Just like the socialist governments in Germany, China and the US? I think with a growing demand of electricity, rising prices of natural resources and falling prices of renewable sources it will be very interesting even without subsidies as in Germany.JR8 wrote:'Green' energy is for socialist governments, happy to inflict 300% higher utility bills on their citizens.
Typical in Europe, but not so in SE Asia.
China also produces 60% of the world's solar cells. The percentage is growing fast. Opportunities are certainly better in China, but life is easier in Singapore.BnJoe wrote:Since my wife could as well go to China, we're choosing between these two options, and while China is more interesting from the industry outlook (China is already the biggest spender on renewables in the world, mostly wind), I think that Singapore is probably better for a living. I have been to both countries.
You can send PM after five posts (two more to go!).BnJoe wrote:@beppi: I can't send pm yet, but I agree there's a conflict with the oil refinery. However, Singapore is having a large field-test of electric cars or e-mobility in general, so I think there's potential for other sources. Personally, I think oil is way too precious to just burn it, you need it in many other industries, such as plastics, as well.
Yes, pretty accurate, but only for your personal details.BnJoe wrote:By the way, the MOM website has a self assessment tool (telling you whether there are chances of an EP based on your nationality, working exp., education), is it in any way reliable, does it point into the right direction or is it untrustworthy?
It's pretty accurate up to a point. All it does is let you know whether you would pass the academic criteria. It doesn't mean you will get an Employment Pass. If you are trying to get a job that is unrelated to your credentials, you will fail. If the employer cannot justify WHY they need to hire a foreigner, regardless of your credentials, you will fail (or should I say the employer will fail). You cannot apply for an employment pass yourself, you MUST be sponsored by the prospective employer. The only exception to the rule is if you can substantiate basic salary in excess of SGD 8K/mo to enable you to apply for a PEP. This pass is not tied to an employer at all, is good for only 5 years, and can only be gotten once. More can be found on the MOM.gov.sg website.BnJoe wrote:
