yup. my landlady just told me this morning that she wants to increase the rent to $450/mth.
and now, she's bringing ppl back to view my room

where u stay?

Hi there, anyone know what is the requirement to apply credit card for malaysian non PR? I heard ppl said it is 60k perannum?

yes, 60k per annum. can either apply for DBS or citibank platinum..free 3 years annual fee.

i'm staying in Boon Lay.
the problem is, she wants to increase the rent from next mth onwards, since today is 15th, she is only giving me 2wks notice.
she told me to consider, but in fact, she has posted the ad online a wk ago.
and she's bringing ppl back to view my room just now.

the financial crisis has any impact on the job opportunity in singapore? read frm paper today that singapore in technical recession

What is ur current rental per mth BTW?

If per room sharing with another 1 more person, i wouldn't mind at all.
Moreover, how are you going to get a room in 2 weeks? Believe me, it is going to be tough for you. Find and move, I tried and get everything done for 3 weeks, it is real suffering.

But Maybank giving 10 years free annual fee. My Paper stated yday or 2 days ago.

nope i don't think there is such thing as 60k per annum...it is stated there..but it is loosely implemented.

u can apply if u have at least 30k per annum....just that ur credit limit will be lower...
hope tat helps...

come back malaysia ba..

heard that Singapore industries are affected by economy crisis recently and quite a lot of companies dismissed their staff to lower down their costs.

with the current economy like this, i dun think there is any concession given, now is mortgage subprime, next year credit card crisis..

This is a normal phenonemen, not just happen in SG. SG Gov has already sounded the alarm to warn its people. SO be prepared, be it local of foriegners alike, all face a similar situation

The credit crisis looks like it's may have been averted by the concerted action by central banks worldwide. But then, more and more govts are coming out to guarantee bank deposits.. trying to send a message of stability but at the same time hinting that local retail banks are actually becoming increasingly unstable.

The recession, in Singapore and elsewhere in the world, has already begun. Today's drop in the markets are not due to the credit crisis, but the simple fact that the more than a trillion $ injected into the financial system does not change the fact that the world is in a deepening recession and demand destruction is increasing in severity.

Singapore will be no exception. The stock mkt's already affected badly, the job market will be affected soon as investments dry up and companies simply refuse to spend (my company has banned all travel, entertainment, new expats, relocations, hiring and promotions until further notice. Next year's budget is -8% of this year's actual). After the job market softens, the housing market will follow suit as less people buy property and more people are unable to service their loans.

If you have money... keep it and prepare to invest as the market bottoms (don't know when though). If you have no money, now is the time to keep your head down and work hard so that if retrenchment comes, they'll fire someone else instead of you because you're the better performer.

almost forget that i ask this question here.

anyway, thx for solving my headache, hehe...

i wonder what is their decision...guess i have to wait..
hmmm...now i thinking whether to still proceed to SG to work.
