i lol-ed at ur "advise" outskirts of sg tuas jurong r all factories so u xpect a guy wif a business degree go to those places to work for higher pay? wat u say is solely industry dependent nuthing to do wif the areas u work. lol those bankers CEO brokers al in the cbd areas r havin lower pay then those workin in the "outskirts" of sg??

2nd one as long as u r within the city limits dun care wheter u say in a shack or in a condo it'll still b expensive irrelevant at all who doesnt know stayig further is more exp.

as of now the recruitment section in the papers hav almost 0 vacancies for manufacturing engineering posts compared to 6months ago u wanna coe in mid next year good luck

http://www.ica.gov.sg/page.aspx?pageid=180&secid=178 more info here instead of letting us provide u wif the wrong info

there is so-called quota of the continuouns social visit pass (the 14-days 1) being issued to u. if u exceed it u gonna need to wait a month to b granted entry again. not too sure abt exactly period though.

i know this bcoz i kena b4. i was being rejected entry at Woodlands checkpoint for this reason n hav to go back KL right after i juz reach JB.

This is absolutely true, this is wat companies in Tuas/Bukit Batok must do to attract employees.
All of us like to work in CBD. If those companies in the outskirts don't pay about $200 to $300 more, no one will be willing to work in Tuas area where you cant assess there by MRT.

This is what I experience, last time I got a job offer in Tuas, they willing to pay me $4000 but in City Hall, they willing to pay me $3,750 only. Both companies are listed and are in the similar industry and my designation oso the same. So in the end, I work in Tuas.



Didn't I mentioned that you must compare the furthest area with the same size room? How can you compare the rent in Orchard with the rent in Bukit Panjang? You must compare the similar condo in Punggol, Bukit Panjang and Boon Lay for example.

I think u are referring to certain jobs, which are available in both central and outskirt areas.
Probably, an accountant who station in outskirt is getting more than an accountant station in central, as there are some companies where their HQ is in outskirt areas.

But of course for auditors / bankers all are in central. While engineers / manufacturing workers mostly will be in outskirt, so not comparable.

u were mentioning tat staying along the green/re/purple lines would be cheaper if the guy who doesnt know much bout sg reading this forum will take it tat avoid the purple line coz sumone mentioned at its xpensive compared to red n green which is totally untrue it isnt along which "line" u stay the price of rent is subjected primarily the location (town n non town) 2nd accessability (mrt lrt bus) 3rd facilities around the area (shoppin center,market etc) 4th the neighbourhood so on n so forth

anyone got retrenched?

hie guys...i would like to know the procedure of getting letter of approval from JPJ Malaysia...

I pass my BTT (Basic Theory Test) in my driving license and what they need is the letter of proof where i drive in Malaysia...i visited the www.jpj.com.my but dono where to seek the information...and 1 session indicate i need to pay rm150 per yr to convert my driving license?

As what i told by my frens in singapore (malaysian) they just take a letter from JPJ and bring it back to Singapore and hand it to Traffic Police at the driving center and pay $50 for the conversion.

Anyone here can help me to clarify the procedures?

Appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi Guys, just started to work in SG. hee hee.... good to know that there are so many Malaysian in SG too.

prob u can ask val
he got his license edi..

Don't know whether is suitable to post here. I have 2 grassland bus ticket to go back ipoh on 22nd Jan 2009 10.20pm departure from golden mile. Anyone interested pls call 91463799(singapore) selling at $110 each

has anyone tried applying for e-xtend?

i'm really confused, i've heard ppl saying that i cannot stay more than 60 days within a 90 days period in sg.. if so, i would have to go back for 1 month before returning..

some say theres no such thing, some say it only depends on your current embarkation card (30 Days), some say this some say that..
n i've been to ICA website, called the hotline several times, been to ICA building to inquire but no exact answers and only different answers.. headache

So, without taking any chance, i'm going to try for e-xtend to get another 1 month of stay here in sg.. any advise to how this system works?

val? in this forum?

i hope he's not taking the whole things here include the practical test

Whaa really no one here converted their driving license

COE $2 only hehe

aiya...
in that case i suggest u to call those driving skool is da best...
call up like bbdc to check it

Wah why so expensive? $110 for 1 ticket 1 way? normal price is only $27 for normal express bus or $47 for high class bus. Are you buying at $47 to resell it at $110? Maybe you can scan and post the receipt here bcos my gf who is from Ipoh is interested to buy but only the price is freaking expensive.

BTW, maybe you can sell it Garage Sales as mods won't allow any selling being conducted over here in this thread.

Kthxbye,
