Hi all, Thanks for the replies. The SGD350K gross p.a. figure I quoted includes the housing, schooling and transport allowances. Upon further consideration, I think SGD 380K would be more appropriate, as the school fees are closer to SGD100K p.a. than SGD70K p.a. I have not quoted any numbers to the...

Hi all, Thanks for your advice. I checked the school fees again, and I do agree- SGD100K for 2 kids is more realistic- if you include all the miscellaneous expenses (enrollment, excursion fees, school uniforms, school bus, CCA fees etc.) Thanks for the tip re. the SRS contribution- I will definitely...

In fact, they don't have to give a reason- there is no judicial review of such decisions- so how do you know the reasons for rejection are reasonable? All I'm saying is that the public polic...

Actually this whole ''2nd generation PR needs to serve NS'' is a big con by the Singapore govt. Here's why: 1. The Singapore govt often hints that its neighbourhood is not the most secure (i.e. Malaysia and Indonesia are not good neighbours and have threatened to cut off the water/gas supply). There...

Hi PNGMK- thanks for the reply. Just to clarify- I don't want to get my PR back. I am asking if I can get a PEP (personalised Employment Pass). Your advice pretty much confirms my hunch. Although I do know of at least 1 case similar to mine. He was the same age cohort, Malaysian dad, Japanese mum. H...

Question for the likes of Mad Scientist (if he is still around). I would like to know the chances of a Personalised Employment Pass being approved, should I take up a job offer in Singapore. Background info: - Male, born in 1971, in U.K, to a British father and Singaporean mother; - British citizen ...
