Thank you so much for your answers. i am gonna do the same as you did and get it done ASAP For CPF trip, Can I just visit anyCPF branch or I must visit CPF headquarter to complete the withdrawal paperwork quickly? Do I need to prepare any documents in advance if I am going to visit ICA and CPF in p...

I definitely cannot (yet) speak mandarin. For the cash issue, I guess via unionpay or alipay as soon as I am able to open a bank account it should not be a matter. Plus they say Shanghai is relatively safe. In any case I agree with you, it makes more sense to just buy it here (being that I might not...

Hi All, I will be moving to Shanghai soon and was wondering if it's more convenient to buy a laptop (and perhaps pc or other gadgets) here in Singapore or in China. I realised that anything imported in PRC is subject to import duties, however I was just thinking might be cheaper for me to buy a lapt...

Thank you for the advises. In fact I just checked and the medishield life premium is $310. In my case with the current balance and the average interest earned on these accounts I believe it is not such a big issue. This insurance would also give me some kind of guarantee if ever I would need some ho...

Hi All, I am planning to leave Singapore by the end of the year, however I am not sure whether I might come back in the short-term (just in case the new job being in some remote emerging market would not work out well). My PR is expiring next year in July and I would like if possible to request a re...

It happened to me some time ago (not PR yet though) to be subjected to the flat 15% tax. Then I had to provide proof to have been in Singapore more than 182 days in the previous Fiscal Year. In fact, I went to IRAS and showed them my passport.. As per IRAS website, the concept of tax resident does n...

I think I'll just wait to see an offer from my company and then from there will make my own analysis (already made some comparison and apparently taxations are higher in HK being there less progressive rates...). If I need to prove my findings are correct I might need to pay someone to say the same ...

My company HR checked with ICA and seems it also depends from my scope of work, hence how is prepared my contract (e.g. If My work is done in hk yet it benefits the singaporean parent company..). That is why I would rather get someone who is expert in SG and HK tax/employment regulations. Do you thi...

Hi, I've been asked by my company to relocate to HK, however I'd like to keep my PR in Singapore, which means been paid mostly in Singapore and also to retain CPF contributions. Do you know any tax/cpf conultant which could help me to verify whether my company is offering me a good tax/cpf equalizat...

Now I remember one more place (if it's still open) a german pub at the groundfloor of United Square. The owner loves beers and has a big variety of bottles from all the globe.

Hi Sturoy,

when I use to live around that area I remember to watch the races at the Harry's in Velocity. They usually show the races.

Hi Lyinsie,

a good friend of mine is playing on Tuesday/Thursday at Kicker's bay futsal, and she's a girl.

Maybe you can have a look at the place in those days at around 9-11pm.

ciao,

Hi All,
I have just moved in a new condo in town area and was thinking whether it is possible to rent out my car park space for I don't own a car.

Cheers!
