc. but is really stressful working there. yup, especially when the machine is down, lots are jam, etc. ur machine cannot even idle for 1min, otherwise u'd be question by ur engr. i received 3 spot awards while i was there. 1 was due to a SPSR raised wrongly by an engr to send some backend wafers to a frontend machine. which mean, u have to be alert at all times

the working hrs for normal shift start at 8am, considered pretty early as compare to other coy who usually start at 9am. i always had a hard time getting up so early in the morning

Ok, may I know wat is more worth to buy in Malaysia than in Singapore in terms of daily nessesities bcos I am going back to M'sia tomolo after I miss my homeland for about 6 mths.
AFAIK, 3in1, shampoo, computer hardwares, stationeries, snacks and rice are all worth to buy in M'sia after conversion. What else, I wanna make full use of my car. haha
