Thanks, that sounds perfect. I'll be in touch with you by private message.

Hi team --

I'm leaving Singapore after a year. I have a lot of clothing to donate. Does anyone know any good organizations that will take it?

Similarly, how about all my leftover canned food?

Thanks!

My wife has what the internet seems to think is "runner's knee." Can anyone recommend a good doctor and/or physical therapist who can help her with this? Someone in the Novena and/or CBD area would be best, but we'll take any advice. Thanks!

My wife has the EP, I have a DP. Her company has not purchased any insurance for her. We now have NTUC insurance, but that wasn't in effect during her procedure (fibroid removal surgery). That surgery cost us $12000 out of pocket, and now we're hoping to recoup that cost somehow.

Thanks!

Hi there,

My wife and I are here on a EP/DP visa. In the last couple of months, we've had significant medical expenses (12k+) that was not covered by insurance. Does anyone know if these expenses are tax deductible, or if there's any way to recoup some of the costs?

Thanks!

I should have taken your advice and created a private limited to begin with.

I thought having a nominee director was a requirement of a Pvt Ltd? Or, less specifically, that a Pvt Ltd requires somebody from Singapore or a PR to be involved?

Hi guys -- I am the original poster for this question. So, you need to ask MOM if you convert your successful business into a private limited company, will they grant you an EP, and under what conditions? For example, you might temporarily need a nominee director who could apply for your EP. It soun...

Got it. No loopholes for me!

Hi there,

I'm running a sole proprietorship here. I do consulting services for ad agencies. I have a simple question: is it better for me to keep my revenue within the company account, or transfer it immediately to my personal account as salary? In terms of taxes, which makes more sense?

My wife and I are have started a group as an excuse to find cheap things to eat and do with people. This Saturday, we're going for cheap Burmese food in the weird Burmese mall near city hall. We invite anyone who looks eating cheap food and meeting new people to join us! We'll meet at 7:30 at Lot, S...

I'm looking for the shops that sell the bizarre Japanese/Asian pop culture things, like bacon keychains or Super Mario mushroom pillows or Domo dolls or stuffed poops or manga backscratchers. I've found one or two shops here or there, but is there any particular store/mall that is known for having a...

Hello friends and those I haven't met before: My wife and I are going to enjoy happy hour this Tuesday night at WineBos. $5 glasses of house wine -- how can you go wrong??? I invite anyone who wants to meet new people to join us. We'll probably get there around 7:00. Winebos is near Clark Quay. You ...

Jenny and I are planning to go out. If nobody more knowledgeable than me posts a venue by tomorrow morning, I'll find something and post it here.

we'll be there!
