Sounds like the best thing you can do is to go home. If you have been here for 3.5 years already then you should know that you will not be able to change industries as you will not have experience so therefore, the MOM would not give you an EP/S pass and there are lots of locals without experience s...

Yep, a regular man for all seasons!

Had that crank thingy on the side did it? lol

Yeah, bgd, I reckon I am. Heck, I doubt if you even know what a rotary dial phone is. Or a party line. Or for that matter 28.8

The reason it's missing in the contract is that it is not in the Initial agreement either. You need to read carefully. TO WIT: The employee will have to pay back XXXXX the cost of recruitment. (which is "equal to" one month's salary). In other words, you will repay the fee that the company...

I don't mean to be harsh, but sometimes you need the straight skinny up front. See my comments in Blue Hi, I'm in need of some advice on SVP for my partner, I've read through ICA website as well as trawled through similar topics but there are still questions that's unanswered and believe ICA would n...

The salary is only part of the equation. The amount of salary will also depend on the amount of rel...

Just so happens I'm in the process of doing just that. We are closing one of our companies this month (separate Pte Ltd Company but owned by the same shareholders/directors) We have applied to the MOM to have all of our foreign staff transfered to our main company who is absorbing all the closing co...

BBCDoc, From what I can piece together, she is a Canadian Japanese (probably) who went to (or back to) Japan for surgery which was botched for one reason or another and the repair job was botched as well and only made it worse and now she is going blind in that eye also. But without knowing it's tru...

Well, a couple of years ago, we had two Yanks, Eastern European and a Filippino as moderators here (only the Filippino has left as he immigrated to Aus). The Admins are in the real estate business and they host this board for us free of charge but with codicils obviously. They are 100% Singaporean. ...

As long as you can get your anti-rejection medication in Singapore easily, I don't see any problem. A least from that standpoint. The Entrepreneur Programme is another ball game. Unless you are planning on going big time, e.g., will have a decent sized local staff, you can pretty much forget going t...
