Hi Martin, Coming from a similar background (5 years ago) I strongly suggest you try to get an internal move arranged within your "major euro telco". There are always chances and possibilities you may not even think about before. Try to network, do projects abroad, meet people, give it time but be p...

As long as it's value is below 400$, no issue. For everything above, no matter how old, you pay 5% GST. Go calculate. PC equipment is cheap here.

Just take the picture you like and go to one of the many photoshops. There are some in the basement of Sim Lim Square if you're a computer addict or in almost every other shopping mall. Don't even think about sending it from abroad.

Accounting Software

Hi, After getting some spam snail mail about a software called Tradepac or something like this a couple of days ago (thrown away already) I spent some time to browse through available accounting software packages today.

Should be Danish. The guys who can not write a proper "Ö" or "Ä" 8-). Norwegian is also possible, but that's just a Danish slang, left over from their trip to Greenland I guess ;). Definitely not Swedish or Finish (which is similar to Hungarian...)

Health Insurance as PR

Hi, We've recently got PR granted and now I'm trying to figure out all these CPF things. There is an option for either use the Medisafe portion as it is or alternatively to spend some of it for a health insurance. AFAIK there are only 4 approved insurances: AIA, Asia Life, Great Eastern and NTUC. Co...
