ya.
most of the packages come with free USB modem.
you have to use another USB device to do that, it can be used as USB modem and network switch.

hmm...maybe yes if we talk about hardware components(ie: mobo, gc, psu, ram and etc)
you better go to SLS for those parts.

but some promo are really good.
you cant find this kind of promo in msia.

the best place to shop imo should be the Tebrau City, there are quite a lot of branded shops.

go to IRAS website to contact them (through feedback or email)
they need some proof on your new job though, ie: new work pass/employment letter/employment verification letter.
i got the cheque after appeal about 3-4 weeks.

@Joshua

thanks for that, but i'm worried i cant even survive a month in singapore with my savings, and that i wonder does sg companies pay more to fresh grad than companies in KL?

i mean, is that a wise choice for a fresh grad to start his career in SG rather than KL? or a fresh grad should get at 2 years working experience before trying luck in SG?

save more to survive lah.
again please stop asking us to spoonfeed information to you, it's already repeated hundred times in this and previous thread. yawn.gif

Are you in sales since you can job hop so often? No need job commitment.

confirm no blacklist.
i also resigned before 3 months no problem whatsoever.
but please take note that if you leave the company before 189days, IRAS will charge you 15% income tax.
you can get the money back if you just change employer in sg.

currently working in aviation industry based in Changi.
our GM just have a talk with us last week, our company profit is slightly decreased.

Thats 15% only apply for those who pay income tax, but it should be no prob for those who dont need to pay income tax right?

Yea, usually recession will only trickle down next year, unless you get overseas contracts which last a couple of years, then should be able to weather the financial downturn.

yeah, afaik S pass holder confirm will kena.
not sure about income tax for EP and work permit.

i just know nicvoo also kena. tongue.gif

But AFAIK, Malays will surely suffer here for what I seen so far working here.

1) Companies normally won't tolerate Malays to go for Fridays prayers unless you are willing to skip ur lunch for prayers.

2) Very hard to find mosques to pray unlike in Malaysia unless you are so lucky able to find one just opposite ur office.

3) For makan, it's a bit difficult for faithful Malys bcos normally food courts sells pork rice... the next stall can sell halal food.... and some of my frens even say SG got halal punya babi... hmm.gif  hmm.gif  On top of that, its extremely difficult to search for halal food... there are so little mamak stalls here...

4) I have even heard bosses here in SG prefer more Chinese than Malays bcos they know Mandarin.... but the fact is many Malays dunno Mandarin....

That's why I am asking some Malays here to give some advice bcos my Malay fren is interested to earn some SGD in SG.... rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
*
1)my company give muslims longer break on Friday.(12.30-2.30pm)

2)there is a mosque 10 minutes away.

3)we have malay stall in our company, there is another malay stall at a food court nearby.

i think you should get either singtel or starhub.
2mbps speed is enough for your daily use.
since you wont use it for torrent, 50gb data limit for singtel wont be an issue.
better stay away from m1, i heard lotsa complaints from users. doh.gif

Izit? I have a colleague whos using the m1 and she says its only slow from 7pm-9pm. After that its ok. Izit 50gb data limit for singtel? I thought it was lower then that, and isnt singtel blocking torrents like tmnet?

I heard a rumour that next year all of the mobile broadband speeds will be upgraded. So if i sign up now, i wouldnt be able to enjoy the benefits of these faster speeds?
*
you should check it out here, a lot of people complaining about M1 broadband.
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/forumdisplay.php?f=4

singtel don't block torrents, i used to download torrent few weeks ago.
i think you will be able to enjoy the benefit just like what singtel did on my plan.
they automatically upgrade my speed without additional charge.

Never go to Sim Lim Square for consoles, especially the shops near to the ground floor.

I recommend you go to http://www.qisahn.com/
or Seow Choon game shop just behind the Sim Lim Tower (note: it's opposite of Sim Lim Square)

If you wanna buy computer stuffs, don't buy at singapore, go back to KL and buy at lowyat instead (for those who are from KL)... it is about 25% more cheaper after conversion.
*
it depends on what stuff you wanna buy lah.
Leadtek 9600GT SGD141 (*2.38 = RM336), can you find cheaper than this in KL?

please don't jump into conclusion so fast. doh.gif whistling.gif

For this it is cheap oso, but maybe not 25%, perhaps it's around RM320 if not mistaken. Bcos last month, I just bought all hardwares from MY and assemble it in SG. Total cost is RM3566 but if the same rig same specs, it is around $1,700++ and bcos in Sim Lim I heard alot of tipu case as well, means non-ori parts.
*
hmm...just checked, indeed it's around the same.
last time i used to compare the price, some of SLS hardwares are cheaper than LYP.
how come now become most of the pc stuff is more expensive now?
maybe due to US currency rate? hmm.gif
