Re: Icon residence, one Shenton, the Clift , the sail which is better ?
All are fine, but Icon and Sail for instance have no balconies. Sail and 1 Shenton aren't the closest to grocery shopping unless you want to overpay for Jasons or Coldstorage but then again they're not exactly on your doorstep for 1 Shenton. Of the four you have selected I would go for Clift or 1 Sh...

Re: Dependent pass or employment pass
Will working under dependent visa better for me in terms of tax and insurance benefits? Only you and you alone know your tax situation so you'll need to make the decision.

They only offer local contracts and have been doing so for probably 10 years. ...and SCB you should consider a different company. It's one of the worst places to work and has a very poor r...

Re: !! Working for overseas company as DP in SG!
First, the company must have no legal presence in Singapore, otherwise you would need a work permit to work for that legal presence in Singapore. And second, the company must not offer goods or services in Singapore, otherwise, it would be required to form a legal entity, then obtain a work permit ...

Re: Furniture and appliances
Appliances like white goods I would not as condo's usually come with them already. Furniture on the other hand really depends on what you have already, the quality and if you like and want to keep them. As with most places in the world you can get a range from very cheap to very expensive. You need ...

Re: Do you think there will be more fire sale?
Total the opposite, property price are likely to go up. In times of uncertainty money shifts to safer havens, e.g. gold, cash and in the cash of Singapore property.

Re: Dilemma with providing salary information
The issue for me is I may have over exaggerated my salary when I was negotiating with my new employer and obviously they will see the application form. Will the Singapore Government verify my previous salary or...? You need to get past the hurdle of the new company first. You better hope that they'...

Best bet is to position yourselves as well as you can job wise in the UK to open those opportunities to get a transfer here.

Re: Should I give a heads up before enacting diplomatic clause?
Good luck trying to enact that based on your resignation.
