hey , .. im wondering what are available electronic or electrical companies in sg ? ... im referring to those which are well-known. well i only know there is national semicon. ..

hows the demand of e n e engineer in sg anyway ? .. planning to find job in sg mid of next year.

Whats there at kl which is better then singapore?

mamak and CC?

Food & overall human behaviour. singaporean kiasi and kiasuness really pissed me off (my singaporean friend admit the kiasi and kiasuness within most singaporean). And i really doubt the food stall's cooking skills, bloody sucks. but if u talk about hotel food and varieties, singapore win.

ppl always say singaporean kiasi & kiasu, but Malaysians not better off i think. I still think singaporeans are more considerate and better-mannered. I'm malaysian btw. but singapore's hawker food.. aih.. very sad.

Yea true. But thats only driving, you cant judge them solely on driving ethics. Usually they speed since their counrty got no place can drive fast. Me i become slowpoke drive at around 90-100km on highway since i only waste fuel trying to go fast. Plus i can relax and hear diana krall at lower speeds much better since doesnt have intrusive sound you get when you speed.

I read from news that Malaysia has not been hit by the economic crisis. Is this true?

In Singapore, the job advertisements on the newspapers are getting thinner.

anyone can tell me how much would a room with preferred attached-toilet cost in tiong bahru area or nearby surrounding area (bukit merah, queenstown, etc.)?

anyone here staying around tiong bahru that has room vacancy or want to share out a whole unit??

nope, it is NOT only driving. i lived in JB for 6+ years and their behaviour in JB (especially driving and shopping) is annoying. even within their country, i'll say they sux so bad too. lets talk about house rental policy, a lot of house owner limit water and air con usage but still charge u a lot ($100 for air con alone). then talk about work policy, customer pay u money then u diam diam and do the ass. singapore practice customer = god, worker = dog more than malaysia.

u see the MRT, when train arrive everyone go block the entrence, inside ppl have to push here push there to come out. ok la, this also happen in malaysia. but there are few time, i saw a father pushing his 3 or 4 years old kid into a LRT that full of ppl, without letting anyone inside to come out. i see the little girl so kesian kena squeeze n squeeze by the ppl coming otu and the father keep pushing and pushing. i also saw mother with baby pram (got baby inside) having her own good time "filling" and give us the "i got baby here okay, u SHOULD give me way" kind of look at the middle gap that suppose to let ppl come out since everyone is doing their best trying to squeeze into the train. i see all these thing i really get pissed of the parents, i would say they are A class educated ppl with failed mentality.

I am pretty worried about this Friday. I need to cross the causeway

lol thats ridiculous. for me i wouldn't do that no matter what. 

last time i forgot to remove the passport from my pants and end up tears by the washing machine. it took me 1 month for the new passport after the interview session with the immgration officer. the new passport cost me the same but it only valid for 1 year!  then have to go to mom to update the work permit too.

RM is increasing

The GBP has depreciated against most other currencies. Like the AUD and NZD, everyone including the MYR is stronger against them.

So it's not a case of the MYR being strong, but rather the GBP is weak.

That statement doesn't make any sense. You can't have it good one way, and not good the other way. Otherwise, there are arbitrage opportunities.

The MYR-SGD exchange rate has been around 2.35-2.45 for the last 6 months, indicating that the Singapore and Malaysian economies are moving in tandem vs the other countries, represented by their currencies eg. USD, GBP, Euro, JPY which have been fluctuating strongly due to their status as major currencies. In terms of dependence on international trade (% GDP in exports), Singapore is 2nd, Malaysia is 3rd in Asia. In terms of dependence on foreign investment, Singapore and Malaysia are very similar ie. extreme dependence. In terms of local demand and the size of the domestic economy, both Singapore and Malaysia are equally hopeless.

What's the difference though is that Singapore is positioning itself to face a -10% GDP contraction in 2009, but Malaysia is still deluding itself with -1% (only a couple of weeks ago, still +3.5%) and Najib is still saying that the RM60B mini budget will prevent Malaysia from going into recession. Prevent??! Malaysia is already in a deep recession. Besides RM60B is less than a quarter of sales of one Fortune 50 MNC. Is that enough to 'prevent' a global export-led recession from affecting Malaysia? All this wayang kulit makes Malaysia very vulnerable to a sudden contraction or being caught off guard by larger than expected recessionary pressures. That's because our expectations are still very unrealistic. It'll be like waking up from sleep and realising that your bed is on fire.

does it really matters? cause i just applied mine last week.

I am all in for a gathering! preferably a makan session so that if i cant talk, i can still eat

You r now a tenant, wait until you become a landlord then you will understand. Plus, dun you get annoyed if another housemate of urs keep using the washing machine everyday?

I definately will, plus the drying area is so small for a HDB flat and you just have to be more reasonable with your usage so others can also utilise the washing machine & drying area.

if you want cheap short term accom , try some of the boarding schools off term time.

Not a crime for tenants to rip out fittings and lights ? what BS , or shall I say diarrhea.

NO tenant has any right to take fittings etc unless you specifically allow him .

The state of the place / and deposit is irrelevant in the 1st instance . You can INSIST to make the report if you really want .
@ seantong - where do you work ? cause you sure don't sound like a lawyer.

I frankly speaking can feel it is really PHYSICAL and MENTAL torture. I once came back from Penang and reach JB kastam at around 5:30AM, oh my gosh, it is jam like crazy. I pity those people. Somemore stress when they are waiting for the bus but fail to arrive yet.
