How about this?

It is from Yahoo! so I believe that it might be more accurate.

for those who used to drive or like to drive during those days in Malaysia will sure miss ur car at home...

last time can drive to work while in KL but now have to take crowded MRTs to work.

last time can go mamak yamca with frens at 3-4am no nid scare no transport, now need to worry cant catch the last MRT at 11.30pm.

last time can drive fetch my pretty gals go clubbing, now take MRT go clubbing?? Lol.. paiseh paiseh...

No car to drive in singapore really boring... wanted to go out oso lazy, wanted to woo some singaporean pretty gals oso a bit hard.

Thanks bro...for the IDD card info.

I will get back to you tomorrow. I saw from my vista sidebar. I am shock to see suddenly so high also

then y not going back to msia? If not, then better live with it. no pain no gain. help to save more....pretty gals wont care u got car or not if u really capable...also no need to catch the last MRT, u can take the cab, but if you really kiamsiap then dun go clubbing.

hahaha i understand what u mean but u see the idea of clubbing is to meet new ppl, instead of bringing ur gfs there. I dont really see a problem there and i can safely say that many ppl take MRT go clubbing. For me if 'good stuff' did happen i would take the cab back or not i'll take the midnight bus and i think it only runs on weekend . Like you, i always think that its a pain taking the public tranportation where u have to change like 2-3 buses just to get to one place but u know what, i learn to live with it coz its the norm here.

just want to ask,
if u don't have a working permit can u work as freelance?
eg. distributing flyers etc.

If you really want to, you can drive if you're willing to spare roughly S$1000-1500 per month. I can spend up to S$40 a day just to go to/from work in taxis (ERP and surcharges during peak kills!). With 20 working days a week, that's $800 a month already. So buying a car is really not much more than taking regular taxis, especially if you need to go longer distances or go places after work or during weekends.

Lol, i not only miss my car... i missed and sacrifice a lot of things.

Car, gf, mum, pets, buddies, friends, nasi lemak, teh tarik, mamak, dota, torrents, warez, my comfortable bed, my room, my stuffs, my house etc etc just to get a double salary a month in SG.

How good if I can earn SGD by working in KL

You can have quite alot of those things in singapore.

1. Car dont really need since public transport very good, you only want car coz you want it, not need it in singapore
2. Gf just get one here or ask her come work in singapore, parents memang lar, you want 2 work outstation have to sacrifice somethings.
3. If u got buddies in sing no prob, my usually IM my buddies so not that bad, but cant go for teh tarik, gotta go for more ex option like starbucks and finger food at coffee shop not so popular
4. Near my place got CC with dota, so no prob, can also online dota
5. You can torrents, but just like malaysia they throttle it or they will just report u to police by ISP, but that long time never happen

If you want all those comforts compared to double salary, then why not go back since you not happy? I was actually not happy in my own hometown, now better and get better pay so win-win for me. Plus my company do aggressive staff training, not like malaysia ask boss for training he scold u.

Hi, my boss told me many ppl buy toto in yishun and one more place (forgotten where edy) always strike 1st prize (about 3 out of 10 ppl), izit true?

anyone knows how to go there?

which is the lottery day? How much you need to bet?

lol since ur boss told u shoudnt u b asking ur boss instead of us??

i heard about this b4 also....haha...

if really so easy to kena toto...then we all no need to come singapore to work already lor....

Problem is, with the recession, more people will buy more Toto... Yishun and few other places, if you read SG press, every year, they will report which places got the most strike. That's why people go to those places. Its not just once, but they are more like a regular place to strike. that's why...

Many years ago, I was working in Ang Mo Kio, one moulding operator strike 3 mil and packed her bag go back to Sabah. Sometimes such thing its really up to you to believe. If there is a "WANG" place, people will strike lottery... I don't believe in this, but my former company happened to be one such place. Every month, some one will strike, 4D, toto, ollegal betting, etc.... including myself who don't buy at all. You see, it was 1 month before my wedding, and my department supervisor collected $ from everyone to buy 4D every week including mixing those no. together. Guess what, for 3 consecutive week, we striked (not main price), but just 1 week before my wedding, I told them we would concentrated on that final week and stop our bet for that week

SO, BIG NEWS after that. the exact number out 3rd price and our bet... just myself alone, $100 on normal to strike and another $100 on the number to be one of the top 3 prices...... that bet for the department was whatever we won.. few hundreds.. but NONE of us strike because we didn't buy at all because of me.... You believe now? I still can't believe myself.. but it happen.

Do you know the name of my company? Theck Heng... interpret it in Cantonese... means, get lots of luck. HK boss, who strike every year... company was already 20+yrs in SG then. Every week, coffe anuty will go round collecting $ for betting.... can you imagine this happen including from the boss?

hey guys , got some question , I heard if Malaysian wanna work in Singapore need to apply working pass ,how its work and apply ? anyone mind to enlight me on this ?

Any non-Singaporean who is lookin for a job in Singapore need a work or employment pass - why should a Malaysian who is seekin work in Singapore be any different?

It's the employer who applies the work pass for the employee - you can't obtain a work or employment pass by yourself unless your current monthly salary is at least SGD7,000 per month which then allows one to try and apply for a Personalised Employment Pass which is awarded based on individual merits and former earnings.

Very wide question. Anything from $1500 to $150,000 or more, depending on experience and responsibilities.

depend on what industry are you join..
if accounting /audit firm - salary will be lower, but you join big 4 then diff talk.(super stress )
Local company - 1 leg kick ..some generous boss may give you till >/<SGD$2500.00 ,but u need to cover , tax ,secretaries job, accounting,admin,payroll,audit.(Full experience)
Foreign Company - if boss generous ..partial also can earn SGD1800-2200.
my company -partial acctg no cert for my asst ..i requiere till sgd1700 for her .she has been worked with me 2 more years .senang job.no ppl can bully her cos i m here..
important :yr experience & skill ..my company even have big big cert show in fornt my boss ..they also dun care.. they need experience
