Plavt,
We have earlier in this thread that locals are disgruntled about losing their jobs, and now we have here about foreigners losing their jobs..

SMS,
As you said it, this is not what the topic is about.. Yes, i should have been more guided in my opinion.

Do they count as Singaporean?

If it is not virus, chances are your computer is overheating, which is why it takes a while to get hang..either your CPU or Power supply fan is not working.
High chance the power supply unit itself that is going to conk off.

Either you have been sleepwalking while you are living in SG or put on a deaf ears and not feel the rumbling on the ground. Have you care to read the local papers to see and understand the disgruntle comments on the locals here ?If you are a local, you must been paid handsomely for your work or rep...

[quote="sundaymorningstaple"] This is not true at all. All the things that are deemed illegal to classify a jobseeker by in western countries is a MUST HAVE by Singapore employers.

First of all, do not be unduly worried about the non response from Singapore companies. It is only natural that since you are applying from UK and your presence is not in Singapore, employers will find it hard to grant an interview with you, even if they wish to.

For imports of goods, it depends on what mode of transport you are using. If you have the goods sent by parcel post, the postman will deliver your goods he will collect the GST from you. If you are using Courier services, then the Courier companies will pay on your behalf and collect the gst from yo...

also the SCT doesnt support this kind of small cases. What do i do? The Small Claims Tribunal does take up this type of cases, eg for the provision of goods and services. For amount less than S$5000, your fees is only S$50, above $5000 to $10,000, it is $100 per case. There are no lawyers involved,...

First just click on "my computer" and see how much free disk place you have. If you still have a more than 1 gb, most probably you have clicked on to the latest virus emails circulating around last week. You need a good antivirus program to delete the virus in safe mode. If you have anti virus progr...
