Your problem is that you have no special degree or skills that cannot be found in the local populace. If someone hires you and tries to apply for a work permit with the MoM, they will deny the permit because you have no special skills.

How many years have you taught? What subjects? What are your degrees? PhD?

admin/secretarial is nothing special here, and for outdoor sales you have hundreds of Polytechnic students.

Also, it's usually a better idea to apply from abroad rather than burning up all your money here.

You will not get anywhere through agents.

Again, what are your qualifications? Do you have a master's degree in IT? A Phd? THAT'S what will make you attractive to the local schools. English, math, social sciences, etc, all pointless to mention them if you don't have the certifications to prove it.

Does Singapore recognize this? Here in the UK degrees obtained from Philippine Universities are not recognized. I don't wish to be discouraging but I think this may be the same in Singapore. Hopefully somebody with more local knowledge than me will be able to tell you.

I hoped you are not using this mode of English when submitting your applications.

I'm curious now.......

Why on earth would you want to "MAKE" your wife and daughter come here? Didn't they want to come?

If they did want to come then I hope your degrees aren't in English, as they have enough problems here with that already.

sorry for that, it's a typographical error...

the problem with most of people here is they think they're standing on a high ground just because they speak in "slang"...so oblivious that they never realize they're just a fly standing on a carabao.

what a pity...

Cheers!

I'm even more curious now.......

So very full of yourself. What was the Typographical error? It looked more like just plain improper English to me. I'm not trying to get down on you. You stated you were a teacher! I though teachers liked to constantly keep learning and knowing that you were not a Native Speaker it could have been an honest mistake. Nobody is trying to stand on high ground except you. Oh yes, what slang? Anyway, "made" typed "mead" or "amde" are typographical errors. Using "made" was an incorrect choice of words. Your pride has now earned you some........

or at the very least
