My wife and i both have permanent Singapore license. I am able to drive comfortably but she is a bit nervous since she has not driven in 5 years and we dont want to risk a new car.

Is there an option for her to take 5-6 hours of refresher driving lessons to feel confident ?

SMU and SIM

Thank You. I am quite okay at communication etc. Just wanna have a positive impact on people I mentor and be successful.

Um... well, ya know... I think I might... um... you know... know about some courses... and or... maybe managing steak holders... although I usually just... um... cough... do my steaks on the grill... and so... well... it's sort of like... you know... well... I'm kinda good at making small talk... I...

I want to work on improving communication skills with people, mainly small talk kinda stuff and manage stakeholders and senior folks.

Are they any tips or workshops or online courses which can help me.

Do they have borderless accounts (like bank accounts)? Its a Payment Industry. I don't know what is a borderless account? I missed u too PNGMK :) Things were good for me so I never had chance to ask any questions. I had a job at data scientist in a silicon valley company. So, they paid well. So, I ...

Hi What is a Director level role in an American Financial Services firm like ? I am from tech background (work at top Silicon Valley firm in Singapore). But I am an IC. I have an offer as a Director level role with people management role. I will be managing an Analytics team. My thought is that some...

Recently, my wife was telling me about a couple who is moving to Canada. They want to live here but their children PR was rejected even tho the parents are PR. So, you expect future citizens to be fully committed and yet you reserve the right to judge the usefulness of people who are willing to comm...

I think the first course of action for the OP is to stop referring to these cases as his friends because you are clearly not friendship material. A citizenship is a reward for you past commitment to Singapore with a hope that it stays that way in future. Just hope, not a bond

The reason why experience is preferred over Ph.D. or graduate degree is mainly due to the quality of managers here. Most can talk, delegate and pray. But they cannot mentor or train or teach or lead by example. Therefore, it is always safer to get someone who has low long-term potential but has some...

When I went to get PR card, they asked me if I am in the same job. I was but what I gathered is that it wont matter even if you change jobs. I suggest follow your dreams rather than compromize. Hi there! Just to shed some light on your situation, I applied for PR in April 2016. I quit the company wh...

At the same time, it is possible some error happened in your STP application. So, appeal mite help. I did my PhD in Singapore. And my EP was rejected not once, but twice. Both due to misinformation in the application. Thanks to HR. And when I applied for PR later, I got it in one attempt despite the...

Really sorry to hear this. I hope it works out for you. But working remotely does not sound good. Most PhD students anyways do courses in the first year or so . They really work with supervisors later on. My advice will be: Request NTU to defer admission by 1 semester. If your case is approved, join...

This is simply not possible unless you have spoken to the Indian maids which I doubt. So, you have basically heard such stories from others who may or may not be exaggerating. Although, I know of a India fren who is a nice guy but two of his maids ran away and one complained about his wife. So yes, ...

Why dont u apply for visa. U can sponser her. I dont see why her visa shd be rejected if it is to complete formalities.

I think a better way to put it would be Financial Freedom rather than Early Retirement. If I dont need to work for money, I can be happier n enjoy working more. Whether one does gardening or research should not matter, as long as its his passion. However, dont defend Conservative, SafePlay and Compr...
