Not very favourable, main reason: hardly any ang moh convert to citizen

My wife gets a lot of Post cereals for me at Changi Point Mall...$4.95/box at one of the dollar store type shops in the basement. I'm an ang moh, and I live on cereal...hope that helps fuel your addiction. ;-) Lol, I also get from same place as I work st cbp.At fairprice same thing costs 5.50. I al...

It is IMHO the same level of paranoia to expect somebody would be copying your signature as for the shop assistants refusing to accept an unsigned one. Unfortunately, the later, as JR8 already mentioned, violates the CC's T&C. And it is the same level because I don't really believe the signature ge...

Hi Volt240, Don't give up. You have a chance. Let me tell you my story. I am an employer by the way. I appeal quite a few time but this mth i appeal and approve for my S-pass holder. My Work permit holder has been with me for 7mth. A private degree cert from Singapore private school. i applied S-pa...

lol, how much more paranoid can you get? I would like to know more about you kookaburah, tell me what else do you do, to say secure your house,your email, your bank account? Do you use online banking at all?

How is the PR situation with Australia, though, at the moment? With Singapore almost closing its doors to the biggest PR users/abusers group, I am guessing a lot of that traffic is going to route to Australia? Does Australia have any such racial profiling of PR applications? How is it for IT guys to...

What documents do they need in order to open an account in Singapore. Will just my passport suffice?

Passport and your employment pass or in-prinicple approval letter.

Thanks JR8 for confirming!

You mentioned there arent too many foreigners in your company, so looks like your job can be done easily by locals especially considering you are fresh out of college. I think there lies the problem. Feel sorry for you mate. I would suggest dont waste your time here. See if you can get a job for you...

Regarding point 2, speaking in Singapore context, Citibank surely has more ATMs than HSBC. Almost every MRT has a Citibank ATM, the same cant be said about HSBC Citibank, ANZ, HSBC, Maybank, SBI Singapore and Standard Chartered all share an ATM network in Singapore. You can use any of them intercha...

Moving to Singapore. Need to know which bank would be better: CitiBank Gold or HSBC Premier 1. Less fees 2. Broad usage of ATMs 3. Intl wire transfer 4. Access to money 1) Citibank SG will have less fees than HSBC for most usage IMO. I left HSBC when I moved here and picked Citi (along with a local...

Dont all of you guys feel that this looks like a perfect storm? I mean culmination of a lot of things that would have otherwise been abnormal here? 1)Costs going up due to inflation and hence companies retrenching people 2)Manpower tightening by MoM 3)Now we are having labour strikes, something comp...

AFAIK, the banks in CBP are CS, Barclays Cap, Citi, SCB and DBS. I havent heard of UBS employees being present in CBP until now. Well, for the building maintenance, they always send a notification to ORQ or Suntec. Both ORQ and suntec nice office locations, CS has a branch in ORQ and ORL with lovel...

I think the mistake SMRT did is to take the PRC drivers on as "Employees" on their payroll. They should have just taken them on vendor payroll as other IT companies and banks do. Everyone knows very well that employees are treated like gods while vendor payroll guys are treated like dogs when it com...
