chica86: hi there. i'm a malaysian myself too and now awaiting SIA to apply the work pass for me before i can start training.
first of all, from what i know, SIA do not provide any accomodation for foreign stewardess, whether you're training or not. i travel in n out of JB everyday, so i know. i have msian frens who find places near the airport n its more convenient to go to work. travel expenses (cab fares) are given out through a lump sum, its like "too bad" if u stay far from the airport. =)
secondly, i went back to JB after i had my medical check up. i think you can go back if you want to, cause it'll take a longer time for foreigners to be notified of the results, but make sure you can be reached. =)
the terms of employment are more or less the same, just that we have longer probation periods (if i'm not wrong) and longer bond period too. sporeans' is about 22 mths for the bond, msian 25 mths. meaning u cant leave the company with this period, or else there will be a penalty of $13k.
hope i've answerd your question, and best of luck to both of us for the work pass application! =)
