my friend (also graduated from NL) already found a job in singapore by using the LPR scheme. and he suggested that it is better to apply the LPR directly in singapore, instead of using the SMC agency in Indonesia.
which means, i have to come to singapore with a long term social visit pass, or even a tourist visa.

He said that the process will be faster and in the mean time i can start to adapt myself with singaporeans life and even try to find a job already.
my question is, is it true that it is better and faster to appy for LPR in singapore instead of in my home country? isnt it risky?
thank you very much for your time and help. i really appreciate any advice you can give.
