Thanks FX man for clarifying.

Few months back I was approached by an Insurance Agent and I decided to purchase term insurance for coverage. While processing, the insurance agent highlighted that according to their database, work permit holder is not permitted to buy insurance. Apparently, the big insurance Co like Prudential, AI...

Updates on MOM website. The following link will give a foresight to foreigners looking for jobs in Singapore. http://www.mom.gov.sg/foreign-manpower/passes-visas/employment-pass/before-you-apply/Pages/Institutions.aspx I wish to highlight the following points by MOM:- Recognised qualifications To be...

After being in Singapore for 5 months, I hope to contribute some anecdotal experience to forumers here. It has been a roller coaster ride since Oct 2009. Both of us are now having a comfortable life and pushing up our savings. A few points for people seeking job in Singapore. 1. Election database ha...

Thanks jpatokal.

Hope the employer is willing to compromise to raise to $2000. Agonizing wait and sleepless nights. I am feeling the tightening.

She has a Business Admin Degree and Diploma from Malaysia. Salary she was offered is $1800 from an MNC. It is so depressing...

What was the hiccup ameretto? What causes the delay? My gf S-pass applicatioon just got rejected. Looking for advice here.

Withdrawal of application is done by the employer as far as I am concern. At least that was my conversation with MOM. We will highlight the problem to the previous employer and agent on the withdrawal. I hope the previous employer doesnt go around playing tricks and bad mouth to MOM. Another painful...

Thanks a heap SMS!! I think I got the qouta concept horrendously wrong. Well amidst of the uncertainties, she was offered another job by a MNC offering $1800. However, it is a 1-year contract based job and convertible upon conditions. Surprisingly, the S-pass application will be handed over to an em...

Folks, I read from the MOM website a 25% qouta on Spass. This is equivalent of 4 Singaporeans/ SPR employed to hire 1 S-pass holder. Correct me if I'm wrong. For a small local firm is it possible for a company of 5-6 people, to hire 2-3 S-passes? Any chance for the employer to walk out unscathed by ...

economic and SMS, Noted with thanks!!. SMS, These are those info I couldnt get from MOM websites. Appreciate your prompt feedback. However, through the S and EP eligibility test, she was awarded an S pass but no EP after keying the salary less than $1800. Although this doesnt serve as an assurance, ...

Cold, Irvine and Naka, Thanks on the words of encouragement. Certainly need a lot of doses =) Good news. After 4 hectic interviews in Singapore, she finally landed 2 jobs!!!!!. My birthday recently passed and my wish was granted. I thank God so much for answering my calling. Althought the job does n...

SGBoy, I am afraid you're just scouring the surface. Deep down under there is strong resentment coming from the Singaporeans on the Foreign Talent Policy of the Government. Login to StraitsTimes and look at the disgust the locals are posting. For foreigner like me, I get goosebump as I always though...

I couldnt appreciate more with the feedbacks I received. Thanks for the support folks. The plan is a bit topsy-turvy at the moment. She will be attending 2 interviews on Thursday and 1 on Friday. Temporarily, I am shutting down my "plans" and keeping my fingers crossed. IF she pulls this off, a sigh...

Dear forumers,

Bad news.
