Work on finalizing your Plan B, maybe?

I have been told, if stays longer with ica, that means they want you here but looking for a slot to fit you in.

There is some logic to that but I'm sure there's a cut off point as well.
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.
You've been arrested? Law Society of Singapore can provide referrals.
You want an International School job? School website or http://www.ISS.edu
Your rugrat needs a School? Avoid for profit schools
You need Tax advice? Ask a CPA
You ran away without doing NS? Shame on you!

Maybe the "current issue with China" the Govt gonna boot out a few Chinese folks , clear some space that will need filling up by someone else :mrgreen:

Fingers crossed for you , you get one of these freed up places.

But to keep their ratios they will need more Chinese folk, just not from China. :wink:

That should definitely help. If you want Chinese where better to get them than next door. All part of the same country once.

Anecdotal evidence from this forum does seem to suggest that Malaysian Chinese do have an advantage.
