It's no wonder Singaporean men are upset then. Especially when they find out that Malaysian men are being given EP's even for basic entrance value for S passes. I'd be pissed off as well, knowing a 22 kid could come in with a degree and take a local's degree holder's job at 2/3 of the prevailing rate (for a degree holder) AND be given an EP for what is an S pass rate. That ought to really give the oppies reason to hammer the government.

My malaysian girlfriend is getting an EP too.
And her salary is 2.8 when her employer applied an S pass for her.
Which is weird, i questioned her that its cant be true but well its stated EP on her card...just like mine

Well you can't blame this to a 22 yo kid as he is not the one who approve the pass. As per my position, our company actually did hire a few singaporean with higher salary before. But they vanish after few days of working. I don't know what's the reason.

Hmm, looks like something based on a bilateral agreement between Singapore and Malaysia, otherwise I fail to see any usual SG Gov. motivation behind such an "exception".

Can you imagine what that would do on social media? Wow!
Okay jljj0898, please accept my apologies. I've been in HR for 20 years here and this is the first I've heard of it as well. I'm pretty gobsmacked to tell the truth. It would appear it's pretty common as we're only the tip of the iceberg here. I would reckon you have as good a chance and the next Malaysian Chinese, on getting SGCitizenship. As it appears that the deck is stacked in your favour.
Good Luck.

Actually I think the chance for me to get PR is quite low as I only got 1 tax assessment
But still trying my luck because my family is all here. I have to get PR so I can inherit my stepfather company in future.
Sorry for my rudeness in earlier post too

No problem. But if you have done any research on this board, you will know why we sometimes "Take no prisoners" as it were. Strong Eagle and myself have been paying it forward here for over a dozen years now. We've pretty much seen it all, but occasionally something sneaks up on us. (like your's did). No harm done. We've got pretty thick hides.

This special status for Malaysians is probably going to create a major stink once the word gets out.

Lurker here, but I thought this was common knowledge already?

It's probably common knowledge to only Malaysians who it benefits. I've been in HR for 20 years here and it's the first I've heard about it. Of course that might be because I've never had malaysian employees with local degrees either.
